Cut Glass Sets The Tempo PROM PLANNING began months in advance. Choosing a band, finding a good location, and deciding the menu was the work of the Junior and Senior Class Officers and their advisors.'As the month of May approached, final arrange- ments were made for the only formal dance of the year under the school's jurisdiction. Held on May 9, at the Top of the Mart, from 8:00-12:00 p.m., the warm evening fthe tempera- ture was 69 outsideb quickly grew hot fthe temp- erature was 89 insideb as couples moved on the dance floor to the music of Cut Glass. lf the high temperatures' had a bad effect on the at- mosphere ofthe evening, it wasn't shown by the some 300 people who attended. Formal apparel, tuxedoes for boys and long dresses for girls seemed to be the style this year although there were a few couples dressed casu- ally, boys in sport jackets and girls in pant suits. Shoes, coats, ties, and wraps were shed because of the heat of dancing on a humid night. Before partially disrobing, however, many couples had formal pictures taken for five dollars. Tickets were sold during April at a cost of eight dollars per couple. This price covered the cost of the band and various snacks, including punch, fried chicken legs, finger sandwiches, cakes, and Swedish meatballs. Although the question of having a Prom was once a controversial one, this year's overwhelm- ing response, participation, and enthusiasm transformed an old tradition into something to be looked forward to every year. 16 CHAPERONING ARE Mr. Pierce, Mr. Shaver and Miss Neely.
