Junior cProm . . . The air was filled with the gay laugh- ter, the swish of taffeta and the heady fragrance of corsages at the Junior Prom, held on Friday, May 3. An archway en- twined with roses led into a Southern Colonial garden. Looking past trellises, hanging thick with clusters of pink, lilac, yellow, and blue flowers, one saw a white, Inige-columed veranda reaching out in state- ly welcome. Seated on the veranda was Hob M ’ton's orchestra. Pastel streamers hung overhead and ribbon? of light, pro- jected downward, produced intricate shadow patterns on the waxed floor. Fruit punch was served at an old colonial wishing well on one side of the room. The grand march was led by Stephen Mush and Mary Ann Danielson followed by Elizabeth W illiamson and Robert Engehret- son. Stephen Bush, the general chairman. Mr. 11 citing, adviser, the committee chairman Cerard McMahon. Ward Stevenson, John Nelson. Warren Otterson, Rita McMahon, a id Howard Cox. as well as the entire junior class deserve credit for making this prom a memorable occasion for the large crowd of students and alumni who attend- ed it. 23

Well, here it is ten years hence; and vtfc’re having a joyous reunion all right! The site for this gala celebration is the new community hall which ha been construct- ed under the supervision and management of “Tucker” O’Connell. It is interesting to note that Tom was recently called to court on bigamy charges It has been rumored that he is considering entering a partnership with an old class mate. George Richie, who has also eon his time Li court for cheating in pinochle. Everyone seems to be having a good time as far ai the eve can see. but how far can the eye see?—Especially when it’s .Tack Ca°h- man patrolling the boat!

Speaking of school. Kathleen Hallenberger and Elaine Gibbon are bidding for the position of office girl at the high school. Refreshments for this gala event have been provided by Bonnie Heckel, who has inherited the soda pop business from her father. A sad note added to our reunion is the absence of Bob DeWitte and Marie, who have been obliged to ctay home caring for all the little “Killers”—who show promising futures as boxers, touchdown experts, and theater goers. Helen Sveen, Roxana Kruse, and Kathryn Nelson, joint owners of the Nelson Pool Hall, just creeched up to the front door in Helen’s Chewy, and started madly on their search of that still unobtainable commodity—men! ! Pat Ferguson, who has taken the place of Jimmy Durante and Red Skelton, will in- troduce the speaker of the evening. Jack Cornelissen, who will give a short talk on how he reached the pinnacle of fame as a second Arthur Murray.

Irene Hillary, Betty June Johnson, Marijane Lyksett, and Laurel Harwell, who are now conversing with Con- over model, Beverly Lund. It i? reported that Catherine Peterson is the designer of Miss Lund’s attire. Who else could answer to the signature of all the designs—F.A.T.S.? Doris Hart is carrying on in her capacity as waitress—“one ham on rye—cornin’ up ! Gretchen Luebke is another member miss- ing today. She married a prince of India, and is now living just outside of Bombay. It is reported that he wouldn’t let her out of chains long enough to attend.
