Social FACULTY FROLIC Miss McLean arrived at Alma College on the evening of April l in her autogyro and introduced us to a glimpse of Alma in 1979. By this time the College had a male staff, service bells, a telephone in every room, and Coca Cola served between classes. As we looked into Miss Hardy's English Class we observed many of the students Win nsgligee,N and each with a sufficient supply of kleenex, apples and chewing gum. After the students had refreshed themselves with a WCoke' we saw them in Miss Gregory's physical training class where Miss Stewart gave a very good exhibition of a dance of Spring. Next we found Dr. Dobson conducting a class in business etiquette and interviewing applicants for a position in the College. When we arrived at one of the practise rooms, Miss Neville and Miss Smith were pracitsing their lessons. Finally bringing the show to a close, Miss Swain and Miss Stewart gave a demonstration of a bridal couple from an old family album and sang WO, Promise Me.' On arriving at the gymnasium we found there an orchestra prepared to play dance music for us. After we had had lunch it was time to go to bed. But long will we remember the gay time we all had that evening and wish to express our sincere thanks to the Faculty. on G5 J 31

As the boat S '79 This year's S. S. Alma. This an enjoyable but SENIOR PROM Senior Prom was held on Friday, Jebruary 10, aboard the luxurious liner left 'Port Alma' about eight-thirty for brief southern cruise. glided through the white caps, the rippling rhythms of Paul Kirkpatrick's orchestra completed the aquatic picture. On a brief stop-off at the island of red carnations, all went ashore for a delicious lunch. But alas, all too soon the ship turned homeward. Even when the music stopped, everyone, not realizing the ship had merely reached its port and sensing only disaster, rushed for the lifesevers on the deck. After all had regretfully disembarked, the girls took leave of their partners and the Senior Prom, but they had tucked away happy memories of that Bon Voyage. Billie Gough M33 'Hello there! Welcome to Hillcroft!' Dr. and Mrs. Dobson, our hostess, received us by these greetings, and saw that we had everything needed before they left us for a perfect week-end at the farm. A farm I said? You should see it. A nice white house with a large porch on the river side, flowers all around. It is a very modern farm with all the commodities of a town house, electricity, radio, and I just heard that soon there will be a gas stove. But we had such a good time with the wood stove! That's where you really show your farmer's ability! And also your cook capacity! There are a lot of lovely spots around where the Day Dreamers can go Just across the road or the river. Hiker and excursionist are in their glory. The sad part of a week-end at Hillcroft is that you have to come back. We are very thankful to Dr. and Mrs. Dobson to give us the opportunity of enjoying a real week-end of peace at Hillcroft. Jeannette Lepan 32
