PROM HE Winter wonflerlancl of softly falling snow, the hasty last-minute details for that never-to-be-forgotten appearance which is a must, instillecl in us a magical feeling of unreality. For many, the transportation which hall been provirlecl to compensate for the atlverse clriving conditions was a catalyst for laughter, singing, and gaiety which were the earmarks of the Prom. The blissful, scintillating smiles, the swish of taffeta anfl crinoline evolving a mystical multi-coloration, createfl the unforgettable atmosphere of our prom. The soft music of Bill Coleman's orchestra provirlerl an en- chanting evening of entertainment. At 12:00 o'cloek the long-awaitefl dinner was serveel amid joyful exclamations at the finesse with which the repast was serverl. The miniature flrapes anfl the large picture windows, through which the snow-blanketetl lanclscape and the pale blue-green lights of the Tappan Zee bridge could be seen, and the softly illuminefl, spacious ballroom to the frothing fountain as a centerpiece sur- passerl even the most aesthetic taste.
