A fine job of minute taking and cor- respondence was done by Ethel Fashbaugh, while Walter Henderson served as a competent treasurer. - The grand ballroom of the Knickerbocker Hotel formed a distinctive setting for the Prom. This most unusual room with the vari-colored illuminated glass floor was chosen by Nancy Gregson and her Prom committee. Reminiscences and laughter were prevailing at the class banquet given at Miclcleberrys Florence Barry, chairman of the entertainment committee, arranged for solos by Dorothy Winters and Nancy Story in addition to a reading by Patricia Wolff. Further amusement was shared by the school at the senior assembly, The Wizard of Ooz , produced by Bud Ranz.
