Seniors delighted in Gardens of Parnassus Mount Parnassus was the legendary home of the Nluses. On the fifteenth of May, however, the Grecian splendor of the Gardens of Parnassus became the setting of the Senior Prom. Amid white columns, fountains, and fragrant flowers, the seniors and their guests danced to the music of George lfverly and his orchestra. The three-tier fountain in the center of die dance floor drew the couples to itg at its edge they wished on pennies tossed into its depths. The seniors refreshed themselves with punch and cake served on the patios where they enjoyed the coolness of the evening. The rings were turned during the traditional ring dance. But time sped on, giving seniors no time to reflect. The Gardens were soon left to the Muses again.

A study of moorls, the Farewell Assembly ez,-okerl both laughter anfl solemnity. As they solemnly filed into the gymnasium, seniors recalled memories so intensely real that they scarcely believed that it could be their last assembly-The Fare- well Assembly of 1965. It was an eyent of many moods, and the assembly invoked many fond recollections. Faye Economas, Class President, welcomed the stu- dent body. Nlemories of their high school years were kindled by the presentation of the class history by Diana llrathulin. 'lihe whimsical humor of the traditional Class Prophecy and Class will helped relieve the mood of sadness. A presentation of awards and scholarships was followed by the Class of 2657s Farewell, a powerful oration given by Susan Hagen. Perhaps the greatest disappointment of the day was the failure of Thomas D'Alesandro III, scheduled guest speaker. to attend. The singing of the Alma Mater was symbolic to the Seniors, for it meant the fulfillment of a dream.
