Nothing flashy, nothing gaudy; -without the bloated dirigibles and the tissue-paper- chicken wire creations-

Memories of the past school year parade in the minds of those who helped create themsurging down unending avenues of time. -Not an annual performance forgotton in an aftermath of football parleys, fireworks, or turkey dinners, but rather: —a continuous growing procession whose music runs deeper than a tinny rendition of the school songvibrating rhythmically to tunes of awareness, sonatas of love, anthems of friendship, ﬂowing tones of understanding; -songs continuously being composedperformed in a number of renditions-

everybody marching to the beat in their individual steps: -some bounding in wide confident strides: -others taking the carefully measured steps of a military drill:

The resonant tones harmonize and interweave with the intensity of existingbuilding up to a climactic tale of a mutual search for identity and for fillment; accentuated by a wide spectrum of cestumes and disguises people wear as they parade through the comic, dramatic, and tragic elements of everyday living before the rest of the world.

Faculty remain unrecognized in smothering dusky robes of authority with innumerable folds. . .until a tempest of personalities or a whirlwind of activity bestirs the robes, causing them to expand and billow: -To emit new dimensions of person previously held captive in the dark recesses of the folds. . . faculty act behind the scenes of a parade-promoting, arranging, smoothing out the bumps, determining what course the parade will take. . .

Prom 1971 — A Time for Gaiety, Elegance and Sentiment A Time for Us After a short "joy-ride" on the school bus, the long-awaited event of the year became reality for the seniors on March 15. Prom Announcement, held in the Little Theatre, artistically transformed into a Shakespearean balcony and garden, revealed this year's theme as "A Time For Us" from Romeo and Juliet. On the night of April 23, junior and senior couples arrived at the Diplomat Inn Ballroom, and danced to the sounds of LA Carnival. The Grand March began at 10:45 p. m. and prin— cesses Stephanie Calabretto, Caryn Poell, Liz Sardo, Jan Illgner, and Mary Ann McColley were escorted past anxious onlookers by their dates. As couples crowded towards the throne, Master of Ceremonies Fr. George Shoemaker announced ”The 1971 Prom Queen is Liz Sardo!" Last year's queen Colleen Kelly passed the crown to Notre Dame's new royalty, and the queen's dance began. Prom 1971 came to a close as couples departed for dinner and after-parties.

Refreshments brought an emotion-packed P. A. to a close.
