Prom Affords Moments to Remember Couples dance cheek-to-cheek in the romantic atmosphere of the year ' s only formal which was the Prom “Moments to Remember,” held at St. Thomas More Hall. Being served at the After-Prom Party which was held at the Woodmar Country Club are Robert Rosinski, Dianne Weedon, and Donald Sharpe. The party provided food and entertainment for students after the prom. Whirling and Swirling in a dream world, students looked from the climax of all social activities back on the events of the past year. Crepe paper and spot-lights transformed the hall into the ballroom for the 1962 Prom held on ' May 26. While the band provided soft dancing music, couples drifted to the dance floor, sipped punch from dainty cups, chatted with all their friends, or just .sat back and tried to capture the entire scene in ' their mem¬ ories. The Junior-Senior Prom was sponsored by the juniors in honor of the year ' s graduating class and was attended By only upperclassmen, graduates, and faculty members. Page Eighteen

Expressing surprise at the Can¬ nibal (Vernon Arnold) bringing a shrunken head to contribute is the narrator of the assembly Jack Harris, while Villian (Byron Gre¬ gory) looks on. People represent¬ ing the different walks of life each brought something for Kim Chun Yung and then collected money from the audience. Charity Counts with Morton Students Looking healthy and happy, Kim Chun Yung admires the Christmas present, a snowsuit which was sent to him by MHS foster parents. Supporting Korean War orphan Kim Chun Yung and collecting canned goods for the Thanksgiving Hi-Y baskets were two of the charitable projects that the Morton student body undertook this year. Adopting Kim was originally the idea of the Historical Club which sponsored the money raising campaign for Kim’s upkeep. Last year’s seniors be¬ gan the tradition of passing the parentship of Kim on to the graduating class of the next year. The students responded enthusiastically to the Hi-Y Club’s request to contribute canned goods for several less fortunate families at Thanksgiving. UOO cans! Gene Sankowski, George Berbeco, and Sondra Gallimore helped the 12As collect the most canned goods for Hi-Y baskets. • 12 A ] iftWMGWBCl DON r OHS
