P . This year the Prom Committee organized in early October to help. give Memorial the best Senior Prom possible. They succeeded to the fullest. The Prom Committee, under Mike Spitz, our able chairman, organized one of the finest proms ever seen at our school. The Dorothy Quincy Suite was the site, and the music was supplied by Freddie Guerra and his band, who were accompanied by a girl vocalist. Earlier, before the Prom, the true spirit of the Senior Class was shown by the co-opera- tion they gave the committee. The quota of tickets was reached and surpassed in .1 short time, and the committee set to work to hnd the right band, hall, and date, which we did just about in the space of one meeting. Most of the work involved was in decorating and preparing refreshments. May we, the members of the committee. take this opportunity to thank Mr. Bothelo. our adviser for the help he gave to us, and for the troubles he led us through. W'ithout his complete co-operation this lane affair could not have been possible.
