56 Activities “Zing Go the Strings of My Heart’ were the words that floated through heads of couples, dancing to the music of “The Embers.” Juniors Entertain Seniors at Gala Dance Formally attired juniors and seniors escorting their dates danced an evening away under Dixieland stars. In a setting suggestive of a modern New Orleans night club, the Embers sounded forth jazz melodies. Led by Mrs. Diane Brewington, sponsor of the Junior Class, and Nancy Schrum, class president, Satur- day night, May 12, the juniors entertained the seniors and faculty at the second prom. Parents served refresh- ing punch and delicious cake in the cafeteria. Junior art students dashed through the halls wear- ing bermudas and covered in paint during the last hectic week of decorating in preparation for the prom. Because of the combined efforts of everyone, the upperclassmen enjoyed a never-to-be-forgotten evening. Members of the Junior and Senior classes enjoy friendly conversation between dances amidst the shadows of a night club setting.

Arthur Clarke Photo Diane Writes Creed to Present to President Kennedy I believe: That the world hangs in space suspended from a chain from Heaven, whose links are made of love, knowledge, and faith. That faith is more powerful than wealth and hope is greater than desire. That goodness will use its heel to grind evil into dust that will be blown from our lands. That love is all God hoped for in man and all else is super- fluous to Hign. That this is the moment that yesterday promised and it must not be wasted by sluggish thought. That the youth of our world look with unshaded eyes upon life and penetrate the veil of hate and sordid greed. That God created gold to inspire clay and the butterfly to lift the eyes of the worm. In immortality because our Creator lighted the torch to burn forever and ever. These things because the whispers from young mouths as mine tell me it 1S 50.
