JUNIORS CREATE A NIGHT IN ARABIA TO PRESENT The Steve Belham Orchestra provides music for an enchanting evening. Mrs. Sherfick and Mr. Wright capture the spotlight. I0 By the time April 28 arrived, everyone was at the peak of excitement. Before entering the ballroom, guests were received by the Prom chairman and his date as well as by the presidents of the junior and senior classes and their dates. Each guest was greeted with a welcome and a warm wish for an enjoyable evening. Upon entering the ballroom, the guests were im- mediately surrounded by a most enchanting atmos- phere. Music by the Steve Belmer Orchestra drifted among the swaying couples on the dance floor while serving girls, attired in haram costumes complete with red tops and striped bloomers, passed among them catering to their every wish. The girls comforted the guests as they moved around the dance floor by fanning them with huge palm leaves and offering them trays heaped with delicacies.

EARN MONEY FOR PROM FOOD AND DECORATIONS During a meeting in March, the theme committee selected Arabian Nights as the theme for the 'I967 prom. They then challenged the decoration committee to match their excellent theme idea with an equally excellent prom. The junior class tackled this seem- ingly impossible task under the able direction of Joe Rightley, prom chairman. While some of the iuniors painted murals of mysterious Arabian towns, others hung a ceiling of deep blue crepe paper lit by silver stars. lndustrious iunior boys and girls built striped Arabian tents, one of which was to canopy the king and queen's throne. With the addition of two authentic-looking camels, which dominated one wall, and two huge magic carpets flying overhead, Arabia became real before the eyes of the workers. To add the finishing touches to their Arabian Night , the juniors constructed an oasis complete with palm trees, sand, a small pool, and exotic blossoms. After many months of careful planning, M.H.S. iuniors were prepared to spend a delightful evening in Arabia. Juniors take pride in adding their camels to the prom background.

67 SENIORS WITH AN EVENING GF ENCHANTMENT After dancing, the guests were invited to enioy a meal of delicate finger foods prepared by the Tri Kappa Sorority and elegantly displayed on a huge, white clothed table. Towering over the food was a replica of the Taj Mahal surrounded by garlands of flowers. After filling their plates, guests moved to tables in the hall and the library. Replicas of dancing girls lined the bulletin boards, while flying carpets rested on the tables. Servants passed among the tables with trays of food and drinks, making sure that each guest would have all that he desired. After the meal, guests returned to the ballroom to dance and talk. Everyone anxiously awaited the magical hour when the king and queen would be crowned. At eleven o'clock, Neva Tolloert and Jon Allen were crowned to reign over the festive occasion. A .
