That night Pat Detlefsen was crowned queen of the Prom with Joan Gauer and Mary Ann I homas, princesses. With “Wishing Well” as the theme, and thousands of paper napkins forming the pastel decorations, the dance in the Community Building was a wonderful climax to the evening. Junior-Senior Rendezvous, a formal dessert, was held by the class to honor the Seniors before the Prom. The class will, prophecy and laughter were enjoyed with the strawberry shortcake. Another achievement of this class was the play, “Inner Willy ”, given on March 15. Everyone enjoyed this delightful comedy, directed bv Miss Annetta Quick.
