IUNIOR AND SENIOR PROM The junior and senior prom date was set for May 12, 1950. The hustling and bustling of juniors was evident all over Ottawa Pub- lic. The secret of the prom was hard to keep, because the seniors were very interested. But somehow the juniors managed to keep it. The night arrived. A warm, balmy, happy- go-luckyv night. At 6:30 P.M. the guests be- gan arriving at the Eagles Hall where the ban- quet was to be held. At first we could not be- lieve our eyes, the tables were so beautiful. The little silver ladies in the middle of each table were the most striking of all. Gradually our eyes wandered to the nut cups and name cards. It certainly took a lot of team work to get everything ready. Everyone finally found his named place. A hush came over the room. We couldn't figure out what was wrong until we saw the waitresses bringing in the food, and such food-a luscious steak with mashed potatoes, gravy, and peas surrounding it! OH! Were our mouths watering? Besides this, relish plates, salad plates, and biscuits with butter were on the table before us. You or I might have thought this to be a full meal, but the juniors didn,t think so. Besides that which has already' been named, we had ice cream and cake. We were so full we could hardly keep awake. Stomachs were filled, everyone felt ready for an evening of dancing. The seniors were still wondering what the junior theme was. It didn't do any good to wonder because the program began as per usual. Miss Thrapp, the juniors' honored guest, gave the invoca- tion. After this the junior class president, johnny Schimmoller gave the welcome, this was followed by a piano solo by Mary Io Smith. The senior class president, Carolyn Frey, then gave her response. A vocal solo by Sally Pierman accompanied by janet Now followed. The program ended with a faculty response from Mr. Wheaton, and two fine numbers were presented by the Miss Chords On to the dance-just what the seniors were waiting for. Finally they would find out what the junior theme was. The grand march took place while the band played Some Enchanted Eveningv. The scene was simply beautiful. We found ourselves in a lovely garden filled with various types of flowers. A little stream was trickling through one corner of the gar- den with a bridge at either end. A brick wall seperated the dance floor from the tables which were placed at the west end of the garden. The sky was made of crepe paper streamers spangled with silver stars. Stream- ers closed the garden off from the rest of the building. On each table there were lavender petunias which were very attractive. The food from the banquet must have di- gested by now, for the crowd seemed to be drifting toward a small table filled with snacks. There we could see sandwiches, po- tato chips, relish dishes, and punch. The punch seemed to be a favorite with the crowd, for every once in a while I saw a junior run- ning after some more. At 12:00 P.M. it all ended, as quickly as it had begun. The evening had passed so fast that we couldn't believe it was all over. ,Twas a nice prom, juniors, and we appre- ciate the work you put in to offer it. So the seniors of 1950 say good-by to high school prom life. -22-
