John Coleman and Robbie Stupplo roignod over the 19SS Junior Prom a» king and queen. No sir! On© dance we seniors will never for- get is our Junior Prom. The Garden of Dreams (alias Seafoam Swirl—for some reason that name just didn't sound right!) was held on June 10, 1955. Northmoor Country Club, which was decorated in pastel colors—mostly green, violet and white, provided a beautiful setting for the dance. Henry Brandon and his orchestra played beneath four chandeliers decorated to look like huge crystal and green flowers. It seemed as if our whole class came to help with the decorations on the morning of the prom. Everyone pitched in, eager to make our Junior Prom the best ever. We shall always remember the work and fun before the dance, the crown- ing ol the king and queen, the crowd, the deco- rations, and the fun we had at the parties after the Garden of Dreams. Of ‘jb reams In the Royal court with John and Robbio aro: Ernlo Sanli. Cathy Bjork, Sam Bradt, Carol DeVliog. Susio Walkor. and Jim Hafnor.

October 22, 1955—9 P.M. Where? The Student Auditorium. It all began with the snake dance and pep rally Friday night, October 21, in the school auditorium. After marching through Highland Park carrying banners and singing at the top of their voices, loads of eager HP stu- dents yelled their lungs out at the pep rally. Go, Go, Go, Little Giants! Get that ball and fight! Beat New Trier! Then Saturday night after the game, perhaps a little hoarse from screaming, everyone used up more energy at the dance. The Boys' and Girls' Clubs together were in charge of the dance. A1 Peters and his orchestra provided the music. Though there couldn't be many decorations because of the new build- ing, everyone seemed to have a swell time. Rocognizo the scuds of people? What other dance could this be but the Homecoming!
