By T. Carol Bybee
I t was indeed a feeling o f awe
and inspiration fo r members of
ihe capacity audience who attend
ed the 12th annual Cinderella ball
at the School gymnasium Friday
evening, to sit under a false ceiling
of pink and blue crepe paper,
with silhouettes adorning the walls,
of old fashioned ladies and gent
lemen of Cinderella's day; and
even Cinderella painted on the
east wall, sitting by the fireplace,
tears flowing from her eyes, be
cause she could not attend the ball.
T o gain entrance to tills wonder
fairyland, one stepped through the
doors o f the carriage itself, held
up toy strong white wheels. One’s
eyes immediately fell upon a huge
pumpkin from ceiling to floor with
a large dignified painted cardboard
on one side of the door and a
sweet, dainty Cinderella on the
other side.
As the strains o f the procession
al music played toy 15 members of
the high shool orchestra, under
the direction of Lynn Lawrence,
was heard, an almost magic spell
fe ll on the very attentive aud
ience, as the royal court o f 10
members made their way around
the hall to the stage. Accompany
ing them was the Junior court of
12 members as chimes were heard

Carlos Buckner, then announced
Betty Winchell as Cinderella, with
Howard Flanary as her prince. The
couple then kneeled at the "altar"
and were crowned, afterward tak
ing their places on the pink uphol

places on either side in the rear.

ruffles on either side of the skirt,
trimmed in silver, went perfectly

was of yellow satin, with a gold

with corsages and the men wore

Janice Frost, who was a claimed
duchess, was lovely in a sea-foam
gown, with net bodice. C liff Cole-
nan was the duke.
T o the strains of "March o f the

hesitation step, took their places
at the front of the audience. Be
