A 4+-fn' , X f ,EQ-L Last Prom For Seniors Brings Happy Moments, Lifelong Memories 1 2 as Candlelight was the only illumination except the lights on the band and an occassional flash from the photographers camera as long dresses swirled and swayed to the beat of the music which was provided by Lotus. Although turnout was small for the Senior Prom, the dance floor was crowded with moving bodies on the second floor of the Midian Shrine Temple. Not only was it crowded, but the floor literally shook from the dancing feet. Girls in halter, lacey, and strapless dresses were escorted by guys in three-piece suits and tuxedos. Corsages and bouton- nieres to match adorned the garments with blue, yellow, red and white being the predominant colors. One couple, Mau Livingston and Sherry Gamble, set their own style as both came in matching black tuxes. X 4 1

Mrs. Cubbage joined in to learn the Continental, a new dance introduced by a few students, and everybody joined in for the popular Bus Stop line. For once there was no royalty, but the prom did not suffer without a king and queen, instead it was the night for Seniors to reign. Portraits were available and were taken by Student Photo photographer, Steve Roush, who also took the candid shots. Appropriately, the last dance was a long, slow one. It was a chance to give aching feet a rest as well as a chance to reflect over the year, kiss one's date and let the magic of the prom last a little longer. s, . I 1.
