Junior Jaunt ,f Fantasy Land jj Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs foretell the coming of Fantasy Land. Mr. Rogers auctions off cakes in the Hub. Try your hand at darts, . . . Let us guess your weight, . . . These cries were heard at the kick-off carnival party for Junior Jaunt week ... a week set aside each year for the purpose of raising money for the students ' charity fund. The kick-off party was only the beginning; throughout the week classes had many money-raising projects. Everything from food to faculty souvenirs were sold . . . students shined shoes and made beds . . . there were bingo parties in the Hub. The Senior Class had a slave auction, at which some of their most valuable members were sold to the highest bidder for twenty-four hours. The annual Sup- pressed Desires Day proved a good project, for students gladly paid a dollar in order to wear bermudas to class, call teachers by their first name, and unleash other suppressed desires. The enthusiasm which was poured into these projects stemmed from the fact that the classes were competing in their efforts. Participation in projects was actually measured through an intricate system of colored slips, and the winning class was to be announced at the Junior Jaunt Ball which would climax the week-end. Also on a highly competitive bat ' s were the skits which occurred the afternoon of the Ball. The theme was Fantasy Land, with both classes and faculty presenting fairy tales especially humorous and remarkable in their ability to diverge from the original story. As couples in formal attire entered the gym that night for the Charity Ball, they discovered that Ju nior ingenuity had produced another Fantasy Land. Billowing clouds, pastel streamers, and sparkling wishing wells gave the place an air of enchantment. At intermission, the exciting moment arrived . . . the hall was hushed, waiting to hear the winners of the com- petitive events . . . the silence gave way to applause as the Junior Class won the projects participation and the Seniors won the skits. With $1,850 to give to worthy causes, and with a week of fun to look back on, Junior Jaunt was declared a great success by everyone. Original money-making ects: the wishing well sponge-throwing game, the horror house. the and Agnes Scott College

! Ih Dolphin Club Pageant Diving In as the music starts. 30 Every winter quarter Dolphin Club, the synchronized swimming club, gives a water ballet. This year the performance, entitled Reflections, was different and exciting in its modern approach. The show was divided into small ballet groups, each of which interpreted a different emotion of mood. Poetry was read before each scene to set the moods of sunrise and sunset and the emotions of joy, melancholy, triumph, frivolity, serenity, anger, jealousy, and reminiscence. Swimmers then depicted these moods in the water through aquatic dance. Ballet legs, water wheels, and other formations were executed in time to the music, and novel costuming added to the delightfulness of the performance.
