The Junior class played host to the Seniors on Saturday, April 29, 1961 for the annual Junior- Seniors Prom, The godmother waved her wand over the new Moose Lodge and it became the scenesior 'April an Paris. ’ Lhe Eiffel Tower rose with dignity in the background, and at her feet couples danced on the banks of the Seine or sat at their leisure in the shade of the sidewalk cafes. In either case the Toby Mason Combo provided dreamy music throughout the evening, The prom was a success in every way; how- ever, it left a variety of emotions.

'Mountain Gal unified the Class of '61 and made each member feel as though he belonged to a worth- while body. It became quite usual to hear such statements as What's going to happen to Deedee? and I just can't stand that Maria!'' coming from all the Seniors, Everyone took a genuine interest in the outcome of Deedee, a sweet orphan girl, who had come to live at the Lindsay farm in the Ozark Mountains, Through many, many hours of practice, through hours of depression, through hours of patience from Miss Swaringen, and through hours of working together, Mountain Gal was ready for the stage.
