 The Circus performed on the stage of the R J. Tack Auditorium. Rock sounds filled the gymnasium to the hilt. A few kids are seen dancing; the majority just sat around and grooved in the new kind of prom. Rock Dance Is Held in Lieu of Prom Until this year it was traditional for the juniors to sponsor an elab- orate prom in the spring. However, this year it was decided that a teen dance would be more profitable and more applicable for the times. A dance featuring The Circus” (formerly Sound Street ) was held and various Rock tunes were per- formed. Those who attended seemed to enjoy every minute of it. • “ '1 Performance of The Circus 26
