JUNIOR PROM The Black Earth gymnasium was trans- formed into a beautiful Hawaiian scene for the Junior Prom, held May 8, 1948, with King Harlan Lertch and Queen La Vera Garfoot reigning over the event. For the Grand March, the orchestra played the theme song, Song of the Islands. Palm trees swayed under the deep Mid- night Blue, star speckled sky. Many colored paper streamers and figures of Hawaiian persons decorated the sides and wells of the Ballroom. One of the main attractions was the beauti- ful Ice Punch Bowl, into which Roses were frozen. It was placed at the division line of the dance floor and lounge.
