Springtime Metamorphosis Brings Casino For a Night In February, there are few people who start thinking of the upcoming prom in April. With everything, though, there are always exceptions. The exceptions were evi¬ denced by the talented volun¬ teers that planned to convert the gym into Las Vegas. Starting with two days a week they began to build any objects they would be needing. The work soon extended to three days a week and then when the time of the prom grew nearer, school days were used for construction. The work put into decorat¬ ing the gym was overwhelm¬ ing. Each person contributed to every aspect in one way or another. After seeing the ef¬ forts of these students, Mr. Donnell said, “It makes me want to do all I can for them.” Of course, the work could not be done without the supervi¬ sion of teachers. Although su¬ pervising, the teachers were enthusiastic to help with the actual work. Everyone helped someone. Assembly lines were created and as Jackie Joyce said about the production of tissue flowers, “You fluff, we’ll puff.” Staying until late in the night became common for most students and teachers. Many said, “We’re tired,” but with the right attitude, Barry Lawson added, “We’re having a good time.” Many thanks and much ap¬ preciation goes out to this group of students and teachers for the time and talent put into the production of the “Lucky Star.” The reconstruc¬ tion of Las Vegas was unique and well accomplished. From the slot machines to the “Lucky Seven Wedding Chap¬ el,” each will be a fascination of our minds and will definite¬ ly be a happy memory on which to look back. As the days passed, the prom grew cautiously hung curtains for the nearer. Preparations were made with background, the help of David Collins as he After the work, enjoyment comes for all.
