THE WALTZ WE SHALL REMEMBER Left: A SCENE FROM THE PROM Jf. Right: THE ' 49 PROM KING AND QUEEN BEING CROWNED The Homecoming Dance was the first of the season. The Queen, Anne Franko, and many others danced to the music of the Cavaliers. Many couples waltzed through “Winter Wonderland,” which was held on December 3, and sponsored by the Junior Class. Bill Glass- ford and his Orchestra played that evening. December 10, was the date for the Hi-Y Dance, better known as the “Christmas Dance.” Music was furnished by the Cavaliers, and fun was had by all. “Sadie Hawkin’s Dance” sponsored by G. A.A. was held on April 17. The crowning of Li’l Abner and Daisy Mae, who were John Kokinda and Shirley Havard, was the highlight of the evening. The Junior-Senior Prom was held on May 5th at the Marquette Park Pavilion. Everyone attending had a wonderful evening of dancing to the music of Bud Presner and his Orchestra. Friday, Miay 13th, dawned a glorious day for the Juniors and Seniors of Merrillville. The warm spring evening was a beautiful setting for the Prom of ’49, which took place at the Lake Hill Country Club. The beautifully decorated hall included a trellis of make-believe roses and a poster on which the theme “Deep Purple,” was written in silver dust. At approximately 9:30 Sandy Richards and his Orchestra played the grand march and im- mediately following, the King and Queen of last year, Jim Lennertz and Pat Blaze, surrend- ered their crowns to Bill Kimble and Pat Shearer, who reigned as King and Queen for the remaining evening. Now only souvenirs and memories remain of this dance. Another year and another Prom is gone, but how well we remember it. 22
