Once Upon a Time was selected as the theme by the junior class who also sponsored the prom. For the first year, no dinner preceded the prom, due to cost and the shortage of students attending. Admission to the prom was free to all seniors who sold candy during the senior candy sale. To all other students, cost of admission was three dollars. Music was provided by the Stuart Carr Orchestra and Mr.' Clyde Dirla, Central's official photographer, was on hand to take pictures of couples which could be purchased later in the year. It was a pleasurable evening as seniors counted down the minutes that would bring to an end their fun-filled years at Central. Hand in hand, a couple pause to share their enjoyment of the special night. Ribbons, curls and formal dress add beauty to the prom. ORGANIZATIONS Si ACTIVITIES-17

Chairman for the ball was Andrea Lupo. The gym was adorned with decorations signifying each of the twelve days of Christmas. Located in the center of the gym was a gigantic tree decorated with silver tinsel and red canes. ' To highlight the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus were preseri to hand out Christmas tokens to those couples whose ticket numbers were called. Girls' League decided instead of having an orchestra to have a group that would play fast dances along with slow music. Enter- tainment was furnished by The Stillwater Experiment, a group from Ann Arbor. Dress for the ball was semi- formal with a two-way bid and all grades invited. The price for tick- ets was three dollars per couple. Sue Petiprin and her escort Skip Cembarow- ski accept one of the many tokens presented by Mr. and Mrs. Claus at the Christmas Ball.
