Bring out those fancy go-to-metein’ clothes, gals and guys, and let’s go a-steppin'! Once more the time has come for the juniors to sponsor a social affair; this time it’s the gala event about which everyone is talking—the Junior Prom! Although hampered by the necessity of holding it in the cafeteria, the juniors plan to make this a dance everyone will remember for 3. long, long time. Under the able guidance of the maiiv dance committee, Earl Miller, Jean Hopp, Jane Culver, Sue Earlenbaugh, Alden Ron deau, Dave Gray, Miss Thornton, and, of course, Mr. Hays, all ar rangements have' been made for music; decorations are going up; refreshments are being prepar ed; and everything in general is just simply “ducky.” Jack Woodward’s five-piece orchestra "will make with the music starting at nine o’clock sharp and ending promptly at twelve. When you aren’t danc ing to heavenly music, you will probably find yourself either in front of the refreshment bar, drinking green river punch with a scoop of ice cream floating in it, or looking admiringly at the beautiful green and white deco rations on the ceiling and walls which brightly illustrate the theme of the dance, “When Irish Eyes Are Smilin? ” Chaperones will be Mr. and Mrs. Culver, Mr. and Mrs. Hopp, Miss Thornton and Mr. Hays. Remember, let’s all turn out tonight and have the time of our lives! 0. C.
