s SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS JACKIE THOMPSON JAMES GOK KERBY TRAMMELL President Vice-President Secretary SENIOR PARTY lvith Thanksgiving as a theme the Senior Party, black and yellow decorations were seen adorning the Community Theatre where the party was held. Pumpkins and corn stalks added to the needed atmosphere. This affair took place on Saturday night. October 21. Miss McLaurin, Mrs. Lane, and Miss Weatherby attended and kept the seniors in place. Marion Steward, chairman of the refreshment committee, served spaghetti, salad, cake, ice-cream and never-to-be-forgotten-apple cider. r With the Ouija Board keeping the seniors asking questions about the future, there was little need for other entertainment. Old familiar songs were sung by all and dancing to new records was enjoyed. As every good thing must end, the seniors reluctantly and unwillingly departed. SENIOR PROM The Prom! ,lust the name sends ideas of glamour, moonlight, romance, and silvery bids to look back to in sentimental moments. Heavenly gowns and flowers, punch bowls and something to entwine with a perfect evening and orchestra were all part of this highlight. The Claremont Club in Berkeley was the setting for the momentous event on January 27. Bud Stone serenaded with sweet music for the couples who danced on until the very last romantic song. ' Our Prom was made possible through the sale of bids. As all good things must end, the Seniors took home their bids to paste in scrap- books and to look back upon in future years. Fifteen

This event is one to which every student of R. U. H. S. looks forward.

Snapshots were taken of the seniors in their get-ups The 2-12's took over the girls' gym for danc- ing, and a good time was had by all. Sixteen
