JUNIOR PROM MELODY LANE We enter through a garden of hollyhocks, open the little white picket gate and come upon a lovely fairyland of melody and song. We wander over to the wishing well to wish upon our lucky star. On our way we pass the lovely refreshment stand and quench our thirst. We come upon the orchestra pit, situated behind the picket fence and accented by the silhoueted dancing couple. Under the canopy of blue and white streamers couples dance to the music of the Black Hawks Orchestra. We waltz through a garden of sweet peas and stop to admire the multi- colored ballons in the center of the room. As the evening wears on we feel the need to visit the powder room and find it decorated in pink and white. The orchestra strikes the opening notes of the Grand March and all eyes are turned upon the king, Clarence Colburn, and his lovely queen, Therese Davison. Crowning honors are bestowed upon them by the former king and queen, Bill Barnes and Eloise King. We join in with the couples for the Grand March and dance to the lingering notes of the orchestra. Upon leaving we take one last glance at our Melody Lane and wistfully depart. 36
