The Seniors dancing by the light of their silvery lighthouse. Se Uo ' 8 zU Eleonor Cwiklinski presents a crown of flowers at the shrine of Mary. Dancing through the misty depths of a nautical kingdom, the Seniors and their dates spent an unfor- gettable evening from nine to twelve o ' clock on Friday, May 24, 1957. Providing the music for this gala event was Louise Hubbard and her band. The scene was set amidst multi-colored fish and sea nets. Comple- menting these decorations were favors of minute lighthouses, sail boats and sea shells which adorned each table. A treasure chest of precious jewels added a sparkling touch to the stage. Viewing the spectacle from her position overlooking the wishing pond was the statue of the Blessed Virgin, enclosed in a grotto of sea shells. The evening was climaxed by the coronation of the King and Queen. As the clock struck twelve the many Cinderellas and their princes regretfully took leave of the rapturous Nautical Nocturne. King Joe Simeri and Queen Eleanor Cwiklinski attracted much attention during the dance of the court. The highlight of aiiy Senior Boll, the coronation of the King and Queen. 17

P ' cauon XO K On May 10, 1957, the class of ' 58 presented its Junior Prom amid the enchanting atmosphere of a Parisian Paradise. Upon arrival couples were met by a Garcon attired in a costume befit- ting the occasion. At the head of the stairs stood the Arc de Triumphe through which all guests passed upon entrance to the dance floor. On stage the Eiffel Tower rose high above the Mickey Isley orchestra which was providing the music. Descending into Cafe Continental, guests were escorted to tables covered by red and white checked tablecloths. In the center of each the flickering flames of the candles danced from their positions atop the champagne bottles. Tiny repli- cas of the Eiffel Tower enclosing perfume bottles served as favors. At eleven o ' clock the crowning of the king and queen took place. After being chosen, Paul Menucci and Nancy Tepe led every- one in the Grand March. Midnight came all too soon for the happy tourists as they regretfully took leave of a wonderful Parisian holiday. Susie Benko, Dennis Van Poppel, Judy Tennyson, and Mike Russo moke their grand appearance for the Parisian Paradise. Nancy Tepe is crowned Queen of the Prom by Class President, Tom Lower.

ecU uc elcuf Under the sponsorship of the Boys Senate, the annual Redskin Relays were held on May 15th, during the afternoon school session. The Juniors soundly de- feated the Seniors by a score of 7 to 32. Three days later, on the second day of the Relays, the Sophomores toppled the Freshmen. The Relays, which were a popular tradition carried over from Central Catholic High, have become equally popular at St. Joseph ' s. The mere fact of escaping three hours of school time, put everyone in a happy mood. With such events as the three-legged race, the Tug-O- War, Softball, and volleyball games. Interest and en- thusiasm ran high all afternoon. The racing eveats were a top attraction, and frequently determined the winner of the events. Softball was the final event of the afternoon. There is little doubt that the Relays ore here to stay and become a real tradition in the school. Vanderbosch defies Russia ' s claim to launching the first satellife. Since when do we wear baseball uniforms for playing volley- ball, Rudy? Bob Ganser is laughing at Kevin Weinberg for wearing old- fashioned trousers when shorts ai ' e more apropos for the event.
