Sponsors profit from sock hops Crowds of kids dancing til they couldn ' t move filled the gym balconies after foot- ball and basketball games. The phenomenal rise in sockhop attendance raked in funds for clubs and organizations. Reasons for the tremendous pick-up in attendance hardly varied from person to per- son. Most students said sock-hops were fun and a good way to let off steam . Junior Brad Keller said there was usually good music and that the dances provided some- thing to do, a reason to get out of the house . Also, people liked going to an in- formal dance with their friends, not having to spend a great deal of money on clothes and flowers for a date. Besides giving the students something to do, the sockhops brought money to needy clubs. Small organizations which didn ' t have large treasuries were able to realize an average of $1 50 profit.

Prom Juniors import isle of Monaco Juniors worked for eight days to bring the island of Monaco to Valparaiso. Couples attending Prom spent An Eve- ning at Monte Carlo , the famed French gam- bling casino. Entering the gym on a board- walk, couples checked their wraps with the Fru Fru Bunnies and sallied forth for a night of gaming and music. Dim light filtered through cutouts in a black plastic suspended ceiling, which dominated the casino scenery. Dancers refreshed themselves at a bar which featured a champagne fountain. Murals, a revolving mirror globe, and two giant dice in the center of the room completed the mood. Eden Rock provided sounds of Stevie Wonder and other contemporary artists, with one regression to the early ' 60 ' s at the end of the evening. Post Prom at Wellman ' s featured a buffet supper, band, and bowling. ABOVE: Fawn provided the music tor eating and dance during Post Prom at Bridge-VU.
