And For Dancing Queen of the 1959 Prom was Wendy Wilson, Senior. Her escort was Greg Ferrin. The entertainment was outstanding and definitely made the Prom even more enjoyable. The 1959 Prom was held In the Carmel High School cafeteria on Saturday, May 16 at 7:30 P.M. The theme, Shangri-la, was carried out through the use of Chinese lanterns and soft lights. The preparation by the Junior class for the Prom took a lot of hard work but the result was worth it all. The people deserving the most credit were Nancy Irvine, head chairman, and her committee chairmen, Janet Mayo, Cherie Luke, Sharon Kinnaman, Gail -Dorsey, Don Lawhead, Linda Schmidlin, and their committees. After a delicious dinner of ham, baked potatoes, salad, tomato juice, milk, and lime sherbet and butter cookies for dessert, the dancing began to the music of Vic Knight and his orchestra. During the evening the Prom guests were entertained by T. R. and the Rockets from Washington High School and the Aristo-cats from Shortridge with rock- ' n- roll music. It was a night to remember for a long time. The joy and happiness of this occasion may be seen written all over the countenances of the many people there.

We Had Time For Fun A Whale Of A Team That Won ' t Eat D-Feet was the theme of the Freshman float that won second prize.

The requirements are a pleasant personality and a pretty face as shown by the 1959 Queen, Judy Parks, Junior and her court: Sue Devine, Freshman; Carol Pattison, Sophomore; and Jane Baur, Senior. Their escorts are Boo Sinnock, Dave Miller, Steve Godwin, and Donn Fry. The football season rolled around, with it came Homecoming. The students, their en- thusiasm at its highest peak, worked together to produce this event which all would re- member. The night before the game, a parade consisting of the team on the fire engine, the band, and all enthusiastic boosters of the team marched through the streets of Carmel. On the gridiron after the parade, around a large bonfire, the fans cheered for the team. In order to build spirit even higher, in the afternoon pep session, the cheerleaders and the football players placed Frankie, standing for Franklin, in the trash can where he rightfully belonged. All of this spirit and trust in the team was not in vain. The Hounds played one of the best games of the season when they defeated Franklin 33-6. This was our first Homecoming victory in four years.
