SOCIAL nything from the Long Branch Saloon to Back In Your Own Back Yard was available to Wasson students at the five 1968-69 school dances. Decora- tions were more varied and imaginative this year as the Social Committee was trying to get away from the traditional use of crepe paper as a decorating device. The Long Branch Saloon was highlighted by a bar at which refreshments were served, bales of hay sur- rounding the stage, and many old railroad lanterns hanging from the ceiling. The Homecoming Dance, Back In Your Own Back Yard, featured a flower- covered house and a lowered-ceiling effect which was created by the use of a giant parachute. The annual Sno-Ball dance, Somewhere My Love, was creatively done in white and silver decorations, which gave the illusion of a romantic winter wonderland. Under the direction of Secretary of Social Judi Peake, the committee spent long hours after school preparing the decorations. On the Friday and Satur- day before a dance, members flocked to school to put up the decorations in the cafeteria or the boys' gym.

l l l l l l l l Secretary of Records Pat Von Rueden counts ballots for Homecoming Queen. l l RECORDS lection year is always here for members ofthe Rec- ords Committee. One of the jobs of this committee was to conduct all the queen elections and to tabulate the results. Members also helped with the election of this year's student council. The giant birthday card in the showcase was kept up to date by Pat Von Rueden, secretary of records, and her committee. Hours of research went into this project. Another one of Pat's duties was to take min- utes of all the Cabinet meetings and to post them in the foyer, thus providing an important link between the student government and the student body.
