THE KING AND QUEEN Starlit Hour was the theme of this year ' s Junior Prom and four starht hours were enjoy- ed by 225 couples at the big dance which was held in the gymnasium of the P. J. Jacobs High school on Friday evening, March 29. The decorations in the gym carried out the chosen theme, and as dancers entered they saw on the stage a tall clock tower whose hands pointed to eleven o ' clock. A starlit sky was the background for a penthouse and the New York skyline. Divans, easy chairs, and floor lamps were placed around the edge of the floor. Ted Gay ' s eleven piece orchestra was seat- ed on the stage and formed the proper musi- cal foundation for the affair. This Oshkosh or- chestra selected numbers that helped carry out the Starlit Hour theme. Stationed at the door in order to hand out programs to the prom-goers were little Pauline Vincent, daughter of Superintendent and Mrs. Paul M. Vincent, and Jimmy Ringdahl, son of Coach and Mrs. Harry J. Ringdahl, who pre- sented circular programs of blue and silver. On these was pictured a couple sitting on a new moon up in a starlit sky. At 9:30, two hundred couples gathered for the grand march, the longest in the history of the gym. Auburn-haired, popular Pat Elliott, the Junior class president, led the grand march with pretty Elaine Karner, prominent alumna of Point High. Second in line were Roman Cooper, Senior class president, with Marian Glodoske. Following these were Don Somers, with Olive Hale, and Bill Smith, with Beverly Hoppensted, the boys being Junior and Sen- ior vice-presidents, respectively. PAGE 16
