HARDWORKING JUNICRS SELL BALLGAME COKES TO The '67 prom was the main concern of the year for M.H.S. juniors. The theme was Arabian Nights and the date, April 28. Preparation for the big night began many months in advance with various money-making proi- ects. During the football season, iuniors worked tediously selling hot chocolate and coffee to frozen fans. Hungry appetites were soon satisfied with hot dogs or candy from the concession stand, which was also operated by the junior class. At the close of the football season, they turned their attention to basket- ball games. The yell of ice cream soon became a familiar phrase of the iuniors. While part of them sold ice cream, others were busy selling candy and cokes as they worked energetically to raise money for the upcoming prom. The iuniors also sponsored the Basketball Homecoming Dance and the Thanksgiving Dance. Each was successful in aiding the prom fund. All iuniors agreed, when they saw the elegance of Prom Night, that their work was more than worth the effort put forth during the school year. Industrious iuniors hurry to complete prom decorations before prom night.
