Iuniors The Juniors comprised the smallest class in Dayton High School this term with 41 A's and 20 B's. JUNIOR PROMENADE Juniors and Seniors who luckily got a date for and to the junior prom this year found themselves miraculously whisked across the Atlantic and the Med- itteranean to fair Italy, land of sun and Duce. The high school gymnasium was transformed during the first part of the evening into a recfangular vineyard set in the midst of the wine production valleys in Italy. Soft lights, great purple and blue clusters of grapes and shin- ing white latticework combined to give the appearance of a genuine Italian grape arbor with a modcrnistic slant. Music for the dancing students and faculty was provided by the High School Dance band, nominally, Merideth's Rhythm Makers, Two vocals were fur- nished by Bill Dick, drummer in the band, The new speaker system was used to amplify the music of the orchestra, Delicious refreshments were served consisting of cold punch. coffee and cho- colate covered cream puffs filled with ice cream. During the intermission while refreshments were being served three tap-dancers entertained. The success of the prom was the result of the efforts of Miss Hatch, Junior Class advisor, and the Junior Class. Besides financing the annual Junior Prom, the Junior class this year con- tributed an appropriation of S25 to the Nesika Wawa fund and underwrote one of the all-high school dances.
