IUNIOR-SENIOR PROM MAY 1953 One of the most important events in our lives as juniors, was the junior-Senior Prom, given May 8, 1953. This affair was open to the juniors and seniors, along with their guests, and faculty members. The evening started off with a lovely banquet served by the juniors' mothers and the home economics students, in the basement of the Methodist Church. The tables were decorated beautifully with spring flowers and strands of purple crepe paper-Oops! I almost gave the theme away when the color was mentioned. On to the meall VVe couldn't wait to taste the food, and such food - luscious Swiss steak, surrounded by escalloped potatoes and com. Be- fore us lay a fruit salad, plus rolls smothered in butter. We must have looked extra hungry that night for the dessert was then brought in- huge pieces of cherry pie. Does it all sound delicious? Well, I can tell you, it wasl After our appetites had at last been curbed, the program began. Miss Stauffer gave the invocation and this was followed by the welcome given by junior class president, Io-Ann Pargeon. The response was made by Don McClure, the senior class vice president. A quartet of junior girls sang the peppy tune, june Is Bustin' Out All Overn, and everyone settled back in a more relaxed position. Mr. Sproul gave the faculty response that offered good advice to all students present. Everyone felt in the mood for dancing but had to wait until nine o'clock. Should we, or should we not tell our theme? We decided to wait until Hank Am1entrout's band played our theme song for the grand march. As our guests stepped out on the dance floor, they held their breath for the beauty which they beheld, the ceiling and walls were made of purple crepe paper and in the middle of the floor was a fountain that continued to spray water the entire evening. Behind the fountain was a white picket fence with clusters of wisteria hanging on it. Lat- tice works, with these same flowers, was connected to the fence, and served as a means of entering the dance floor. As the beautiful strains of Deep Purple' floated across the room, it wasn't hard to realize what the theme was. The room was truly decorated in keeping with Deep Purple , anywhere from a sleepy garden wall to stars begin to twinkle in the skies. This was an evening that is remembered by all those who participated in it, an evening that is classified by both juniors and seniors as the most unforgetable evening in their memory of high school events. -24-
