Piom “Isle of Paradise,” theme of the beautiful Junior-Senior Prom, was pre- sented on the evening of May 6, 1960 at the Clara Peterson School. Music for the gala event was provided by Wayne Karr and his Orchestra, and Bill Morrison and a professional enter- tainer performed during the intermis- sion. The gym was transformed into an exotic, tropical island with a blue pool sprinkled with water lilies and a false ceiling of lavender. One entire wall was covered with tropical flowers of gay colors, and palm trees placed around the room completed the decor- ations. Seniors Larry Noble and Michele Kessler reigned as king and queen of the event. All those attend- ing the prom agreed that it was a tremendous success and would long be remembered as the highlight of the school year.
