School Weekends successful dances Weekends were often the liveliest part of the week at Brother Rice. Monthly sock- hops drew crowds to the BR. gym for three hours of socializing. Formal holiday dances at llomccoming and Christmas proved popular with upperclassmen. ln its second year, the Dance Commit- tee has had much to do with this success. Planning the dances requires much tczlm- work and sacrifice. Tedious tasks such as collecting money, guarding doors, and cleaning the cafeteria and the gym are performed by the Dance Committee mem- bers. Under the directives of the Student Council, a new set of rules governing sock-hops was drawn up and adopted. Bands were hired to replace records. Spef cial activities such as the Talent Show and Combo Clash were organized.

Bring School Year to inale Birmingham Athletic Club serve as co-hosts After a delightful evening at the Senior Formal, Guy Piche, Diane Atkinson, john McAllister and Pam Thraen prepare to leave. After picking up their dates for the junior Prom, Larry DeWulf, Dolly Delioche, lim Hurrell, and janet Snbo discuss plans for the evening. Bedccked in tuxedos, the class of 1965 led their gowned dates to the last dance they attended as members of the Brother Rice student body. Held in May, the Senior Prom was not only the finish of the year at Brother Rice, but also the com- mencement of graduation activities. Hill- crest Country Club hosted the second an- nual gala evening. Although the dance was officially over at two o'clock in the morn- ing, the evening continued until dawn as the 200 couples broke up into private parties. With the sunrise on May 8, 1965, the prom sadly became a memory. The Junior Prom, although not as for- mal as the seniors', was as impressive as its older partner. On May 21, members of the Junior class and their dates flocked to the gaily decorated Birmingham Ath- letic Club, The Iunior Prom also heralded the changing of leadership in the school as the class of 1966 took the torch from the class of 1965. . l i Members of the Senior Prom Committee, jim Chenet, Cory Hartung, Larry Quinlan, ,lim An- gell, and Mike Duerr discuss theme ideas to he presented loefore the decoration committee. 117
