Mark Towers, popular orchestra leader, provided the music. An exceptionally well- prepared menu was served. Several members of the faculty were present. lt was generally felt that the selection of the Park Sheraton was a happy one and that the occasion left many with memories that will last a lifetime. The air of excitement, which could compare fav- orably with night club surroundings, had reached its peak at the Prom! Should old acquaintance be for- got was the understood motto of the Prom. The girls with their handsome, debonaire escorts mingled freely with the faculty present at this momentous affair. 1950 Prom Committee has a last-minute get-together before the record-breaking Prom, fleftto rightl: B.

Several excellent features give it not only a nice tone, but also make it anxiously waited for from time to time. 'l'he outstanding events of the school year are cleverly written up and presented to the stu- dents in a brief but breezy manner. The print- ing job is handled by New City Printing Com- pany of Union City, New Iersey, and it is an offset job. The policy of the paper has been to have the Seniors control the staff with a few Iuniors-in-training ready to take over the next volume. Editor-in-Chief-I. Donahue. Associate Editor-I. Fla- herty.
