We not - only carried out the tradition of celebrating our first home game, but we also gave a hearty welcome home to Sgt. Harry Brunelle, POW, just returned from Korea. Our traditional snake dance parade was led by our class president, Al Crego and his queen, Jeanette LaVerdure, and their royal court. The parade ended at the old football field where a huge bonfire was ready to consume the dummy, who represented our foe, Ashland, whom we tied the following night, 6-6. With a dance in the gym afterwards, the 1953 Homecoming ended a success. - R. L. Autio -

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.

CHRISTMAS BALL Our Christmas Boll, held this year, among glimmering evergreen boughs, was both beautiful and delightful to see. The decorations consisted of a large Christmgs tree, strewn with shimmering icicles, centered in the middle ofthe floor. Playing on this tree, were spot lights of various hues, adding both color and charm to the scene. Along the sides of the railing were large colored lights, centered among evergreen boughs, which inveiled the gym in a picturesque setting of the Christ- mas season. A large crowd was delightfully entertained by Joe's Talk-a-bouts. - Kathi Allice -
