LOVELIES AND LADDIES . . . Wayne Cuidry, Myrt Mallett, Janie Bauer, and Wayne Brown stand on the flowered Japanese bridge admiring a cherry blossom tree. A Japanese bridge decorated with many tiny flowers above a pool of blue water captured the misty atmosphere of the Orient. Lanterns and Japanese scrolls hanging from the walls developed the theme of the 1962 Junior-Senior Prom, Sayo- nara. Juniors worked for many weeks planning, pre- paring, and finally presenting the school year's social highlight. While some students attended a show in a down- town theater, couples at the dance moved to the music of Jerry and the Dominoes. After dancing until the magic hour of midnight, couples left the Harvest Club, but the memories of the night lin- gered on in the hearts of all. Prom Carrie' BIDS, PLEASE . . . Mr. Henry Hilgerneier, Junior Class sponsor, takes up bids at the Prom. The couples are Pat Warren and Stephanie Evans, Teddy Parsons and Sharon Rudin, Rodney Ward and Betty Perkins.

Jack Murff, dressed as a Greenie-Dear, poses during rehearsal for the Speech Departments style show. Varied Activities Parading down the street with clanking pots and pans or dancing Wllhe Twist to the music of a local band, Greenies enjoyed their extracurricular activities. South Park was not a school that concentrated on studies alone. It was a school with spirit at pep rallies, and it was the Prom, and making hall decorations. It was Homecoming, Twirp Week, and Graduation. Parkers occupied 'their free time from study with sports, club meetings, parties, dances, tournaments, and assemblies. A year to remember, 1962 placed on the calendar the Coronation and the senior picnic. A male style show with female fashions and a mock Olympics added to the chain of activities of SPHS to make a great school year. FLYING OF THE GREEN! . . . Cheerleaders Merlin Decuir, Barbara Alexander, and Stephanie Evans dec- orate the goal post for a football game. Harrie
