Ball Na . I Junior and senior class officers and their dates line up to lead the Grand March, which is the highlight of the Junior Prom night. The 1960 Prom was the cli- max of months of hard work by junior class committees and class sponsors, Miss Mae Kessing and Mr. Jay Wood. No one who attended “Bali Ha’i” will ever forget danc- ing to the music of Pat De Mure and his fabulous band, or having dinner at Chicago restaurants, and picnicking the next day at the dunes, even though it was raining. Juniors and Seniors agree, “We’ve never attended any party that was more fun.” No matter how you look at it, the Prom was a big suc- cess. Sophomores Leslie Malo and Paula Van Horn serve refreshments to Jean Hoover and Nick Gasparovic as the couple takes a break from dancing. Page Nineteen
