The moon was winking at us from the ballroom ceiling where it hung midst a shower of stars and gold and white streamers.

The never-forgotten evening was started with a banquet in the dining room. Our Boy Biggy’ prom party. M.C.’ed the post JUNIOR - SENIOR PROM HELD IN SOUTHERN MOONLIT GARDENS The 1957 Junior-Senior Prom was held at the Madison Country Club on May 18. Dinner was served at 6:30 p.m. followed by dancing in the ballroom. The ballroom was very colorfully deco- rated carrying through the theme of a Southern moonlit garden. The back drop was an old plantation surrounded by a flower garden with a stone walk running up to the spacious veranda. The garden scene can be found repro- duced in full color on the liners. King Ed Naughton and Queen Nancy Thompson were crowned and reigned over the festive affair. Dancing contin- ued until midnight. From the Country Club we proceeded to the Elk’s Club in Painsville for a Post Prom Party spon- sored by the P.-T.A. Cleveland Disc Jockey “Big” Wilson served as Master of Ceremonies. Along with “Big” came other fine entertainers. The end of a perfect evening, one which we enjoyed immensely, came with a breakfast at 3:30 a.m., after which we journeyed home, tired but happy.

Mr. Donaldson GUIDES ON THE ROAD OF EDUCATION On our travels through education, as on any other journey, we need guides to show us the right paths. Mr. Donaldson and Mr. Barr are our guides. They have tried to direct us along the road of knowledge, giving us a better educa- tion and a better way of life. Freedom is the foundation of our country, and freedom can be attained only through knowledge. Our principal and superintendent may be compared with the Statue of Liberty, for as she holds the torch of liberty, they hold high the bright torch of education, lighting the way to a better future. Their first thought has been always for our mental welfare and helping us to become better men and women. We sincerely thank these two men for the help, confidence, and knowledge they have given to us, the leaders of tomorrow. 10
