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.

Later in the year a demonstration of gym- nastics and the fundamentals of wrestling was put on by a team composed of two wrestlers and two gymnasiasts from Ball State Teachers College. This program was brought to the students through the efforts of Mr. Donald Huffer, the wrestling coach. The senior class was responsible for bringing the Butler Glee Club to Carmel High.
