Junior Promites!!! Stop—Look—SMILE. JUNIOR PROM The Junior Prom this year was carried out in the usual successful Rose fashion. The gala March 23rd affair took place at the popular Allendale Country Club south of Terre Haute. About 150 couples, including almost all of the 85 seniors and their dates who were admitted free, twisted and waltzed, as well as polkaed and cha-chaed, to music played by Sticks Hildreth and his band. The variation in the atmosphere of the music permitted everyone to manifest his most romantic or his active mood in dancing. The floor was almost con- stantly filled with couples enjoying the rhythm of the band. The theme was “Deep Purple.” The Junior Class chose this as a kind of sarcastic good-bye to the Senior Class. Since the color purple denotes a soberness or a sober at- titude, the juniors felt that this would be an appropriate way to poke good-natured fun at the seniors. The Prom marked the end of the formal social calendar. It was a specially suitable way to end the all-school dance season at Rose. The head table and dignitaries.
