U16 RGYAUI of U16 SGA AWAIIIS the A bird's-eye view of a Sea Dream. The Prom-Les Reves de Mer-climaxed this year's dancing season. Couples walked past a huge treasure chest, and through an archway of fishnet into a deep, fish-inhabited ocean. There they found a large sunken pirate ship and an immense clam shell of pink containing Dick Van and his band. His band's wonderful music Carried them through the dreams of the sea. The theme, Les Reves de Mer, is the French translation of Sea Dreams. In order to carry out this theme, the gym decorations completely portrayed underwater atmosphere. Aqua and white angel hair made up the top of the ocean. Each table held small replicas of an ocean floor including treasure chests, a fishing net, coral and rocks. Truly, all those who attended the 1959 Prom could have danced and dreamed all night to the murmuring of the sea. The King-Dave. The Queen-Charlene. The song- April Love. .... The Prom!

sock hops, spice the time Fon fizolic They could have danced all night. The song expressed the wishes of the couples who at- tended the three yearly dances and the many after-game hops, held throughout the year at Clay. Benign jack-o-lanterns and a silvery moon smiled down at the dancing couples at the an- nual senior dance, Frosty Frolic. The whirling couples smiled back. April-a beautiful month-was most noted for rain. April is now most noted for the junior dance, April Showers. The musical notes of Dick Van reigned over the gliding partners. The dancing season was punctuated by va- rious club-sponsored sock and sweater hops. The main ones were the football Homecoming dance and the sock hop after our final victory in the County Tourney. Dancing is a big thing at Clay and all are loved-from the sock hops to the Prom. They could have danced all night at every dance. Many familiar faces are seen as Clay students and their dates enjoy themselves at April Showers. in A slow tune and a pretty girl-what more could one ask. Swinging under the spotlight to the music of the In- trigues, Roger Meredith and Judy Johnston dance to the tune So Fine.
