APRIL 26, 1975 — JR.-SR. PROM We May Never Pass This Way (Again) James Seals--Dash Crofts Life, so they say, is but a game and they let it slip away. Love, like the autumn sun, should be dying, but it's only just begun. Like the twilight in the road up ahead, They don't see just where we're goin' And all the secrets in the universe Whisper in our ears and all the years will come and go and take us up, always up. We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again. Faculty members and their dates enjoy the dinner of | clam chowder, salad, fried chicken, green beans, baked potatoes, rolls, apple strudel, and drinks, The 1975 Prom, dedicated to the seniors, was held on the fourteenth floor of the Sheraton Hotel in Fort Wayne. It began at 7:00 and ended at midnight. After the Prom, Funny Car Summer , was shown at the Kent Theater. Many couples went out for breakfast and bowling in Warsaw, and many went to the Dunes.
