Throughout the year, Mrs. Virginia Erlandson Loose and her advanced, intermediate, and beginning modern dance classes performed for the students at weekly assembly programs and for the general public at the annual spring Dance Recital. Throughout the dance numbers a variety of accompaniment was used, from percussion to recorded music to narrative. This, as well as the variety in mood of the numbers, kept the interest of the audience. The Modern Dance class opened the January 18 assembly in presenting Dynamics, and then the Lord's Prayer. Pit one time during the year a few class me-mbers attended a Dance Symposium in San Francisco. GDER AN CE

ODER AN CE The annual Spring Dance Recital was given in the college auditorium on May 24. Fifty- five students from the Modern Dance and Folk Dancing classes participated. The first half of the program consisted of Dance Designs and Fables. The second half was a dance drama, Orlando The idea was taken from Virginia Wolf's Orlando, wherein the main character is sometimes a boy and sometimes a girl. Carol Vikse danced the part of Orlando, who fell asleep and dreamed. In the dream sequences she finds herself a shadow boy in the land of dreams, as a girl in a French cafe, and as a boy in the land of jazz. ln Ancient Greece the boy sees statues come to life, and then he beats a drum for a primi- tive dance by Patti Brownell. Then he is a girl in a Spanish Fiesta, danced by the Folk Dance class. She ends up as a part of a Temple Chant of an ancient time. ll Standing: Rastler. Quiggle. Alden. Kneeling in back: Bean. Davis.
