“Wonderland By Night” — Juniors’ Gift to One of the highlights of the Wonderland by Night is the crowning of the king and queen. Attendants to queen Martha Reed Ennis and king Mike Yearwood are Lettie Livengood and Jimmy Crockett. Mr. Mitchem crowns the queen and presents the court with their gifts. As a sign of their appreciation for his dedicated service, the juniors present Mr. Mitchem with a gift. Seniors Jiffy Brittingham and Bob Flowers dance to the slow songs played by the Jet Rollos in the boys ' gym. Those desiring music with a faster beat spent their evening in the girls ' gym dancing to the sounds of the Stompers. Both gyms, having new faces of purple, blue, and gold and populated with beautiful dresses, flowers, and immaculate tuxs, sparkled for the occasion. New hairdos, dresses, tuxs of all colors, and smiling faces greet the assistant principals as they collect the bids, the only passport of admission, from the excited students. Junior Steve Halliday, Seniors Joan Whitaker, and Larry Bobo anxiously await admission into the gym. The first glimpse of the gym is breath-taking, for the transition is amazing. 28
