THE CHRISTMAS DANCE was held in Crawford Hall on 'flue IO'I'I1 of Decem. ber, l955. DANCES hold probably the highest position in the social activities of our school year. They range from the go as you are record dances, held after basketball games and by different organizations, to semi- formal and name band formal dances like Pan-Hell and I.F. It is not possible to show snaps from all of the school year's dances, and so we have picked a few of the earlier and more important dances to be pic- tured on this and the next page.

JUNIOR CARNIVAL Besides the Ouija the Junior Class also produces an annual talent show called THE JUNIOR CARNIVAL. This year's show was an opus entitled THREE DAY PASS. It was the story of three soldiers in New York on a weekend pass and how they lived it up in the Big City. They partook of many various types of entertainment ranging from Carnegie Hall to the German-American Club in Greenwich Village. The MC of the show was the inimitable Lew Flaherty, noted for his humorous com- ments and teller of many funny stories. He was the leader of the soldiers' fthe soldiers being Ed Robinson and Deane Passmoreb excursion through New York on their first visit. These three campus clowns also provided much between-act entertainment, with their many routines and ridiculously hilarious antics. There were serious parts to the show too. The first act featured classical entertain- ment similar to that performed in Carnegie Hall. Vocalists and pianists provided the very appropriate music. The first act also included a very good take-off on the TV pro- gram, 364,000 Question. Next came some real old-fashioned Dixieland Jazz directly from Basin Street. After a night of culture, the three GIs decided that Saturday was their night to howl. They visited in rapid succession the aforementioned German-American Club, Harlem and the Latin Quarter. The talent in these high spots included some very down-to-earth singing, a little comedy, and a lot of very smooth dance music. The third act consisted mainly of show tunes from the top shows that have appeared on Broadway. Space doesn't permit naming the talented people who were in the show but it should be said that all were not members of the Class of 57. Every class contributed its best talent and lent able hands to the Co-chairmen, Cynthia Kester and Page Glasgow. Really now he's noi' drinking! Those mugs are empfy also'
