Throughout our sophomore year, we entered wholeheartedly into the social life of the school, especially the record hops and dances sponsored by the senior class. Such a one was the Christmas dance of '59 with its “Winter Wonder- land” theme and everything so silvery white in decoration. A terrific blizzard raging all day made it seem for a while that the dance would be called off, but in spite of this a record crowd packed the school auditorium. PTA mothers were also on hand in the gym with tables laden with delicious dainties. Some sophomores also attended the senior prom held in the school auditorium on the evening of May 20. This event had for its theme “When We're Young.” The newly renovated hall was made more beautiful by the delicacy and simplicity of the artistic decorations. Denise Plette, Sandra Frye, and Joyce Hurtubise, with their escorts, on line at the refreshment tables set up in the gym. In the forefront, Cecile Moyen and Mary Mullen dance with their partners. Richard Blouin helps in the success of the prom by checking.
