Pausing far a moment during "Emerald Isle," two students watch couples dancing below to the music of Bob Capelli. Emerald Isle Sets the Mood for Senior Prom J02 Presented on April 23rd, by the class of 1960, was the Senior Prom. Holding to the tradition of past years, couples gathered at the Lincoln Room of the Shirley-Savoy Hotel. The decorations beautifully carried out the general theme of the dance, Emerald Isle. Couples cross into the ballroom over a small bridge, decorated with flowers and other fol– iage. A mural of the ocean and a hazy moon set off the bandstand. Silver trees and flowers, entwined around the pillars, added their ele– gance to the dance. As the couples entered, each was given a small, eight-sided green bid, which was topped with a glistening emerald. Organization and planning worked hand in hand to help make this dance the outstand– ing social event of the year, and each girl, queen for one night.
