5 af Under the Magnolias proved to be an exciting theme-exciting both to the juniors and the seniors who were attending the first prom Ashe Central has ever had. The colonial setting was the basis for a dance long to be re- membered. Waltzes, foxtrots, rock 'n roll, yes-even a novelty dance resulted from the mood created by color- ful streamers, balloons, and magnolia trees. Our sophomore colored waiters served food in co-ordination with our color scheme of green, yellow, and pink. Yes, the junior- Senior Prom of 1961 was truly an event to be long remembered in the hearts of those who attended. 77

The chief extra-curricular in- terest of the juniors is the raising of money for the junior- Senior affair to be held in the spring. The sock hops, selling of all kinds of articles to raise money, and then the plans tobe made for the great event consume all the extra time of the majority of the class members.
