Juniors Sponsor Prom and Banquet Each year in May the Jr. class sponsors the Jr-Sr Banquet. They have a lot of good food and loads of good fun. The Jrs. buy gag gifts for the Srs. and the Srs. buy gag gifts for the Jrs. The gifts range any- where from jeans to fit long legged, skinny dolls to safety pins. It is just one of the many activities we all look forward to. The Jrs. also put on the Jr-Sr Prom. It is a big event for the entire town and especially for the Jrs. The Jrs. do most of the work including all of the decorating and picking a theme. The 1975 Prom’s theme was “Bungle in the Jungle”. The prom which is open to the public is fun for everybody whether they can dance or not. Opening her gift, Kim Burdin finds a pair of jeans that would fit a skinny doll with legs two feet long. 24

Chicken of the Sea, John Stuart as Neptune is waited on by his mermaids, Rhonda Bur- din, Pat Clancy and Holly Haines. Meekly awaiting the call for a slave, Gay Matthews looks at the guests. Behind her the other slaves hide. Trying to please Mr. Crotty, slave Andy Schuschereba offers a tray of deviled eggs. Food with LATIN BANQUET Although the slaves may be sometimes embarrassed, it’s all in fun. Each year the Latin Club sponsors a Latin Banquet. This year’s theme was “Neptune’s Palace”. Nep- tune is God of the sea in Roman Mythology. To fit this theme there was a “fishy” cake and the decorations all per- tained to sea life. The theme varies from year to year but tradition holds fast. Members will wear togas as a sign that they are superior to the slaves in their simple tunics. This year’s slaves anxiously await the time they can be the masters of the next group of slaves.
