Couples Float Through Ocean Kingdom. . . Gleaming waves tumbling from the midst of the ocean splashed upon the walls. Fish, fishnets. blue and green lights. and a sparkling treasure island completed the set- ting for the 1972 Junior-Senior Prom. Volunteers from the Sopho- more class. garbed as mermaids and sailors. complemented the total scene. Dreamy music. by Johnny Nolan and his Orchestra. provided just the right touch of romanticism. The evening was lap- ping away the sands 0ftime. Every- thing was peaceful . . .

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. Inter- ested students gave up their study halls, and many others stayed after school until evening to help finish the work. When it was done. our gym had been successfully trans- ferred into a glittering water won- derland. Upper left: Pat Nagel. Betty Parker. and Kathy Larson get together to finish prom decorations.

. . . Surface On Shores Of Treasure Island . . . Crash! went the drumsticks 0n the cymbals as the Spaulding Hotel snapped the crowd back into reality at Post Prom. Shoes were shed, suspenders dropped, suitcoats were flung over chairs, and everyone relaxed. The Juniors and Seniors have the hard-working parents to thank for the most suc- cessful Post Prom ever. The theme. Treasure Island. was developed by giving treasure to everyone present and by using silver palm trees and islands as table decorations. Activ- ities terminated at three in the morning. when the mythical ocean waves reclaimed the dream world. Opposile page: Upper right: A quiet moment passes between Don Hoffman and Nancy Moldenhauer.
