0l 8 WOW Almost from the beginning of time the dance has been a major element in the lives of the different peoples. F rom the religious rites of the early tribes and the beating of the tom-tom of the Indians to the dignity of the minuet and waltz of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and the jitterbug of today, the dance has expressed the emotions and reflected the spirit of the people. Certain forms of dancing have undoubtedly already reached and passed their height. Many people feel that this is especially true of the ballet, for when they think of Anna Pavlova, they believe that she was the greatest ballerina of all time, and they consider that period of the ballet as its peak. Today, however, our dances are expressive of a new and vigorous generation. The Charleston, the jitterbug, the frat dance, and the South American dances- these all show quite clearly the restlessness of the age in which we're living and the desire for freedom of expression. Throughout the school year there are dances given by each class: the Rainbow Ramble, the large social affair of the freshmeng the Sophomore Prom: the I-Hop, the biggest dance in the life of any junior: and the Senior Prom, a wonderful climax to four wonderful years. In addition to these dances there are the Sweetheart Swirl and the Shamrock Shuffle, which are sponsored by clubs. Dancing is a form of enjoyment and relaxation, and in a world tense with the threat of war, to be able to relax is important. Because dancing pro- vides 'pleasure to many of our young people, and because the staff recognizes it as a part of the lives of the students, the theme chosen for the 1952 Scottonian is a dance theme. -Q A A On with the dance, say Frances Ploeqer and Barbara Rogers.
