TI-IE IUNIOR-SENIOR PBOMENADE The prom, which is the most looked-forward-to event of the whole school year, was held on May 25 at the Edinboro County Club. Music was provided by lim Modica's orchestra. The decorations were simple but very nice-red peonies and ferns. Because the senior class flower, lily of the valley, was not in season, snap- dragons were used to decorate the luncheon table. The refreshments included punch, cookies, and tiny sandwiches. Mrs. Becker and Miss Schroyer arrived looking very nice, and Miss Schroyer's five guests were an attractive addition to our gathering. Mr. Timmons and Mr. Hauck appeared, accompanied by their charming wives. The last of the faculty to arrive was Mr. Kell, but we saw no signs of his currentgirl. Maybe C. I. was playing lone wolf. To add a little extra excitement, a few couples decided it would be fun to borrow some rowboats. The girls came back with not even their feet wet, but the boys looked as though they had just emerged from a shower. Maybe they decided to swim back! Oddity, or Why girl-friends get gray-that bright senior boy who brought a trig problem to the prom. The high light of the evening was the crowning of the Prom King and Queen. Mary Cochran looked lovely in her crown of flowers, and Don Buseck really looked kingly in his gilt crown. At l2:30 a. m. the orchestra played their theme song, and everyone reluctantly prepared to leave. While saying goodbye, we were entertained by the trumpet player who doubled on the piano. He played a few beautiful classics for us-a fitting end foraperfect evening. Everyone left for the post-prom parties feeling that this had been one of the most successful proms ever. And We're glad to report that the grape juice which Mrs. Becker spilled on Iane's dress while mixing punch came off com- pletely at the dry cleaner's. -THE STAFF. BEST DRESSED GIRL-Bark. BEST DRESSED BOY-Harold. MOST TYPICAL HIGH SCHOOL BOY-Walker. MOST TYPICAL HIGH SCHOOL GIRL-Wig. TALKATIVE GIRL-Viola. MOST ARTISTIC GIRL--Ruth W. SHYEST GIRL-Winnie. SHYEST BOY-Fred. MOST STRIKING GIRL-Holland Page 25
