May 20, 1950, was the most important day in our Junior year. It was the day of the Junior-Senior Prom. Our theme was an Evening In Paris. The Methodist Church dining room was decorated appropriately. The napkins, place cards and the programs had the picture of the Eifel Tower on them and the menus and programs were written in French. The banquet, a ham dinner, was served by the ladies of the church. The program consisted of music played by Janet Amburgey and a solo by Marilyn Reister. Frank Stevens played the part of the toastmaster. Betty Lonnee read the prophecy and Almeta Powell gave the class will. Ron Nokes gave the welcome and John Scholten made the response. Mr. DeHart bid the class a fond farewell. The gym was transformed into a Parisian Evening, with Parisian shops along the sides of the wall, The stage looked like a large French window behind which sat Charlie Bird's orchestra. The Eifel Tower stood in the center of the gym and the false ceiling was hung with colorful balloons. At intermission, Phil Osterhouse tap dancers enter- tained everyone with different dancing feats. So our prom is turned into a wonderful memory. 15
