Christmas Ball Stirs Old Memories At the end of a grueling week of semester exams, MHS students un- wound to the beat of the Cambridge Five. The mid-semester dance, spon- sored by the Student Council, is a yearly event at MHS. During the last week of Christmas vacation, MHS students looked for- ward to the Mistletoe Ball, the an- nual Christmas event of the Horizon Club. Old-fashioned evergreen trees- decorated with miniature musical in- struments, cream-colored balls sus- pended from the ceiling, and hurri- cane lamps centering the tables, car- ried out the theme of Memories of Christmases Past. Midnight snacks and exclusive restaurants lured couples from the Indiana Club at midnight. This event gave MHS'ers the op- portunity to meet other area high school students.

Tropical Isle Junior Motif for '68 Prom After searching for a unique prom idea, MHS juniors decided on an island setting. A huge Tiki idol and mountain waterfall transformed the gym to island. Numerous palm trees were scattered through- out the gym. Tables with center- pieces of pineapple and coconuts further carried out the island at- mosphere. Tiki masks and murals accented the walls. Arriving at the Prom from the numerous punch parties and ex- clusive restaurants, the couples forgot the day's hectic attempts to ready the gym and prepare them- selves. Couples took turns tossing coins into the pool and making wishes. Others danced to the Con- tinental's music. For seniors, the night's activities carried through the morning hours as they danced and splashed at the community YMCA. N. -I . 4, Q 4' i x 2 - SS? fc - .
