Junior-Senior Prom "Programme" 1957



-click to enlarge-

Scanned images of the "programme" given to the attendees of the Junior-Senior Prom in 1957.

All looks great but the food menu appears kinda skimpy. Maybe there was enough for Ellis and Henry and others that were chow hounds as I knew them.

Anyone recall who "Elvis Presley" was?

  2. That menu was to die for....Does memory fade? Seems like we went to Tupelo for a party after the prom and stayed out all night. I think Aaron and I got Linda and Mary Evelyn home just before daylight.

  6. Maybe Carlos White and others will agree with me; when I had an early morning Commercial Appeal paper route that began at 4:30 or 5:00 AM I saw quite a few folks sneaking home at all times of the year, just in time to get a shower and get to school!

  9. I'm still wondering what a Cotton Boll Salad is...

  10. There was a restaurant in Tupelo many years ago named the Cotton Boll. It had a salad by the same name and even boll weevils for garnish. I'll let you wonder what the weevils were. They were edible, of course.

    (bacon bits!)
