The bake sales, car washes, the style show, th,e play, and the Warrior mascot tor 19 6 2 wlll all be long-remembered projects ot the Junior Class. To the seniors the prom is more t.h un a dance. It is a Onll.l tribute from the juniors and the under• classmen. It remains In a cloud of anticipation, as the underclassmen look toward the future. The main problem, but the most run, wlll be the choice of the perfeet dress. Soft lights and a taint breeze wlll glve a new look to the gauzy chiffons ot every rainbow color. Mirror-like satins will re· fleet the gaiety of the evening. Gold and silver brocades wUl s hine from every corner of th.e ballroom. The magic of the night wlU be represented as silhouettes of black appear. Known tor Simple elegance and origi.nAl St}'lc, Mr. Mort adds t wo fluid panels of bla.ek crepe to soften tho skirt of the featured dress. Made of rayon and acetate, this young sophisticate will go euslly to all soclal functions.
