Warmth and Charm of a Revolutionary Ball A prom? With no money? Impos- sible! These were the cries heard around the school, but the industri- ous juniors saved the day. Careful planning started the prom prepara- tions and The Dance of the 400 made these plans reality. The Scottish Rite ballroom took shape as flowers appeared along with lovely trees and a bench.
