Three Junlors had the dlstlnct honor of belng elected to the Natlonal Honor Socxety Nancy Ben nett Sandra Smlth and Judy D1ckson A sprmg comes so comes the prom at least at Rowe and as usual the Junlors were quite exclted about th1s gala event We chose Fantasyland as our theme You can xmaglne the chaos that was caused when we trled to hlde Donald Duck and Mlckey Mouse from the ever 1nqu1r1ng semors By the end of th1s hectlc week we and Mrs Lynch too were on the verge of a nervous breakdown but somehow all managed to pull through and to en Joy the evenmg The coronatlon of the klng and
