By Margaret Schoenhoff)

the Junior High gymnasium was
again the setting for the outstand-
ing event of the school year, the
Junior prom, which this year was a
rhapsody in blue. The gym was
decorated in three shades of blue
ranging from French blue and
gradually blending into darker
tones. The futuristic lamp shades
cast weird shadows upon the white
banquet tables below. An imitation
of New York's future skyline sep
arated the reception room from
the dining room which later served
as the dance floor.
The women, gowned in lovely
dresses, added greatly to the beau
tiful effect of the entire room. Cen
tlemen in dress suits were mixed
among the feminine flash of color.
At TOO o'clock the banquet, pre-
pared by the Home Economics
classes under the supervision Of
Miss Alice Miller, was served to
the guests, numbering 1872, by the
Freshmen girls. The following
menu was served:
Cocktail
Veal Loaf Potatoes Au Gratin
Hot Rolls
Perfection Salad
Ice Cream and Cake
Candy Coffee Nuts
The ice cream was carried out in
blue and white, and each individ-
ual cake was frosted with white
and had the same design as was
found on the programs.
The tables were adorned with
white covers and in each corner
was a futuristic design carried out
in blue consisting of two triangles
and part of circle. Crystal
candle sticks with blue candles were
placed on each table. Bouquets of
sweet peas, larkspur and stocks
added to the blue color scheme.
Charles Rattle gave Rhapsody in
Blue, a welcome to the Seniors and
school board. Clarence Nathe who
was introduced as "big little
senior" replied to the extended well
come, and recalled a few "Blue
Memories" of the class of 80. Miss
Ranstad rendered a beautiful solo,
"The Boat Song" followed by an
encore Without a Song" Rita
Book gave a selection True Blue
Spirit which we'll fitted the young
people present. Mr.. Kohl played
"The Blues" an original arrange
ment for the piano, which was
followed by delightful little skit
Under a Blue Moon" presented by
Prudence Arndt and Coleman HUI
Der.
President DR.. H. F. Henneman
spoke in behalf of the school board
on the subject of "True Blue" He
discussed in particular how little
the prom of today differs from that
of yesterday. It Is needless to say
he received much applause.
The Boys Quartette sang Bar
Der Shop Blues"
Mr.. Kohl concluded the program
by a humorous, delightful talk
which he called 1.-THE Devil and the
Deep Blue Sea-" He informed the
students that all that lay between
them and success was the ladder.
The guests adjourned to the re-
ception room to wander around and
gaze at the artistic art gallery on
the north wall. This gallery con-
tanned pictures of the town Of Sank
Centre in the future, futuristic
boats, cars, and even thunder
storms.
The dining room was cleared OF
furniture while the orchestra was
being established on the stage.
Then to the music of Hermie's Har-
mony Hermits the grand march
began. Charles Rattle and his
guest, Susan Sprague, led the
grand march followed by Clarence
Nathe, and Evelyn Mathies, Mr..
and Mrs. Kohl, school board MEM
bers and their wives, faculty, Sem
iors and Juniors. This was fol-
lowed by dancing unil twelve o'clock
when the orchestra played the IA
miliar strains Of Home Sweet
Home" and the prom was at an
end.
The Junior class feels especially
indebted to Miss Miller who had
charge of the banquet, Miss Nyfors,
class advisor, Mr.. Benson, who do
mated the coffee, to the Irish Cath
Ollie Church and Community Club
rooms for dishes and chairs, and to
all others who helped to make the
Prom success.
