As an “Enchanted Evening” came to a close, prom- goers gather for the Grand March. UneSoiree Enchante” Highlights On the evening of May 21, 1965, the Junior-Senior Prom, “line Soiree En- chante,” was held. This year the site was the Del Prado Hotel in Chicago. Cleverly decorated bird cages with scattered daisies were chosen as center- pieces for each table. Necklace charms were the favors that served as re- membrances. Couples dreamily danced to the strains of the soft music and were later entertained by the Del Prado dan- cers. After concluding the evening with hit musicals of Broadway, prom-goers truly believed in ‘one enchanted evening.” After the completion of a successful Jr.-Sr. Prom, class officers Jim Hora, senior president, and Dwight Jones, junior president, along with their dates, Paula Blastick and Helen Kubeck, pause to look over their hard work and efforts.

Excitement, Tension, Spirit Mount As At six o’clock on Thursday, September 23, drums rolled, car horns beeped, chants were sung, and the excitement of an up-coming game drifted through the air. It was the beginning of the annual WHS Homecoming Parade. Each class and club had its share of work to do. The freshmen entered one car; the sophomores, two; juniors, three; and the seniors, three decorated cars and a float. After the parade and bonfire, the winners of the best decorated car and float were announced. The juniors took honors by having the best decorated car, and the seniors captured first place for best decorated float. 14 Spirited seniors put finishing touches on the winning senior float. Students spend after-school hours painting signs to boost the spirit for homecoming. A blazing bonfire warms the spirit of WHS students.
