TROPICA v y JUNIOR PROM This is our WORK committee???? These are palm leaves? Non-union. The night of April 27th will long be remembered as the occasion upon which the University gymnasium took on the appearance of the South Sea Isles as 'iTropicana, our Junior Prom, was presented. Amidst tropical settings and decor- ative palm trees, some 250 couples danced to the continuous music of Dick Kontrimas and his orchestra. The theme, Tropicana, was cre- ated by the effective combination of multicolored lights, silhouetted palms and unique tropical foliage. All the credit for the unusual atmosphere is due to the work and ideas of Gene Spadaccini and his committee whose carloads of lumber, crepe paper, artifi- cial palm leaves and straight pinswere a common sight during those last weeks of preparation.

The music provided by our popular campus orchestra continued uninter- rupted to augment the already estab- lished atmosphere. -Occasional vocals by the popular Karen Wood added to the evening's festivities. Time passed so swittly thatit seemed we had hardly had an opportunity to sit back and enjoy the evening when it was time to select our Queen of Tropi- cana. Lovely Ellen Watson, escorted by Johnny Hanlon, was chosen queen from among those present. Awards including an original Elaine Hutton creation were presented to the queen, along with jewelry for her attendants and their escorts. A committee of the tacultyjmade the usually arduous task an easy and freely flowing selection. The work of co-chairmen Ray Meany and Ray Rohne certainly went rewarded, as was evidenced by the long talked-ot experiences of one night of tropical splendor. The enjoyment and excitement tar behind, we have truly established Tropicana as a once in a lifetime occurrence-one we will never forget. T - , Ti1 1
