Prom The theme Puttin on the Ritz fit the prom dance very well as blue jeans and tennis shoes were discarded for elegant gowns and dazzling tuxedos. For many prom-goers the elaborate evening began with fine dining at a posh restaurant. From there they advanced to the high school gymnasium for the formal dance. As the students crossed a large crepe paper bridge, they entered the gym which had been trans- formed into a small city in black, silver and blue. The prom-goers were entertained by the band, Grand Marshall. For the students that took advantage of the post- prom activities, the evening lasted till the wee hours of the morning. They received excellent ser- vice from Elks' Club members as their cars were parked for them and they were filmed promenading into the CO-ED Theater to see the movie, Foot- loose. After the movie many prom-goers quickly changed into casual wear and attended the dance at the Elks' Club from 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. After the sparkling evening ended, the weary- eyed prom-goers went home to press flowers into memory books and to sleep. 1.
