HMARDI GRAB IS THEME OF JUNIOR-SENIOR Tables are decorated in royal fashion, for the Mardi Gras Banquet. Here, left to right, Frances Spencer, Mary Brammer, Barbara Chard, Regina Baker, and Barbara Wyatt with her back to the camera, arrange paper orchids for the tables. The traditional Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, a much-looked-forward-to event, was held at the Lynwood Club, on May 6. By far, it was the most gala function of the year. All through the evening, the students gave no thought to the future. NOW was the hour, and there would never be another like it. For the seniors, it was their final prom as high school students . Randy Joyce, co-ordinator of the Banquet, gives the welcome to the senior class as Barbara Chard, Larry Steele, and Susie Merriman listen. Randy Joyce, at the top of a ladder, hangs streamers and balloons while Janet Smith and Mary Ann Shires supervise . With a New Orleans setting, the theme, Mardi Gras, was carried out, using a lavender and white color sceme and decor- ations which displayed imaginative talent by the juniors. Candlelight shadowed the room with ro- matic and mystiiying excitement. Adding to the enchantment of the evening, masks were provided as favors, creating an atmosphere and spirit depicting the Mardi Gras with all its hidden delights.
