Soma 9cQmQng with loud mewronws April 22, 1957, marked the end of constant activity and busy preparations for the Juniors, and a night of fantasy for the gay but sentimental Seniors of Holstein High. Eight harem girls and servants escorted the guests into the splendor of Kismet.', These honored few were: Nancy Kelley, Nancy Kolb, Marilyn Christiansen, and Faye Janssen, Bob Kelley, Tom Keitges, Donald Butcher, and David Lohff. A refreshing oasis of green grass, slender palms, and a cool, quiet pool greeted us as we passed through an archway of pale greens and browns. Separating it from the desert were large, stately pyramids. At the edge stood a magnificent palace, basking in a splash of sunlight. Aladdin's golden lamp captured the center of the dance floor. Issuing from its spout was a misty vapor reflecting a myriad of colors. Magic carpets carrying their robed masters sailed serenely above. Cratefully we turned to the massive Arabic tent, for here were found cool green punch and a variety of tasty snacks. Veiled slave girls hurried back and forth serving the tired dancers. The dreamy music of the Bob Conley Combo drifted over the swaying couples from 9 until 12:30. Dur- ing intermisson Margene Goettsch and Pat Keitges were crowned Queen and King of the 1957 Prom. To the Juniors the Prom was a climax of a busy year of planning. To the seniors, it was the high point of four long and eventful years. As they drifted away from the glittering lights and gay decorations, each carried treasured memories to add to his chest of Pirate treasures . . . a highlight of H. H. S.

Sylvia Lee and Mabel Crane learn from the I., enterprizing young newspaper columnist, Grant Terry of a plot to murder someone in the hotel. Everyone thinks he is the intended victim.
