Bob Koehler and date enjoy dance. The first dance this year, coming in the Fall Term, was given over to a football theme. The decorations were attributed to Frank Hodsoll, as he was primarily responsible for both their creation and presentation. They centered about two goal posts constructed at either end of the dining room in which the dance was given. These were decorated with crepe paper to simulate a victory rally, and at one end were ringed with football helmets, which being of a white color, gave good contrast to the room's atmosphere. The dance itself was a new experiment for the school as it was the first completely informal dance that the school has seen in some time. The boys wore sweaters, open shirts and slacks, while the girls generally wore sweaters and skirts. This attempt was found to be successful. The atmosphere was relaxing and the dance, given a good theme, was among the most successful of the year. Musically, the group who attended heard from Bob Florence, who brought his some- what progressive group up from Los Angeles for the dance. The music was enjoyed very much. Adding to the theme of the dance were several other characteristic improvements such as tackling dummies, and cartoons of the varsity eleven done by Alan Teague. The lat- ter proved the main point of the decorative side of the dance as none remained on the walls after the band had departed. Dates for the dance came from all parts of the state as usual, with Santa Barbara sending perhaps the largest group from school such as Marymount and Monticieto. Generally, the dance, which lasted from nine to one-thirty, was a big success, and the credittis to be given to Ed Gregson's dance committee who arranged and presented the theme and decoration. 7453 702m ?aaZl4Z6 4066
