Page 20 text:

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

towLiiri 99 aifiS JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Growing Pains, the Junior class play, is a comedy of adolescence. The play, given on December 7, 1939, and directed by Miss Abel, was presented on the stage of the Emer- son school auditorium before a capacity crowd. The play centers around the young son and daughter of Professor and Mrs. Mclntyre, namely George and Terry Mclntyre. George and Terry are just at the age where they are thinking about growing up. Terry stops play- ing ball with the boys and starts to wear high heeled shoes and act more grown up. George and his friends begin to think more about girls. When Prudence, a very fashionable good looking girl who acts much older, comes to town, George and his friend, Brian, have a race to see which one can win Prudence ' s attention. Brian seems to be winning until Prudence tells him she thinks he is young . Then both boys forget her and Brian ' s atten- tion goes back to Terry, who all this time has been making herself miserable over the other girl ' s intrusion. As the play ends, another new girl has just moved to town and the boys again start after her.
