The Senior Ball Program

At the senior ball the programs were distributed by the committee members as we walked in the gym. The colors designated our school colors (white and blue) The cherry blossoms were pink. On the walls in the gym, decorations included silver stars and in the middle of each star was placed a picture of a student. - Sandra

The booklets came in two colors and had gold tassels:

 

Picture yourself here......please! 

SEND WHATEVER YOU HEVE TO ME!

Two of the many notable couples that fine evening (we'd be happy to add any more photos that are submitted):

 

                       Marcia Norton and Jim Owen               Sandra Peck Schoen and Howie Rue 
 

 

 

 

The Cedar Box

Donna Gehlert Russell ('61) reminds us of a gift to graduating senior girls in the 50's and 60's from Nax Pies Furniture. (Max Pies was grandfather of Phil and Harvey Pies '61). The gift was a handsome table-top cedar box.   The box was handed out at Lawing Studio when the Senior girls went to get their Senior photos taken.


Did any of you girls get something like this???  We guys sure didn't anything!

Do you still have yours?
