On the evening of May 16, 1965, couples strolled through the doors of the Elks Club. Inside they found a Shangri-La paradise. The ballroom was floating to the music of the Ray Sutherland orchestra. The mist of unending happiness whirled out on the lawn and the patio into the night, where glowing volcanoes filled the air with fantasy, and candlelit tables were the scene of romanticism. Inthe late twilight of Shangri-La Steve Poole, Junior Class president, presented Miss Kay Wolff with a jeweled crown, a dozen long-stem red roses, and an evening of glorious nobility as she reigned as the 1965 Prom queen in her pagoda made with a beautiful array of living pastel carnations. Miss Wolff and her escort, Mr. Denny Bozell, danced to the theme song while her court, Miss Linda Justice, Miss Linda Elliot, Miss Gail Stiner, Miss Michelle Kennedy, and Miss Cindy Reynolds, shared in her dreamland of paradise. The service clubs of Elwood provided the prom-goers with excellent food throughout the course of the evening. After a couple of games of bowling and pool in the wee hours of the morning, the couples returned to the Elks wonderland to end the 1965 prom with a tasty breakfast. 16

Foreign Exchange Students Promote Val spends an evening at home with her American brother, Steve and One of Val's most enjoyable activ-sisters, Dianne and Anita. ities was choir. Val writes home often and also to her sister, who is an exchange student in Michigan. 18 Willkie High was very proud and honored to have as members of the student body Miss Waltraud Schauble and Mr. Lennart Melander. They were the two foreign exchange students sent to us this year through the Youth For Understanding placement service. They were sponsored by the Willkie High Student Council. Waltraud came tous from Oldenburg, Germany. She is an honorary member of the Student Council, Thespians, Modern Language Club, and Future Teachers of America. Her subjects this year included U.S. History, Civics, Sociology, Speech, Choir, Band, Biology, and Drivers Education. Her American parents were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Linegar. Perhaps the biggest and most exciting part of Val's and Lennart's schoolactiv-ities was the International Day held on March 4th. They played host and hostess to students, like themselves from 14 different countries. It was a wonderful time for the foreign exchange students to get together and compare notes and talk of home. Throughout the year Val and Lennart have visited different groups in the community and presented talks.
