★★★★ · HOT DIGGITY · Spuzz · 2014-05-20

Film is split in two parts, the first features a very strange "prom" get together. Looks like a number of couples paraded for the too low camera for whatever reason. Then they awkwardly dance. Most of the girls have pretty corsages on! One guy looks SHARP in that blue tux, and that other guy has TWO girls. YOU GO STUD. The 2nd half is just boring shots of flowers, and people posing in front of boring flowers.

★★★ · Cute and Innocent · ERD. · 2014-05-21

The film was sort of a time capsule. I enjoyed watching the Shaw High School seniors of 1953. They all looked so cute and innocent. I like the formal outfits. The second half of the film was okay. It showed flowers growing in the area and some people of the town.
