Golden Elegance at the Claremont in Berkeley Golden Elegance was the theme of the high- ly successful Junior Class Prom. One attract- ion of the dance that differed from past years was that the dance for the first time was held off-campus at the Claremont Hotel's Churchill Room. The class managed to get the room that is regularly rented for 5500, donated for the night. The Black Paint and Company provided the entertainment for the dance from 8 to 12 p.m. The dance was open to all El Cerrito High School students and their dates at a cost of 54.25 per couple. The success of this dance hopefully will lead to more off-campus dances in the future. Pat Epperson and her date dance to the music by Black Paint and Co. 45
