“La Playa Dorada” Junior Prom theme Judging by attendance, the Junior Prom, May 1 at the senior high school, was a success; in attendance were 97 couples and over 200 spectators. The theme was La Playa Dorada, or The Golden Beach,” played out in decorations with a seaside, a lighthouse, sand castles, boats, and murals of the sea. To show their appreciation of the artwork, the junior class gave Scott Mercer, the decorating chairman, a gift which he could use for working on future art projects. The band at Prom was “Chapter 5,” and the post-Prom group was “Tag-a-Longs.” The class took in $994.00 for both couple and spectator tickets. Miss Turner, who helped advise the group, had this to say: “This is the hardest working bunch of juniors I’ve ever seen.” (Top) As King and Queen, Tim Rue and Jean Schweitzer enjoy the royal dance before going to post-Prom. held at the Meadow Springs Golf Club.

20 Organizations ORGANIZATIONS Three organizations: FBLA, FFA, and AFS, enjoyed a tremendous increase in membership during the year. Two things contributed to the success of these student groups. The members of these clubs established and followed through a plan of work which set goals for the upcoming year. These goals were of benefit to the membership and their community. One of these accomplishments was the FBLA Bowl-a-thon. Mr. Carpenter, one of the club’s advisers, explained, “The Bowl-a-thon is a service event in which the proceeds go to the March of Dimes to prevent birth defects. Because of increased membership, the clubs raised much money for competitive events, banquets, field trips, and conferences. The officers, chairpersons, and members attended meetings regularly to follow up on planned projects. One junior remarked, “The members worked very well in planning many events last year.” These clubs had one other advantage for their successes. They were aided by advisers who were willing to spend much time with them to make the year worthwhile. Practicing, Kathy Schneider and Carla Crosby (top) blend their voices in harmony.
