A theme selections and development committee were appointed to plan and order the needed supplies. Three weeks prior to the prom, Mary Tomal began designing the murals, which depicted an African setting Industrious Juniors were confronted with many difficult tasks consisting of converting the stone walls of the Civic to bamboo, forming an old fashioned bucket brigade to fill the pool when a hose couldn't be found, and covering close to 500 stars with tin- foil. The working Juniors were finished at 4:00 Friday afternoon. For the first time in LPHS history, there was a tie in the voting for the 1972 Prom Queen. Marian Watterson and Mary Ann Bean.
