Armed with a real 50's band, ice cream stand, and roller skating waitresses, MORP had all the makings for an authentic 50's dance.

Most stayed until 11:30, and the dance proved to be a huge success for the junior class, raising both money and school spirit. Right: Chris DeCarlo flirts with a b-bopping young bird.
