Dances seem to represent a very important phase of school life, for they are widely anticipated by a great many stu- dents throughout the year.

In the background an enchanting colonial mansion with snow white pillars could be seen through spreading cypress trees. This picturesque scene was set in an atmos- phere of gardens with overhanging Spanish moss and wrought iron benches.

Though the decorations were very beaut- iful, the most impressive sight of the whole evening was the crowning of the prom queen, Ioan Lowry, whoo was chosen by the junior fellows to reign over the KSouthern Serenade?
