Couples Enjoy Evening Of Fancy Dress Couples in their most formal attire whirled and danced as the night seemed to emphasize one phrase of this year's theme. Live for To- day. Decorations provided a romantic backdrop and Zeal provided the music. Sponsored annually by the Junior Class, the event is always sure to provide a fashion parade of the latest gowns and evening wear for young men and women. Every color of the rainbow could be seen catching the light as tuxe- doed young men spun their dates around the dance floor. Because lines for photographs were long, many couples arrived early and then went out to dinner before re- turning to the dance. At midnight the dancing stopped and the next morning the young people had returned to their more familiar attire of jeans and shirts. LEFT: Senior.
