Roman Banquet 1951 Junior Senior Banquet and Prom Hawaiian Cruise” was the theme of the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom held in the school gymnasium on the evening of Saturday, May 5, 1951. Voyagers embarked on the cruise on the S.S. Okemos, and when they descended the gangplank they were greeted by hula girls dressed in grass skirts. Traditional leis of the sunldssed islands were presented as favors to the guests. They chose native huts, palm trees, fish nets gaily decorated with tropical fish, mermaids, and an erupting volcano to transform the gym into a seashore for the affair. Brightly colored umbrella tables and groupings of bamboo furniture offered secluded rendezvous. The luau was prepared by mothers of the Juniors. Sophomore boys, wearing gay Hawaiian shirts, served the guests seated at tables decorated with miniature hula dancers in a palm and seashell setting. Dinner music was furnished by a quartet from the Norman English studios. Dee McDonald, acting as toastmaster, presented the Junior class president, Larry Bockstahler, who gave the welcome, and in turn the Senior president, Clarence Prentice, who gave the response. Other program numbers included toasts by Ronnie Kohls, Dick Simxak, and Mr. Richards. Dancing to the music of Barney McCardle’s orchestra in the blue light of a Hawaiian moon concluded the evenings festivities. [22]
