The excitement generated at the bonfire, games and production reaches a climax Saturday evening. If ever there was a time of anxiety, excite- ment, and worry over dates, dresses, and hair, it ' s now. The night of THE dance is here. (Woe to she who hasn ' t rounded up a date!) Social Council has reserved the Atlanta Hilton, the individual Scottie takes care of the rest. She sheds her mascot costume for formal attire, and now you can ' t tell Jimminy from Hot Stuff or Dennis from a Keystone Cop. Her date, attired in a coat and tie, (or if she ' s really lucky, he ' s rented a tux) picks her up at Scott and from there they proceed to dinner at Nicolas ' s Roof, the Sandpiper, or (for those on a budget) Steak and Ale. Having finished dessert, they finally arrive at the Hilton at the fashionable hour of half past nine to dance those calories away. The Spontanes get everyone rocking and some Scotties even boogie on their dates ' shoulders. It ' s a wonderful night, to be pre- served forever in our scrapbooks as well as in our memories.

STUDY Studying, whether it is read- ing, doing homework, writing a pa- per, or cramming for a test takes up a lot of each Scott student ' s time outside of class. In some cases we even give up sleep or meals just to finish a paper or pass a test. Last minute studying is the story of our lives. One girl said she had tried, but just couldn ' t take a test without cram- ming. Every weekend we say we ' re going to catch up with our work, but Monday mornings find us even further behind. So we keep on studying a little until time for a test or paper, and then we panic and rush to get it through. Every night as the sun goes down, all the empty rooms and cor- ners of the campus fili up with students looking for the perfect place to study. The logical places are dorm rooms and the library. But dorms are filled with hazards like radios, TV ' s, noisy neigh- bors, and talkative roommates. So most people move out to attics, basements, study rooms, the Alum- nae Garden, and even the Georgia Tech and Emory libraries. During the day, before and between classes, we study. Early every morning, the breakfast cram- mers can be found in the dining hall. Students taking modern languages try to get their hours in at the Language Lab whenever they have free time. Of course, studying does have its rewards — like study breaks for snacking and relaxing, and getting a test or paper back with a passing grade.
