Juniors Host Seniors in Neptune’s Realm When the seniors arrived at the small gymnasium on the evening of May 2, they were greeted at the door by four charming mermaids, dressed in emerald-green floor length formals, and three handsome sailors. Upon entering, they found the gym had been transformed through the artful work of the juniors into a Fantasy of the Sea. Fish of all colors and shapes swam beneath rolling waves of blue and gray. A large pink octopus sat on the stage clasping a treasure chest in its tentacles. A beautiful perfumed fountain in the middle of the ocean floor gave a special luster to the watery depth. In one corner of the sea was a large white oyster shell containing a crystal pearl and smaller pearls which had the faculty's initials printed on them. A special treat of shrimp cocktail was served as the first course of the lavish banquet. After dinner, King Neptune and his court splashed in to entertain their guests. Shortly following the prom banquet, Danny Beck and his orchestra filled the world of fantasy with dreamy dancing music. 25
