IUNIOR PR OM On Prom Night, 1966, the gymnasium was transformed into the setting of a Roman Ball. White columns lined the walls, and fountains sparkled around an elegant throne reserved for the Queen. On the small white tables were placed laurel wreaths, party favors, and scrolls inscribed with the theme and the date. The grand march was conducted with flawless precision, thanks to hours of practice conducted by Mrs. Tonella, and each couple was given the oppor- tunity to pose for a souvenir photograph. Hand- shakes and warm smiles were exchanged in the receiving line, and the dancing continued until after midnight. Spectator seats were provided for parents and friends, who observed the selection of the Queen, Daphne Lathrop, and her aides, Dianne Kennedy, Hillary Coan, Nancy Rogers, and Gretchen Locke. The evening ended with most of the couples dining at the Olde Coach Inn, and post-prom parties were held at various private homes.

DIN You'd never believe whois here! Sure we wrote it. ' Fire one tm-pedo! Set in the New York slums, Dino is the mov- ing drama of a friendless, hardbitten young hoodlum who is redeemed by the guidance of his elders and the love of an innocent girl. The play was presented last year to large and respon- sive audiences at the Senior High auditorium. The role of Shirley cast Hilly Coan as the sweet- natured reforming influence, while the title role was played by Mike Benedict. Other interesting character studies included the pert secretary, ably portrayed by Marsha Silva, and Dino's immigrant father, played by Don Vonlderstine. Doug Mac- leod was Dino's brother, who drifted into de- linquency through lack of a good example. Shirley and Dino were misfits who found a com- mon affection which saved them from lives of misery. Although a large part of the cast has since moved away, Dino will remain memorable because of the efforts of cast and crew, super- vised by Miss Abbot and Mr. Baldwin. A motley crew This is the way it is, Dino . . .U
