On April 22, I960 the gym doors opened to an April in !nm -i.rtming'ntlanclng around the floor, we observed a light-TO Tower and a mural of a Paris scene with a stream at the bottom with a bridge extending out of the scene. On the opposite end of the gym was a cafe from which we served punch. The ceiling was made of purple, lavender and pink streamers. The stage where Les Palmer and His Orcherstra played was decorated in pink and green. There was a flower garden in the front of the stage. The Court of Honor entered the gym followed by the King and Queen. The crowning of the King and Queen was done cnthe bridge. The Prom was truly a great success.
