Wet Lips and Greasy Hair Return Turning the years back to 1950 was the idea the Pep Club had when they decided to have a ’’sock hop. To make the dance more realistic every- one wore clothes like those in the 50’s, long skins, bobby socks, saddle shoes, red lipstick, straight legged jeans, penny loafers and greasy hair. They were all prepared to Rock Around the Clock, while dancing the Jitterbug, twist and swim. April Crowell is thrilled by Terry Harris and his new shades and hair style. 29 Tom Smith and Cyndi Sands take a break in the action to watch everyone swing and sway.

The dance floor was packed as everyone boogied to the sounds of Blue Max. Southern Hospitality Highlights J-Prom Showboat Magic was the theme for J-Prom 74. The couples entered over a gangplank into the cafeteria deco- rated with dangling stars, anchors, port holes, and fish nets filled with balloons. A casino was an added attraction to complete the touch of southern hospitality. Blue Max pro- vided the music and the crowd helped provide the fun every- one had.
