I was very pleased with the total effect. Food Service students had prepared the refreshments of cookies and punch upon which couples munched between dance numbers. A professional disc jockey, Mr. Sam Odyssey, spun the records, offering the dancers music from rock to country.

Corsages and boutonnieres eventually withered, but Pop Ball left pleasant memories.
