JUNIOR-SENIOR 1959 For the 1959 Junior-Senior, the juniors converted the Country Club into o Mexican hacienda. They made use of the decorations, program, and refresh- ments to take their guests on a gay visit South of the Border. After being greeted by passport offi- cials, the seniors were entertained by a program of skits and music set in a Mexican mood. The seniors presented their class prophecy, their last will and testament, and their superlatives as is traditional. A precedent was broken by the juniors when senior gifts were omitted; instead candy sombreros were given as favors. Music for the occasion was provided by the Five Jays of Raleigh as the juniors and their guests enjoyed dancing in the South of the Border setting.
