Tolly Mixed with the hustle and bustle of moving to the new school building was the excitement and glamour ofthe l957 Tolo, Pink Paradise. The annual dance, sponsored by the Edmonds Girls' Club, brought up the traditional questions, Who shall l take? How can I ask him? and What will l wear? The heaven-on-earth atmos- phere ofthe dance was created by misty pink angel's hair, celestial white columns, graceful black flamingos and beautiful lighting ef- fects. ln trying to create a setting of paradise the Tolo committee faced an unusual number of problems because of the inconvenience of decorating in the old high school. The lack of time for decorating was responsible forthe elimination of the false ceiling usually used in decorating the gym. Much of the credit for the success of the Tolo should goto Jackie Brodie, general chair- man, who is pictured on the left. Through her efforts a total of 200 couples attended the dance. by 1 NL J., 'l B S Some of the pre dance behind the scenes action is depicted by the two girls, Dreamy dance music played by the Gene Atkins band supplied the final magic Dawn Gannon and Bev Peacha shown in the left picture decorating the Tolo touch to complete the heavenly illusion enveloping the dancers shown in the PUnCl SlGY1d picture above.
