Our Junior rom l l I l I. ll i . l l l The Grand March -Important Juniors Amid swaying palm trees, a tropical sunset, and a vibrant sky, the curtain opened on May 22, 1953, unfolding one of the most delightful evenings of our high school years-our Junior Prom. Dressed in lovely pastel gowns and spotless dinner jackets, the young couples formed a deli- cate pattern as they danced from 9:00 to 1:00 to the rhythmic music of Ted Goddardls orchestra. Do you remember the bustling activity and the fun we had preparing it, classmates? Re- member those numerous class meetings. and the arguments pro and con? Remember when we decorated the hall, the demolishment, then the patient rebuilding? However, a beautiful tropical sunset emerged in just three days. Triumphantly, but a bit wearily, we surveyed the final effect for the gala event, convinced that this party was one of the most unusual in the history of the school. The South Sea arrangement was an in- teresting medley of shimmering silver water, fuming volcanoes, mangoes, bananas, pineapples, parrots, clusters of hibiscus blossoms and even a thatched hut for the orchestra. Every member of the class deserves special recognition for a job well done. Our competent ticket sellers handled business affairs: the coat- checking stand boomed at 9:00 P. M. Our punch was enjoyed by everyone and served from an appropriately decorated refreshment stand cen- tered in the hall. A Memorable Night-Strictly Formal celebrities

Czicgen-fqe upper Our Waiters- For we are jolly good fellows One day the realization suddenly dawned upon an astonished Senior class that the treasury had sunk to alarming depths and that the class trip was very near-and promising to be very ex- pensive. With typical impetuousness we decided to put on a chicken pie supper, set a date of March 23, appointed a committee and hence- forth set about trying to forget about it until the last possible minute. Unfortunately, or fortunately, we had appoint- ed virtual slave drivers in the big four group: Yvette LaCroix, Rhoda Downing, Roberta Corey and Irene Finn, who had charge of the general supervision and planning of the supper. Advance posters were made by students headed by the team of David Colby and David Lewis, tickets were printed, distributed, and sold by Heagerl' Seniors, under the watchful eye of Patti Clarke and Dorothea Lewis, and donations, food, and other details were attended to by the foursome mentioned above. Came the big night, March 23, and the ele- mentary school opened its doors to a record attendance of dubious but hopeful townspeople and now enthusiastic seniors who donated their services and charm to make the evening a success. For two days Mrs. Kinne, Mrs. Fitch, and Mrs. Kane, assisted greatly by Betty Dicker- man, one of ours', had worked preparing our delicious menu, which included chicken pie, mashed potatoes, vegetables, salads, hot rolls, coffee or milk, and pie. The salads and pies were made through the greatly-appreciated efforts of fond parents who were willing to make the sacrifice-since having bought tickets fall did, you know, they must eat the food. Howard Haley and Nick Craigie were also of invaluable service in planning and carrying out our supper. The efforts of poor, patient Mr. Morris speak for themselves in the perfect attendance of the Seniors and the very fact that we had a supper at all. To these people, for their untiring efforts and the goodness that led them to refuse any material recompense, we can only extend our sincerest thanks. When the last customer of the three hundred who came had cast a final lingering look at his empty plate and departed, forty-one weary Sen- iors modestly admitted that there had never been and would never be a Chicken Pie supper to equal ours-but gracefully conceded that one was sufficient. Is everyone satisfied? -30-
