Prom Plans Roll; Barker Band Set For Big
Occasion
Plans are now underway for the forthcoming Junior-Senior
Prom to be held at the International Ballroom of the prominent Lafayette
Hotel in Long Beach.
The Warren Barker band has been secured for the occasion.
This is one of the Disneyland bands and is popular for its recording of
"77 Sunset Strip" for the Warner Bros. Studios and is currently
being used as the theme song of the weekly television program.
Paulette Dagampat is the winner of the contest that was
held on campus to select a theme for the prom. Her entry of "Stairway
To The Stars" was selected by the Junior class officers.
The Sweetheart's Swing is one of the money making
projects to gain money for the prom as well as the Mistletoe sales that
were conducted during the yuletide season.
Future activities to raise money for the prom are selling
popcorn at the basketball games as well as other tentative activities such
as a faculty basketball game featuring Mayfair vs. Bellflower
faculty.
