' A 1960 PROM COURT-Janice Metz and Phil Lackey, Cindy Mullen and Doug Lackey, Trudy Haley and Ted Honey. 1960 PRONFS THEME WAS MHARBOR LIGHTSQQ Harbor Lights seemed to be an excellent choice for the theme of the 1960 Junior and Senior Prom, for the Paul Cross Gym was trans- formed into a waterside night club. Topping off the festive atmosphere, which made the dance a memorable occasion for all those who attended, was the Gary Miller Orchestra which provided music from 9:00 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. on the night of May 13. Credit for the Prom itself went appropriately to the sponsors, the class officers, and members of the Prom committees -- all of whom contri- buted tremendously to its success. The high light of the dance was, of course, the crowning of the queen by the junior class pres- ident, Dick Schoelchg as a result, the night club patrons awaited the announcement of the selection of the queen with tense expectations. Cindy Mullen, one of the three candidates elected to the court by votes of the junior boys, was escorted by Doug Lackey. Cindy was a member of G. A. A. and of Home Economics Club, and an S. H. S. yell leader. The second yell leader on the court was Jan- ice Metz, whose date for the evening was Phil Lackey. Janice worked actively in Booster Club, G. A. A., Future Teachers Club, Forum, and Sunshine Society. Trudy Haley was escorted by Ted Honey, like the other girls on the court, Trudy also participated in extracurricular activities. Trudy has served as president of the Sopho- more Sunshine Society, secretary of G. A. A., and a member of Forum and of Booster Club. After the Prom, the upperclassmen scurried to the Elks Club for the annual Post-Prom Party, which was held until the wee hours of the morning. This party was planned, spon- sored, and organized by civic service clubs and sororities. In addition to entertainment, free food and soft drinks were provided for all. This was a fitting climax to a wonderful eve- ning. 19
