WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN 'Seniors dance night away' On the rainiest night of Memorial Day weekend, the Spanish Ballroom of the Olympic Hotel sheltered approximately 100 couples at Senior Ball. The band was described as being Superb . The eight-piece orchestra, Pacific Northwest Ter- ritory, gave the stage to Artie Cisneros while he took a few minutes to sing the theme song, We've Only J ust Begun . Picture takers found a perfect angle from the balconies sur- rounding the ballroom. Some couples also found the bal- conies to be at a perfect altitude. Dimly lit chandaliers gave enough light for the males to do a fancy new rendition of the two-step , unrestricted by their cumberbuns. There was an indication that most of the girls were Cinderella in disguise- the bewitching hour found the room nearly vacant. Committee chairmen were: publicity, Tom Baptistag refresh- ments, Debbie Dixon, correspondence, Glenda , Hamlin, decorations, Debbie Weaver, programs, Machelle Murdock, tickets, Gary Shumskig entertainment, Sara Reed, Hospital- ity, Pat Raug over-all, Siam Elwonger. 76 Senior Ball
