Junior Class Parents and Students
Plan For Prom and After
Should the Junior Prom end at
midnight? Or, would the danger of
automobile accidents after the
Prom be reduced by extending the
time to one o'clock in the morning,
with open house receptions immedi-
ately after the prom in homes il
the area?
When the Junior class recently
asked the Board Of Education to
make an exception of the midnight
deadline on school dances for the
prom, the Board suggested that
such a change should have the
backing of a group meeting of the
parents of the members of the class.
After considerable discussion at
the parents meeting presided over
by Mrs. Vera Clute, president of the
Parent-Teacher Association. it was
decided to recommend the one
o'clock closing hour and to make
definite plans for several homes to
be open and serve light refresh
ments to the dance guests which
includes the senior class.
A committee from the Junior
Glass attended the parents meeting
and took part in the discussion and
planning
The Board of Education approved
