Plannin' our dancin' Imuk, l-lvnns. Snell, Hlynn, Peterson, Afldington, Three To Go! The music of Jules Herman and his or- chestra accompanied Promers to fast and slow dances and provided accent with a couple of breathtaking bunny hops. Through- out the dancing and during the grand march, the lovely maze of varied formals made the dance floor resemble a mass of moving color. As twelve olclock approached, Prom-goers gathered on the dance floor for one last whirl. From the Terp many went to the Country Club for two hours more of dancing. Others met at the Paramount Theater for a special movie. A host of parties rounded out the night's festivities as Prom-goers met in var- ious homes to eat and to discuss a busy eve- ning of activities. Formals and suits were exchanged for jeans and sloppy shirts so that the fear of spilling or tearing could be for- gotten. Todd Park was the scene of a pic- nic breakfast complete with breakfast rolls, watermelon and chocolate cake. Morning finally brought a reluctant end to Prom Night 1953. lhrke. XY:ii'fel.

As clocks all over the school clicked to 10:08, AHS students were released from classes for 45 minutes to attend assemblies. Throughout the year that bell called stu- dents to speeches, to laugh at lively pep skits, to sing together or to watch dramatic presen- tations. At the first assembly, some loco talent was introduced-the Boy's Five Mile Corner Ten Minus Two. In following assemblies, professional performers like the Lunds with a table tennis exhibition and the Singing Marines with popular and semi-classical songs appeared. On the local scene, pep skits included the jug band and the noisy Macal- ester story tellers. II1 4 I NI lllll
