Parents Prepare Senior 'Late Date' Alter Prom
The "Late Date" is a plan that includes an all night train ride, three meals, and a day spent at Williams Bay, Wisconsin. The cost is $25 a couple. Deposits of $5 can be made on Friday mornings in the teachers' cafeteria.

Also, one student in the couple must be a senior.
Committee members are Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Wilke, vice chairman; Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert H. Newman, secretary; and Mr. and Mrs. John Cane, treasurer.
Other parent committee heads are Mr. and Mrs. William Windmeier, decorations; Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Wagner, train personnel; Mr. and Mrs. planning; Mr. and Mrs. Milton H. Tuttle, tickets; Mr. and Mrs. Harvy Eisfeldt, posters; Mr. and Mrs. Hendrick Kulik, re-freshments; Mr. and Mrs. Howard Coash, entertainment; and Mr. and Mrs. James Williams, publicity.
