H Candidates for Student Council offices uneasily faced the student body on April llth, 1956, and proclaimed in convincing fashion the advantages of their election. preceding this rally, catchy campaign slogans and clever cartoons had intensified the atmosphere of a political campaign. Verbally exchanging blow for blow, Chet Carrara and Larry Craig fought for the presidency, while Lance Lindeen and Bill Schrodt sparred for vice-president. Iudy Barker and Carolyn Shal- lenberger battled for the office of secretary, and, racing for treasurer, Alice Hensler and Marietta Welch competed for the enviable job of handling money.

N ' tg ' fill fll lll0f'L1 Q Cfl1fl01'L jf fl-Ulll SpectacularI,' is the word describing the 1956 Junior-Senior Prom! Crowds of admiring friends and relatives crammed into the high school auditorium to witness the traditional Grand March. Led by the class officers, the march moved beneath a fern-flanked, black and white canopy as mellow strains set the tempo. The girls, on the arms of their trim and handsome escorts, were gracefully gowned in a galaxy of softly flowing formals, while the boys, in dinner jackets and suits, appropriately complimented the formal atmosphere. Passing through the auditorium, couples promenaded to the ballroom where they found themselves in a glittering replica of the world-famous Stork Club. A skyline view of New York after dark provided an authentic background for the cozy tables circling the dance floor. A ceiling of graceful black and white streamers were swept back, revealing a top hat and forming a backdrop for the orchestra. The dancers swayed to the soft, subtle rhythm of Fred Hess' orchestra as a multicolored spotlight played over them in a pale ray of rainbow hues. Punctuating the evening's entertainment, the 4'Epics,', the orchestra's quartet, were enthusiastically applauded by the Prom-goers. Tbis Page Sponsored by: COLEMAN CLINIC
