Dances Crowning of Queen Highlights March Prom Climaxing B-CC’s 1965 football season, the tradi- tional Pigskin Prom was given by the senior class to honor the football team, cheerleaders, pom pons, band, and majorettes. This year’s prom was dubbed the “Most Spectacular,’’ for the crowning of the first Miss Baron and the creation of a school Football Hall of Fame were initiated. To usher in the Christmas season, Keyettcs and Civ- inettcs sponsored the “Mistletoe Ball.” This year a forest of abstract cardboard trees, plastic stars hanging from the rafters, and a huge mistletoe ball replaced the traditional decorations. In March the juniors honored the Seniors with their prom, “Ebbtide.” In addition to the traditional prom queen and her court. King Neptune helped reign over an underwater wonderland.
