They forgot cues and couldn't hear the prompter .. . became nervous and poured tea into the saucer in- stead of the cup... left out a whole page! But like troop- ers, somehow came through .. . the show went on. The weather warmed and suddenly several lithe little figures clad in black scampered across the stage of the amphitheater—Modern Dance Club at work.

Coker had a Dad's Day and the Spirit looked on and smiled warmly. Dad sat through Civ. lecture, lost though he was. He met teachers, advisors, and other Dads . . worked and played just as his girl does .. . saw why he sent her to Coker. A gay and exhilarating feeling must have swept over the Spirit as he looked back and recalled Dance Commit- tee planning a big night. He remembered anxious ques- tions such as “Who can I invite?” or “What will I wear?” . the bands that played . . . someone daring to do the Charleston . . . couples saying goodnight on Richardson, lingering five minutes longer than legal . . . and the “After glow.”
