The Winter Wonder- land Dance proved to be a huge success in comparison to dances of the past. This was the most successful dance money-wise we've ever had, said Revellier Sponsor Mrs. Martin. The photographer was good, there were lots of people and the music was energetic. Though 15 days shy of Christmas, the holiday spirit prevailed. Red and green lights strung through the trees, tinsel and streamers hung everywhere to bring Christmas to Elsik's South Cafeteria on December 10th. Although the other decorations were predominant. the most looked for decoration was of course, the mistletoe. The highlight of the evening transpired with the an- nouncement of the Christmas Court.
