Show EVENTS Under Parisian Skies "Vive la France" was heard around campus as Junior Prom fever once more caught university students. With the theme "Under Paris Skies" to entice prom-goers and a French atmosphere, Bruce Grow and committee added continental flavor to the Capitol building as it was transformed into familiar Paris scenes. Big Chief Massasoit was completely covered by a forty foot Eiffel Tower . . . couples promenaded under the Arc de Triomphe . . . small tables with checkered cloths around the dance floor lent a French sidewalk cafe air ... the Paris skyline arched over some 500 couples dancing under the Capitol rotunda. Favors-little manicure sets in suitcase-like containers with French stickers on the outside . . . dancing-the "sophisticated swing" of Les Elgart and orchestra . . . floor show-six Parisian Can Can girls, flipping their ruffled skirts in true French fashion, and the deep, flowing French of songstress, Georgia Bobolis, crooning the romantic ballads of Parisian nights. The University of Utah's prom is rated as the most unusual junior prom in the nation, because it is the only prom held in the state capitol building. And this 50th prom, celebrated with the romantic avor of French life and scenes and talent, remains the social highlight of the school year. Everybody comes to the Prom. Crutches may make dancing difficult but the Parisian atmosphere compensated. Ute braves, trying to look accustomed to tuxedos, line up for punch and cake during prom intermission. Committee member, Shirley Smith, dabs paint in pre-prom workout. |
