Un April 27, 1962, the Junior-Senior Prom was held at Radio Center. The music by the Appatones Crchestra helped the dreamflike atmosphere of Storybook Land. All couples entered through a huge storybook. After entering they could gaze upon the stage with its huge castle and with the band in the foreground. A huge star above the dance floor revolved above the tables decorated with castle towers as candle holders. The picture-taking area with its huge pumpkin drawn by white mice fas- cinated all those present. The railing of the bal- cony was decorated with heraldic symbols on shields while replicas of characters from childhood stories were hung on the walls. Soon after the guests entered it was time for the Grand March. After all the couples had been presented, a special dance was played for them. Immediately after the Grand March, refreshments were served. The short span of time after refreshments was spent dancing. At the bewitching hour of midnight the guests left their dream world for reality. Some the couples who participated in the Grand March enjoy the special dance held for them
