Here, l'lurley's declam team is chosen to enter the annual district speech tournament. Three are chosen from each of the following: Serious, Hum- orous, and Oratory.

JUNIOR PROM The class of i954 selected the theme of Candy Land' for their Junior Prom. This spectacle of our iunior year was not only one of the prettiest, but also one of the most profitable of all Hurley High School proms. Let us take a look at the decorations themselves. As we enter the Candy Land,' under an arch of life-savers and cotton candy, we notice the blue and orange lights filtering onto the center of the floor. Along the sides there are huge lollypops, standing seven feet high and three feet in diameter. Overhead we see an impressive ceiling of five beautiful pastel colors. From the ceiling hangsa solid yellow background for the colorful 'Candy Land' scene. The main structure in the scene is the quaint and delicious look- ihg candy house, with its chocolate walls, candy cane corners, and trimmed with odd bits of goodies. From the front of the house leads a color candy walk, and near the opposite side is a rather large, pink gum drop tree, standing in a soft green sawdust lawn. The whole scene is surrounded by a pure white picket fence which encloses a hedge of giant gum drops. As we turn to look at the throne we notice a foamy ice cream soda top- ped with fluffy whipped cream. Seated on the throne of light green candy cups, surrounded by huge pep- permint sticks against a background of pink cotton candy is our king and queen, Jerry Prosek and Jeanne Casanova. The beauty and success of this prom was only brought about by the ex- cellent work and co-operation of the whole iunior class.
