PROMENADE OF SPRING
STUPENDOUS

Once more the patio of Dorsey
high school was an enchanted gar
den over which was scattered rose
petals amidst the green of royal
palm trees. A vine covered arch-way
was the romantic-like entrance under
which well-dressed couples came to
enter the garden. Upon entering,
each stopped to gaze at a setting
which is rarely seen at proms - two
tub-like baskets each holding fiji
teen large red roses frozen in a hun
dred-fifty pound ice cake. This was
a courtesy of the City Ice Co. In the
center of the garden was the orchs-
ira sending forth notes in the tropi-
cal setting of lighted coconut trees
and swaying palms. Intermission
came - couples drifted toward
tables ladened with delicious re-
freshments. During all of this gran
deur. Mr.. Daniel Francis and Mr..
David Simmons were to and fro
swapping pictures. This, the setting
of the Dorsey JuniorSenior prom on
last Friday night, was a combina'
ton of graces and charms, and
gratifying natural loneliness.
