Memorable Prom Held at Mayflower Hotel After a year of planning, the Junior-Senior Prom came off as a tremendous success. From the selling of the first lightbulb to the last morsel of the spaghetti dinner, the third-year men were determined to make the ball a gala occasion for the graduating class. The setting was fantastic—The Grand Ballroom and Chinese Room of the Mayflower Hotel. The impres¬ sive glass doors and ornate balconies were enough decoration in themselves, but the flowers added the ultimate touch of spring. The outstanding queen and her regal attendants danced gracefully among the crowd. Every person had his own memories of the Prom, but for everyone, May 31st was a night to remember. Honorary membersof Prom Court: L. to R—Marcia Clark, Homecoming Queen; Ylva Soderlind, Foreign Exchange Student; Jill Poole, Sweetheart Queen. Maid of Honor, Cindy Kleinfeld. Prom Queen, Julie Short. 28

Chanting their ridiculous cheers, the Super Senior cheerleaders promote ' 68 spirit. Super Senior Jags Dump Faculty And Juniors Closely guarded by a struggling junior, Len Beech chalks up another one for the Super Seniors. Well, they did it again. Once more the juniors made excuses for their defeat in the Junior-Senior basketball game. While the seniors had fun, the ju¬ niors built up a halftime lead and a bad case of false hope which was soon to be cured. Back on the court after a highly emotional halftime pep talk by coach Rob Childress, the seniors came back to play ball and deftly outscored their opposition. Having the referees and the official scorer greatly added to the seniors’ already over-powering advantage but every¬ thing is fair in love, war, and Jr.—Sr. sports contests. The juniors were good sports about losing a game which is against the rules for them to win and fans from both sides got in on the action as the Key Club contributed the gate intake to the March of Dimes. In the preliminary game during this immortal double-header, the senior varsity members proved too much for the senior citizens as the boys got a chance to teach the teachers. The game was close and both teams were hot but the shooting of Rob Childress and Pat Dolan was just too much in off¬ setting the board crashing of Art Valotto and Randy Scott. The boys found out that Coach Warren had been saving some of his moves for this occasion, but the big surprise was Mr. Summers who showed that he knew how to fit that round ball into that round hole. Well, there will always be another year for the “Medicare Brigade.” 27
