Saturday evening, May 7, the Junior class of the Howard High School honored the Senior class with a dinner and a prom entitled "In The Misty Moonlight."  The gymnasium was decorated with blue and silver streamers and a stone wall divided the dancing area.  After a delicious meal, Linda Hobson, junior class president, gave the welcome to all seniors, faculty members, honored guests,and juniors.  Joe Hebb, senior class president, gave the response.  The boys quartet, Charles Forsyth,  Stephen Miller, Danny Parker, and Joe Hebb sang "If I Ruled The World" accompanied by Karen Hebb, followed by the reading of the senior class will and prophecy.

The speaker, Dennis Crisp, gave a very interesting talk, "Are You Ready to be an Adullt."  After which they all moved to the dance area, by crossing over a bridge over the stone wall.  The center of attraction in this part of the room was a huge fountain and a revolving mirror ball was hung from the ceiling giving a very beautiful effect.

The juniors and their sponsors, Mrs. Johnna White, Neal Weber, and Bob Hensley are to be commended for their hard work to present such a beautiful and well organized prom which all enjoyed.
