26 THE MASCOUTIN THE PROM. 1920 PROM BR1LLL4NX AND GAY AFFAIR JUNIOR CLASS DANCING PARTV IS ELABORATE AND DE- LIGHTFUL FUNCTION More Than 100 Couples Enjoy Danc- ing ia Beautifully Decorated Gym. Excellent Music—Many Spec- tators — Supper Served. The most elaborate sociai function of the year, the annual junior prom, piven thi» year by the class of 1920, was held in the High schoo ' .gymnasi- um Friday evening. As usual this year ' s junior class had made an es- pecial effort to make the affair in eve- ry way delightful and if possible to outdo the proms of previous years. The large gym ' was converted into a ball room through the splendid work of the decorating committee who hav ' been hard at work for the past six weeks. Purple and gold, the class col- ors, predominated, forming a canopy for the ceiling and entwining the rail- , ings and supports of the balcony. Above the north door hung a large pui7)lc shield with 20 lettered on it in gold chrysanthemums. White and yellow chrysanthemums also formed part of the decoration. The stage had been rendered into a reception room with wicker chairs and couches and a large yellow floor lamp; three arches in tree effect gave a certain degree of privacy to the st5,s;e. which was banked with ferns and palms. Sev- eral large American flags were hung against the walls. The entire scene was one of unus- ual beauty and chami. Spectator.-, between 200 and 300, packed the gal- lerj- and filled the seats along the en- tire west side of the dancing floor, many ol them having reached th3 bttildiog »a early as 1 o ' clock in order be n to arrive shoitly after the room tool: on an even more gala appear- ance ar.G soon the charming bright gowns of the women stood out vividly against the somber costumes of their escorts. A sprinkling of uniforms, l iaki and blue, added a military touch to tne scene. A concert of about seven numbers was given by Wheeler ' s orchestra, Oshkosh. which has won well deserved popularity in this city, while the gym was filling with the dancers, and at about 9:30 o ' clock the grand march foi-med and w led by Charles Man- ning, junior class president, and M.. s Madeline Carey, vice president, Mjss Flora Piekarski and Arthur Bruegger, Miss Grace Hamilton and Hiram Engr elbrachtj and MissJdX2lleJlughes anJ Georg e Cunningham. With some fif- the ty couples forming the long line, inarch was a splendid siffht and came to an end when the whole procession passed. t vo by two, under three arches of white chrysanthemums held by the three leading couples.
