JU IOR- E IOR PRO The Junior-Senior Prom of 1957-1958 took place in the LaGrange Senior High gym from 8 to 12 P.lVl. The theme for the occasion was HApril in Parisf' The Con- tinentals provided the music for the eve- ning. The decorations blended in very well with the theme. Paris street scenes cov- ered the east wall and a painting of a couple dancing on a balcony Was on the West Wall, as well as a painting of the Eiffel Tower. Two modern abstract paint- ings, which the Juniors had fun painthig, adorned the south wall. There was much controvelsy as to what the murals repre- sented. Champagne glasses, a top hat, and a cane, all made of tin foil, decorated the north wall. A ceiling, made of strips of crepe paper with silver stars hanging from them added to the atmosphere. A very unique bandstand was made. The tables were arranged in a half-moon pattern and candles in wine bottles provided a roman- tic lighting. A Water fountain was in the center of the floor, which sprayed up water making an arc. Grass and rose buds surrounded the fountain. John lcklone officiated as emcee for the evening. The floor show consisted of pantomimes of ulaittle Richard by Finers Cryer, a ballet routine by Judy Suydam and Dorothy Colletta, a pantomime of Eartha Kittls uC'est Si Bonf' by ,lere Wil- liams, and the accomplished, Judy Graf, played 6'April in Paris, on the piano. The decorations, the band, and the en- tertainment all together helped to make the Prom one that Will long be remem- bered. .wma

RE' U E' DAY The long-awaited day had finally come, April 25, Resume Day, Was here. First, the activities of the year were re-lived as participating members of the faculty told of some important events of the year. Next, the students who had been selected by their classmates as the most repre- sentative in many categories, were presented. The finale of this being the announce- ment of two very lucky people, Mr. and Miss LaGrange. Mary Ashburn was se- lected as Miss LaGrange, while Donald Breaux was elected Mr. LaGrange. Mr. Mims was then presented to announce the dedication of the Resume. Two very surprised, but happy teachers made their Way to the stand to receive their yearbooks. Mrs. Clarence Pruitt, a retired teacher of LaGrange, was one recipient. The other was Mr. E. D. Parrish, long-time teacher of American History at La- Grange. The program ended with a great surpriseg the entire cover of the 1958 Resume was devoted to a gorgeous color photograph of the school. After the program, the students went to their homerooms where they received their yearbooks. The rest of the afternoon was spent in signing Resumes.
