UNION ROOM The Union Room was the center of social life at Thornton. There, amid the clatter of dishes from the Co- ed Club kitchenette and clouds of smoke, students met. Some slept, some ate, a few studied, and most carried on weighty discussions on such world-shaking and far- reaching topics as members of the opposite sex, the short- comings of teachers and free love. Dirty cups, traffic, apples in the ashtraygp friendly talk and good friends, this was our Union Room. Those who had most of their classes in the Annexes did not have the opportunity to visit the Union Room, so they made use of the Student Lounge in Annex C. Members of the Co-ed Club washed up dishes in the Kitchenette, operated by a different sorority each month. Carole Fiedler, Mary Ann Vogenthaler, and Margie Zylstra swapped the latest information while oblivious to it all, Al Pallay concentrated on successfully com- pleting his mission: to eat all his barbecue without any casualties.

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.
