Junior-Senior Prom Held Friday Evening

By Marilyn Knudsen Garbed in floor length formals and white dinner jackets, members of the junior and senior classes of D. H. S., entered the kingdom.of the sea at their prom Friday night. To carry out the theme, “Fantasy of the Sea,” the juniors provided an imaginative decor, lighted in blues and greens. As the guests walked through the door to the main room of the Decatur Youth and Community Center, where the dance was held, each girl was presented with a dance programme announcing the title of the prom and decorated' with the theme. Passing through the receiving line, each couple was greeted by the junior class officers who were responsible for much of the success, Bob DeVoss, Jerry Egly, Jane Jacobs, and Marilyn Harman. Once through the line, each touple was heard to give a short gasp, not because more oxygen was needed in this realm of the sea, but because the beauty of the decorations was quite breathtaking. In the center of the room reclined a mermaid, draped over the remains of a sunken ship, and guarding a treasure chest of sparkling trinkets. With soft blue and green light streaming upon the scene, real sand beneath her feet, and a myriad of fish, sea horses, and nets holding air bubble balloons, the room was transformed into her kingdom. Continuing around the room, at the north corner Kathryn Rash and Mark Jones, who were responsible for the prom, had used their artistic talents to create a scene for the photographer taking posed pictures of each couple.

paper machier, they had built a cave among craggy rocks, with a gigantic silver anchor* linked by a white chain to some unknown ship, and octupus ready to lend any of his eight hands, and a green turtle who swam by. Seated in these surroundings at tables decorated by candles and fishnets, couples enjoyed a refreshing and lovely evening until the enchanted evening ended. Then, after thanking the sponsors, Mr. Feasel and Mr. Clayton, they passed into the night. Quoting Longfellow, . the programs aptly described today, the dfty after, "Nothing now is left but majestic memory.” Boy Hurt Slightly As Car Hits Bike A young Decatur bicyclist escaped serious injury Friday noon when struck by an automobile at the intersection of Monroe .and Seventh streets.

Bair said this morning that voters registration for the November general election opened Friday, and urged anyone who is not registered to do so as soon as possible. The registration period is open until October 5, giving voters plenty of time to register and be eligible to vote in the fall election. Bair urged voters to register soon, however, so as not to forget it and thus not be eligible to vote in November. Anyone who voted in either the primary or general election of 1962, the clerk explained, is still .eligible to vote this year and need not register. Anyone who did not vote in either 1962 election, however, must register before October 5.
