EXCALIBUR 1936 On Deck To the soft strains of the music of Dick Crowell and his orchestra the Ship S. S. Prom moved smoothly off on its journey of the evening of May twenty-furth. Cap- tained by George Marsh, Junior president, and his First Mate, Lois Miller, the ship carried many happy passengers. VVith a velvety sky above and the soft glow of stars shedding their light, beautiful ladies in gowns the colors of the rainbow and hand- some swains glided across the floor of the ballroom of the ship. High, spots of the evening featured the welcome by Captain and the response by Richard Wilkinson, vice- president of the Senior guests acting in the absence of Harry Tate, president. The Grand March, led by the Captain and the First Mate, played an important role in the starting of the evening celebration. During the dancing, refreshments were served by the stewardesses on board the ship. The scintillating music and the dancing continued until the stars began to fade. The S. S. Prom put slowly into port and, as the stars began to dim, one by one, we came to the realization that our Junior-Senior prom was ended.
