Senior Ball Is Trees, Sleighs, and New Year Looking as if everything is being enjoyed., the Seniors dance to one ofthe many tunes by The Committee . 20-student life A New Year's Dawning '7l set the pace for the Senior Ball. In keeping with the title, the Ballroom at the Ball State Student Center was decorated with simplicity. In the center of the dance floor, floodlights glistened on a white Hooked tree. Two aluminum Christmas trees were placed on the stage, and miniature sleighs filled with evergreen boughs were set on the tables. The Committee was hired to entertain the Senior couples with their rock music at the dance. Shoes, flowers, and other prom items frame hands for the more romantic side of the Ball. As the beat of the music changes, the speed of the dance grows faster for Harold Fruit and Shirley Hesson.

t Presented by Seniors For the first time, the Seniors took on the responsibility of planning and organizing the Thanksgiving and Christmas Convocations. Two weeks of working on skits, scripts, and music were spent on each. They worked with the theme of What Thanksgiving Means to Us? to present several skits of dilTerent societies of people. These skits ranged from a scene of the Civil War to a view of a family during a Thanksgiving dinner. To conclude the convocation, a drawing was held and two turkeys were given away. During the Christmas Convo, the guests and students were entertained by the Junior Girls, Senior Girls, and Robed Choir. Santa's Using Zebras Now, Let It Snow, and Handel's Messiah were among the numbers that were performed by these groups. The humorous and serious sides of Christmas were portrayed by various skits, and a prayer ended the convocation.
