Thespians produce movie showing aspects of school Members of Drama Club expanded their artistic efforts this year to include the making of a film. The movie was a documentary of school life at Horace Mann. Members used the camera to take scenes of the school as seen by students, building inspectors, and as uninvolved observer. The camera zoomed in on dress fads, pollution and took close-ups of students in action. Editing was com¬ pleted after school ended and members enjoyed the first screening at a sum¬ mer-time party. Chester Elliott draws a stage sign order to make directions clearer. Robert Curtiss holds the wire to the flash attachment as Chester Elliott begins the first day of shooting.

Juniors entertain at prom; use Oriental set in pavilion Juniors decided on the theme “Oriental ’N Jade” for this year’s tradi¬ tional prom. The dance, given on May 7, took place at Marquette Park Pavilion and lasted from 9:00 p.m. to midnight. A post prom party was held from 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 at San Remo’s restaurant. A disappointingly small crowd of 158 couples attended the event which was decorated with crepe paper streamers and window covers bearing cut-outs of construction paper Japanese maidens. Each couple received miniature gold- colored Buddhas as favors. Entertainment was provided by the Soul Messengers. In charge of planning and decorating were Rubin Maldonado, chairman; Tony Bell, Sally Ivankovich, Margie Lozano, Eddie Pagon, Paul Hoskins and Bruce Rhymes.
