some seventy couples, including

blue stars hanging from the ceiling, in the midst of which was a
mass of balloons. On either end
of the stage was a large blue
bird, and in the background was
a blue moon surrounded by several stars. The many different
varieties and colors of the girls'
formals further enhanced the
scene.
The Social Committee had
charge of the dance with Janet
Edwards and Pat .Blethen in
charge of publicity; Marilyn Holtorf, refreshments; Bob O'Neil,
ticket sale; and Janet Dansing-

to remark that this was, in their
opinion, the most successful dance
of the year.
