Variety is the spice of life, or who are we to fly in the face of custom? One type of variety in our school life is given us in the form of mixers held on approximately every sixth Friday evening. These h'get-acquaintednthe-easy-way dances are held with St. John's men in our gym. Variety of another form makes these mixers fun, for among the many new faces seen at the beginning of the year, gradually some of the old, familiar ones that have been absent for two or three years are beginning to reappear. It seems that this custom is a pretty good one, after all. V? e E w : e e x 2 Donna Theisen -and Tom Burgess pause for the cameraman. Line for inspection . . .

The swish of taffeta and organdy, the rustle of net and silk, bands in our hair and stars in our eyeseknow what were talking about? There,s nothing quite as exciting as looking and feeling our best-all dressed up and really going some place-consciously making swishy noises as we walk down the stairs. Formal dances are a new college experience for many of us, since war restriction prevented them for several years. Among the dances held this year, formal and. otherwise, were the Facula formal, the dance given by the St. Cloud Alumnae chapter, the Day-Students dance, and the Junior-Semor Prom. To say that they were all grand would be inadequate-but they were! tCirclew Soft lights, low music, and the latest Johnny score. . . .
