PERSONAL PLANS JUNIOR PROM The Junior Prom's fiftieth anniversary was a howling success. Under the guidance of Mrs. Hodge and Mr. Roberts, Vic Van Valin and Margie Stuart headed the committees that made it such a wonderful dance. The theme for the April event was Blue Lagoon. A coral sea background was high- lighted by palm trees set on a South Sea island of moss, rocks, and flowers. Numerous palms were set along the sides of the big gymnas- ium, and the melodious strains of Danny Holmstrom's Dance Band came floating from a native bamboo hut. Jim Young furnished the beat during inter- mission with a marvelous exhibition of drum- ming. Donna Jensen put the dancers back in the mood with several lovely vocal numbers. Crown Studio focused their cameras on happy couples while refreshing punch was served along the sidelines. SENIOR BALL COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN - Front Row: Mr. Miles, Bob Schoos, Marie Holcomb, Erlayne Petersen, Eleanor Hembd, Carol Baker, Janice Crull, Joy Salvadalena, Miss Fowler, Second Row: Arlen Prentice, Bob McBride, .lack Thompson, Mike Wool- worth, Victor Van Valin, Larry Marsh. ' 1 JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN - Front Row: Dorothy Cummings, Linda Carlson, Margie Murphy, Margie Stuart, Mrs. Hodge, Second Row: Bob Schoos, Ramona Gossett, Marie Hol- comb, Hildur Moller, Erlayne Petersen, Arlen Prentice, Third Row: Larry Marsh, Bob Yoder, George Pettibone, Mike Wool- worth, Victor Van Valin. SENIOR BALL Under the combined efforts of the class of fifty-five, George Gershwin's Rhaposody in Blue came to life with all sparkling brilliance afforded that class in this year's Senior Ball. Larry Marsh, the senior class president, call- ed together the committee chairmen for the first time approximately a month in advance and plans were immediately laid for the gala event. lt was decided that the theme should be carried out in a dream world of blues and sparkling glitter. Music for the dance was furnished by Art Dale's well known band. During intermission, entertainment was supplied by Miss Margaret Haselton who sang two popular songs. Paul DesMarias rendered an excellent monologue giving an interpretation of a confused mayor at a public meeting. Both acts were received well and the complete affair was a huge suc- CGSS.

ERECTING THE THIRD FLOOR I FRONT ROW: Arnold Marler, Ilene Jacobson, Joan Cernich, Dave Stecher, BACK ROW: Mrs. Hodge, Harold Roberts. JUNIOR CLASS With the school year getting under way, the members of the junior class and their ad- visers, Frances Hodge and Hal Roberts, met in the music building to elect their class of- ficers. After a very close election, Dave Stecher was elected president, Arnie Marler vice- president, secretary and treasurer were Bar- bara Wheeler and Joan Cernich. Ilene Jacob- son took over Barbara's duties during the third quarter. As the year rolled on and football season opened for the Panthers, many juniors could be found on the gridiron, such as George Price, Greg McDaniel, Jay Bowerman and Arnie Marler, to name a few. The juniors spon- sored an after-the-game dance during football season. The dance, Indian Summer, was well received. Along with fall and football came the Orthopedic, and as usual the junior class went right to work. After a hard-fought contest, the juniors were in third place. Culmination of long hours spent gathering produce and prac- ticing for the program came on October 31, 1954, when the annual orthopedic program was presented in the big gym. Juniors who took part in this affair were members of the band, choir, folk dancing classes and drill team. With basketball coming, the juniors again came through, placing many men on the team. Tnose who started were Jay Bowerman, Dan Matson and Bob Conley. The juniors were also well represented among the cheerleaders. Ruth Reinke was a song leader for both football and basketball, and Daren Bennett came through for the males by being elected cheerleader for the basket- ball season. With the arrival of spring came the Junior Prom. With Dave Stecher as general chairman, the theme, Carnival in Venice, was decided upon. Colorful decorations featured moonlit canals, graceful gondolas, ancl a marble palace. A representative committee of juniors made the affair a big success. Spring turns a young man's fancy toward thoughts of baseball and the juniors were no exceptions. Among those turning out were Bob Pichler, Laverne English, and Jack Abernathy I V V V O Abernathy, Jack A B .. ... . ' Allen, Harold A 1 C ...., .
