GIRLS' LEAGUE HIGI-ILIGI-IT, 'ROCK-N-BEE-BOP,' A SUCCESS sing a '5O's theme, Rock-N-Bee-Bop, the - fall Girls' League cabinet sponsored its annual Twirp tgirl-ask-boyl dance on Nov. 9. Featuring the group, Vegas , the dance was termed successful by Rachel Kale, president, because we made S500 and we had a good crowd. Disappointments, though, did arise during the term. I was really unhappy with our apathetic cabinet. lt was always the same girls who helped out and showed up for meetings and parties. I know we would have had a better term if everyone would have cooperated, Kale said. The Girls' League president credited juniors Sue Lambert and Kim Morris for doing a really good job with the only Twirp week activity, the Send a Kiss to a Friend. Kisses, sent from secret admirers, were delivered in reg rooms. The cabinet also sponsored caramel apple sales and sold chocolate kisses during Twirp week. At the traditional Big-Little Sister parties in September and October, the president was happy with the turnout of the freshmen girls. We had a lot of fun and the freshmen enjoyed themselves. Kale had special thanks for Cathy Leaverton, vice president, who attended our meetings regularly and gave much of her time. .457 ta 'lg .P ABOVE: Fall Girls' League officers tKelly Graetzer, second vice president, julie Mof- fatt, publicity rep, Lynn Oka, treasurer, and Cathy Leaverton, vice presidentl plan an activ- ity during a meeting.

THOUGH BAND DISAPPOINTS, CHRISTMAS SEMI ENJOYED - - oonlight and Mistletoe was chosen as this l. ' year's theme for the Christmas semi-formal, once again held in the Portland State University Ballroom and sponsored by the fall Executive Council. The group Shaniko, which performed at the dance, was disappointing to many who attended. I expected the group to be a lot better, was a popular response. Dennis Hipes, senior, masqueraded as Santa Claus and passed out candy canes and jolly Ho-Ho's to enhance the Christmas theme, according to jeff Lindquist, student body second vice president. Reigning over the semi-formal was Queen Lisa Exley, senior, who was selected by a vote at the door. Court members included junior Chris Beard, sophomore Cheryl Dowty and freshman jennifer Christonhersnn F!
