i 4 Page 23 Members of the Court and their escorts began the traditional dance following the coronation of the Sweetheart. STAGGETTE Shakespeare's words best described the scene and its awaited moment, Now comes in the sweet o’ the night as the Sweetheart of the Staggette was crowned amidst her court. The date was the sixth of April and the occasion, “Twi-light Nocturne,” the twenty-second annual Co-ed Club Staggette. Adding to the excitement of the evening were the music of Don Fernado and the white marbled room ornately decorated with gold and luxurious red drapery. This was the palacial Louis XVI Room of the Shoreland Hotel. Dancing couples filled the ballroom floor both before and after the highlight of the evening, the crowning of the Sweetheart. Departing from her throne, she led her court and their proud escorts into the light traditional dance.

PROM June second, nineteen hundred and fifty-six, wcs the date of our Junior College Prom. This bright event was held in the Tower Room of the Conrad Hilton Hotel. Adequately chosen was the theme of the evening, “Stairway to the Stars.’ Apro- pos of this, each bid had a crystal-like star at the top of a silver stairway, super-imposed on a bluish background. Students and their dates, in tuxedos and formals, danced under soft lights to the dreamy music of Mike Sullivan and his orchestra. “Stairway to the Stars’’ was sponsored by the Student Council.
