Nine Years Ago The Junior Prom of the Class of 1922 of the Maynard High School,, held in Colonial Hall, was the brilliant,, social affair of the season. The gayly decorated hall, the beautiful gowns of the ladies, and the evening apparel of the gentlemen all contributed to make a bright and merry party. Sev- eral new features were introduced in the decorations. An Italian Arbor was one of the colorful decorations and seated in it were the Matrons, Mrs. H. F. Bates, Mrs. Eli Gruber, Mrs. Morris Herbert and Mrs. Michael Mullin. The Grand March was led by John Driscoll, President and Mary Vodok- lys. Francis Coughlin was Floor Marshal. The Junior Class Committees were deserving of the commendations heard for the success of the Prom. Nettie Gruber, ’32.
