A roll of crepe paper transformed a gym into a festive ballroom; a pair of sneakers was put aside for satin slippers; a sweat shirt was replaced by a white dinner jacket; these were the miracles of the Junior Prom, a night which marked the fulfillment of our dreams. It was the efforts of the class committees, chaired by Barbara Shea, and the resourceful leadership of Mrs. Kathleen Stephens and Mrs. Betty Schenck which gave the dream substance. Once the prom was over, the dream became a memory — one which will be forever cherished. ..„-...

CAMELOT It was 9:00 on the evening of May 4 and the secret was out. After crossing the drawbridge and entering a medieval castle, everyone realized for the first time that the theme of the 1962 Junior Prom was Camelot. Each couple was royally received by Nancy Hely, general chairman, and by the other members of the receiving line. Dancing to music provided by Mort Brody and his orchestra, and dining in "The Round Table" where food was served by Medieval pages were the activities that culminated months of hard work in an evening enjoyed by all.

Pat Hand and Ken Powers are welcomed to "Camelot" by heralds D. Davies and D. Eakeley.

"We'll have two 'Knechtars of the Knights' and one Pepto-Bismol, please!"

"I wonder if Sir Lancelot could twist?"

The traditional tableau once again inspired overflowing audiences at Christmas time. The art, music and drama departments 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, realistic pageantry presented by the Mask and Mimers. Peter Culver's singing of the benediction "Peace I Leave With You" was another final touch of solemnity .in a most impressive pageant.

SENIOR P L A Y . . .

A mystery was finally brought to the WHS stage on the evenings of February 9 and 10, when the class of '62 presented The Mouse Trap by Agatha Christie. The house dimmed and the play began with the piercing scream of a woman. The plot centered around the search for a London woman's murderer. The audience was kept in suspense until the very last minute.

The Senior Play proved to be a success financially and spiritually, and the money earned helped pay for the yearbook, the Senior Banquet, and the class

"Oh, I like murder!'

"You may believe it or not, but that young man is a policeman."
