The theme of Harbor Lights was carried out in the programs, orchestra pit, and attractive table decorations. Those who attended danced to the music of The Butler Collegians. At the .left, the Senior Class President, Diane Millspaugh, and her escort, Richard Darnell, talk with the Junior Class President, Lois Stretchberry, and her date, David Allen, at the punch table. I'm sure none of those who attended the dance will ever forget any of the things that happened that evening. Two Senior Class members were married before the prom, and two became engaged later in the evening. Pictured at right, enjoying the dance, are the bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Neff, and their attendants, Phyllis Hendrickson and Lloyd Willis. Mrs. Neff is the former Mary Carroll. Although the prom began at 8:30 and ended at 11:30, I'm sure we all could have danced all night. ,X N1 14 qi td, N' I'

' The afternoon tour consisted of the beautiful, impressive changing of the guard at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington, a brief stop at the Iwo Jima statue, its immense size and reality was very impressiveg next, was Momit Vernon, the home of Washington, There was a very beautiful view overlooking the Potomac. Enroute to Mount Vernon they entered the Church where George Washington and Robert E. Lee worshiped. The Annapolis Hotel was the destination for a tired group of Seniors. After a little rest, they dressed for dinner which was at the Casino Royal nightclub, They all enjoyed the food and the stage show featuring Lillian Briggs. That night at the hotel many things happened, including water bombs, flash bulb pictures, and a LITTLE bit of sleep. Bright and early the next morning they ate breakfast in the hotel dining room, Then they visited the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, the White House and the Archives Building, One of the most remarkable sights was the Lincoln museum fold Ford Theaterl, where Lincoln was assassinated, and the old Peterson home, where he died, After ltmch they made their memorable climb to the top of the Washington monument. The view from the top of the monument was very inspiring.

The next to last stop was the National Gallery of Art, which houses the most expensive art collection in existence.
