BIG week

“Class Day” for the Class of 1964 took place on this date our senior year. (It was a Monday that year.) At an assembly at which members of the Junior Class were “guests,” our class will, ballot, history, and prophecy were announced.

Anyone remember the details of those?  Nothing of a will, ballot, etc., is known now to exist.

Later in the week, after Class Day, Honors Night (May 12), Class Banquet (May 13) and the Senior Opera (May 14) came the Senior Prom on May 15. The cafeteria was transformed into a “Colonial Cotillion,” with music from Dar Horr and his orchestra. After dancing, the class enjoyed a smorgasbord supper in the gym. And after that . . . !

Any mementoes of that week? Programs? Prom pictures? There were tons of pictures taken, usually at the girl’s house, if I recall correctly. Jacqui Artiano Ruest shares two from her prom night.
