Juniors Create Sea Fantasy In spite of the slow start com- mon to all prom crews and the lack of workers. the prom finally developed into a beautiful t'City Under the Sea. At first only a handful of Juniors attended very unorganized meetings. but they eventually formed themselves into committees and decided on deco- rations. Work progressed slowly until in the last week a panic call was made for more workers.
