PROM The doors of the Ivy Stone Inn opened to a lane of poplar trees and old-fashioned street lanterns which led up to the ivy-covered trellises above the royal throne. Sophistication was the keynote of the Colonial Cotillion -in the ballgowns, in the music of Ricky Roland's orchestra, in the serving of dinners. in the receiving line, in the grand march, and in the crowning of the queen. The formal air which prevailed lent itself readily to the regal splendor of rustling gowns and fragrant flowers. Each couple appeared to have just stepped from the elegance of the society pages into the ball- room of a colonial mansion. And, perhaps, in their thoughts, they had, for their faces glowed with the ecstasy of youth discovering a new phase of their social maturity. The parchment dance program and tiny gold charm will recall the evening for many years to come. The success of the Colonial Cotillion, however. can never be duplicated, for it was the success of two firsts-the first senior class at their first senior prom. Even if succeeding proms of succeeding classes are more elaborate, they will lack that extra some- thing special that's part of being first. Evelyn Kiesel smiles royally from her royal throne. Crowned at the culmination of a grand march, Evie made a beautiful queen for a beautiful prom. Over 300 guests enjoyed circling the dance floor in time with the orchestra.

THE JUNIOR PROM. MAY 'l. 1959 The funior Prom climaxed weeks of preparations and plans. With skillfully made decorations and a flick of the imagination the gym was transformed into an isle of enchantment whose shores were lapped with waves of melody by Ioe Conway's Band. Palm trees lined the floor and a small island com- plete with canoe and native hut stood idyllically in the center of the tropical paradise. The flickering candles and golden pineapples atop individual tae bles circling the dance floor contributed to the Ha- waiian atmosphere of a most unforgettable evening. The dancers seem to enjoy the Polynesian atmosphere. wx -dv' 43 Most couples enjoyed parties both before and after the prom and refreshment afterwards at one of the plush local restau- rants, such as the appropriate Hawaiian Cottage. All these little extras enhances a wonderful evening of fun and danc- ing at the prom itself. Some early arrivals to the prom find themselves marroones on a lonely South Sea isle in a Hawai ian Paradise . They are Cl. to r.l Indy Long, Ronald Schearer, lerri Kerr Iohn Musitano, Marsha Fishman, and Alan Cohen. Q-ww Bidding a fond farewell to their tropic isle are Faye Bohon and her date. Memories of this first iunior prom will inadvertently come to mind with every golden pineapple, sunny Hawaiian travel poster, and soft South Sea music. - 4
