MARY ALMA GEE Chairman Serenade to Au- tumn, Coker's tribute to one of the loveliest seasons, was the theme for out first dance of the year. The dining room was transformed into a woodland paradise with Vermillion, ochre and russel leaves floating under a gold and orange crepe canopy. Music, by the Clemson jungaleers, was such as you might hear from the pipes of Pan. The Christmas season was ushered in by a mantle of white. The theme of the dance, Under the Mistle- toe, was carried out by Kissing Bells hung at stra- tegic points. One of the highlights of the dance was the crowning of the Beauty and Cutie Queens and the announcement of their courts. The climax of the school year came in an ingenious idea to combine the annual big-name dance with the May Day festivities. Our name guests for this year were the Four Lads and everyone agreed they made this dance one of our best. The DANCE COMMITTEE, headed by Mary Alma Gee, handles all the arrangements for the dances: engaging a band, planning the decorations and sell- ing tickets. agic Moments Seated: McLaurin, Wells, Gee-chairman, Pennell.
