Junior Prom Sees Decorations Carry South American Theme Decorations as lavish as any used for a University dance in years are being planned for Saturday night's Junior Prom at McArthur court, Dave Stone, decoration chairman, said Thursday. All the color and gaiety of South America have been incor porated to lend a distinctive, haunting atmosphere to the dance. The bandstand will be convert ed into an antiquated temple— symbolic of ancient Latin Amer ica with a staircase leading to the tcp of the temple. Colored lights will play on the temple, with yellow blending into orange, orange into red, red into blue, and so on, until the colors fade out into darkness. Rising some 40 feet in the background is a black back-drop, with a map of South America su perimposed in spakling white. On either side of the temple, palm ti ees ilend a charming jungle flavor to the scene. The rest of the building will be decorated with the flags of the twenty-one Central and South American republics. Queen Mary As a climax of - the evening, spotlights will pick Junior Week end Queen Mary Bentley and her court out of the darkness as they appear at the top of the staircase.
