Excitedly and rather hurriedly the seniors rushed home at six o'clock to dress after spending the entire day decoratingg a short two hours later, all had emerged from utilitarian cocoons into the glamorous outfits of social butterflies. We danced from nine 'til one to the music of Pat Burd and his orches- tra. During intermission, Henry Tilley surprised us with his piano dexterity as he played soft background music. After all had partaken of refreshments, voting was carried on. The 1958 Club Serenade Queen was chosen! Her Majesty Dianne Grossi was attended by Lois Radin and Jean Pinney. Shortly before the end of Club Serenade, Santa Claus dropped in to wish a Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! 30
