UNIOR-SENIOR PROM-BAN UET Y V M N-waa....aW .,., ra MEMORY A PLANTATION On the eveningh of May 29, 1952, our awaited plans for the Junior -Senior Prom-Banquet came true. The chosen theme was at of a MEMORY PLANTATION which could well be interpreted as such throughout the evenmg. Our Banquet included decorations which were very appropriate---featuring a Southern menu, served by waiters and waitresses who were dressed to fit the occasion. The Prom was a plan based on the Old South which is something we will never forget. After much time and work, the gym brought forth the dream of a Southern mansion. The true furnishings of the lawn furniture, grass, many kinds of flowers, trees, and our Southern home in- vited and gave us a most enjoyable and memorable evening as the guests of MEMORY PLANTATION . The orchestra of Tom Zaloras provided excellent dancing music throughout the evening of the Prom.
