junior senior prom - '49 The juniors and Seniors of Orion High Htiptoed through thc tulipsn May 24, 1949, to the tune of Doc Hunts orchestra from Kewanee. The setting for last year's prom was f'Dutch Frolicf' and the theme was car- ried out even to the place cards. The main attraction in the way of decorations was the live- foot blue and white windmill in the above picture. This windmill was in the center of the floor surrounded by a white picket fence with crowds of gayly colored tulips peeping over the tops. Overhead was a galaxy of silver stars On a false sky of blue, which met side scenery of green and white. Archways were placed here and there brightened by tulips woven into the lattice work. Blue and white crepe paper streamers led to a large archway which was placed at the entrance. A delicious dinner, which had been prepared by the mothers of the juniors, was served to the guests who were seated at tables for six. Each table was centered with a mini- ature blue and white windmill and a pot of colorful tulips. VVaiters and waitresses were in Dutch costume. Recorded dinner music was played softly in the background. Following the dinner, the following program entitled Dutch Talk was given: Flying Dutchman ...............................A......................................,......,..
