Prom Nears, Juniors Worry- Will We Have a Band? The preparation was over. All the money had been spent on tuxedos, orchids, and long dresses. The juniors' time had been spent on decorating the gym and its lobby. As always, any time an entire class, or rather the working half of it, gets together to work on a project, disagree- ments will arise. This year those disagreements were held to a minimum and the work was done well and quickly. And finally after all the money, work, and arguments the 1975 junior-senior prom was prepared and waiting. Then came the shocking news that the contracted band could not come and was reportedly sending an inferior substi- tute. At 8:00 the doors opened and excited upperclassmen entered into the Serenade of the Sea. The blue and green streamers, the paper fish, and the painted props of the sea helped bring about the mood of the evening. The seniors sat at the tables as they watched the crowning of the king and queen, and the short, but timely, sophomore skits. But most of the night they battled the heat and danced to Faded Blue, the substitute band. The band had good harmony and a strong beat which squelched the rumor that they were an inferior group. 24 Junior-Senior Prom

It was at this time that outstanding scholars and athletes were presented with awards for their achievements of the past year. For the first time, seniors wore caps and gowns to the assembly. The 1975 seniors graduated on June 5th.
