There were informal and formal dances, elabor- ately decorated and hurriedly put- together dances, organization-spon- sored and class-sponsored dances. One of the highlights of the social season was Crystal Cotillion,” the winter formal, held in January at Madura’s Danceland in Roberts- dale. Mickey Isley provided music for this senior class-sponsored affair. Tropical Paradise” was the theme of this year’s junior-senior prom, sponsored by the junior class. It too was held at Madura’s. In addition, informal dances were held often in the gym or the Civic Center. They included the Home- coming dance; a dance with a calyp- so theme, sponsored by the Biology Club; the Art Club dance, where guests wore masks, and numerous sock-hops.

THE AFTER-PROM party at Vogel’s Restaurant in Robertsdale is a huge success, agree this group. THE HI-LITES, along with Milo Hamilton of Chicago station WIND and other entertainers, did a commendable job at the post-prom party, which lasted from midnight until 3:00 a.m.
