A roll of crepe paper transformed a gym into a festive ball-room; a pair of sneakers was put aside for satin slippers; asweat shirt was replaced by a white dinner jacket; these werethe miracles of the Junior Prom, a night which marked the ful-fillment of our dreams. It was the efforts of the class commit-tees, chaired by Barbara Shea, and the resourceful leader-ship of Mrs. Kathleen Stephens and Mrs. Betty Schenck whichgave the dream substance. Once the prom was over, thedream became a memory — one which will be forever cher-ished. ..„-...

The traditional tableau once again inspired overflowing

audiences at Christmas time. The art, music and drama de-

partments cooperated to achieve miraculous perfection. The

narrator, Richard Allen, read the Christmas story, which was

supplemented by the music of the choir and the colorful, real-

istic pageantry presented by the Mask and Mimers. Peter Cul-

ver's singing of the benediction "Peace I Leave With You"

was another final touch of solemnity .in a most impressive

pageant.

with the piercing scream of a woman. The plot cen-

tered around the search for a London woman's mur-

derer. The audience was kept in suspense until the
