SENKJK BALL Picture students clad in gayly colored gowns a- gainst dark suits in a dimly lighted garden, gracefully dancing to the strains of beautiful music. Enclosing the garden were mountains on the North side behind a built-up orchestra pit on the bleachers. Shrubbery and garden plants banked garden chairs where spectators sat. On the East side was the Princess' throne, with a huge outdoor fireplace in the corner, A hedge and white picket fence set off the green grass in front of the throne. In the South, a stucco, Southern styled mansion was banked by green trees. The picket fence again gave the effect of dancing on a terraced garden. On the West side, lattice work with colorful flow- ers completely enclosed the punch stand and the fence and hedge, enclosing the garden. In the center of the floor was built a very real- istic rock garden poolgs Garden chairs were found in corners for couples who wished to watch the scene un- folding before them. Dancing began at 9:00 o'clock on April 1, l959a The Grand March was led by Oscar Boswell and Joan McCoy. Following the Grand March was the crowning of Princess June I by Mrr Phillips.
