Under the spotlight of our social activities was the work of a group of night-watchers, known as the Decorating Committee. They labored into the waning hours of the night to create the crepe paper fantasies for the enjoyment of the following night's dancers, Following the precise directions of chairman Pat Morgan, assistants Cus Semon, Russ Henderson, John Sel- lyei, Carl Meiser and Johnny Carpenter, along with many others, made our dances just a little bit of dreamland. The advice and supervision of Mr. Lyndon Colby was monumental to a successful season in all aspects, The committee wishes to take this op- portunity to express their sincere appreciation for his unfailing guidance. The desirable returns of hard work, in a select group, is the fruit ol their labors and we all know that their ability to work together will be car- ried to even greater heights in their quest of higher education. So when the lights have dimmed for the last time and the dance floor is torn from its swinging partners Bordentown will always remember these young men and their contributions.
