Freshmen Dance The evening of February 14 (Valentines Day), the freshmen gave a dance honoring the sophomore class. The dances included the Limbo, Twist, Monkey, Broom-Dance, Hully-Gully, Ladies Choice, Slow Dance and the Stomp. Everyone was very pleased with the nice stereo music. After enjoying an evening of fun and dancing everyone was served a very delicious lunch of cake and punch. The table was beautifully decorated with red net, candles, and the traditional cupid.

General Motors Demonstration by two representatives in early January: Their topic was World of Science. They showed us how to make a very special foam rubber with the use of ammonia. The rubber would withstand the shock of being hit very hard and would also bounce a hard-boiled egg off its surface. With just the motion of air we saw how a person could be moved. They also produced a battery strong enough to run a transistor radio. We were also very fascinated with the demonstration of the jet engine. (Reported by Sherry Granger)
