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

A future engineer, he soon became known as the life of the party. His antics included going to the door of a woman's house and explain- ing in Spanish that he was the Argentinian ambassador and could she please tell him how to get to Washington. Ernest lived with Steve Wainscott and his family this year. This year East was fortunate enough to have two exchange students. One of these was Ana Maria Bromley from Lima, Peru. Ana Maria lived with Patty Delaaney, the chairman of the American Field Service Corn- mittee at East, and her family. Ana Maria, who speaks English and Spanish fluently, soon became accustomed to American and all its idioms. Ana Maria is on the surface a very reserved person, yet she fascinated all her new acquaintances this year with her Latin wit. First row: Patty DeLaney, Ana Maria Bromley. Sec- ond row: Nlr.
