On the magic night of May 4, 1974, the Junior Class, after much hard work, proudly presented their prom, Precious and Few . The Holiday Inn was the setting, and the class colors, ice blue and silver, set the mood for a romantic evening. Jesuit Bena provided music to accent the night. Faculty and School Board members enjoyed the Prom as well as the students. Linda Kidd and Joanne Stowers presented Mr. Roger Thompson, class sponsor, with a small gift as a token of appreciation for his hard work and never-ending patience. 14
