An Evening In Paris The annual Junior-Senior Prom was held in the South Lebanon High School Gym on the night of April 23, 1955. The affair, given in honor of the Seniors, was highlighted with a welcome speech directed to the Sen- iors by the Junior class president, Carl Arnold. The theme chosen for the Prom was an Evening in Paris. The gym was appropriately decorated with palms and side-walk cafes with green and white awnings and ivy walls. The object attracting the most attention and producing the greatest effect in the setting was the huge Eiffel Tower constructed in the center of the floor. Blue star-lit paper streamers attached to the top of the tower waved across the gym, in imitation of a Paris sky. Soft, moving lights, and subdued music granted additional excitement and a foreign atmosphere.
