Special entertainment included music by the EOC String Quartet, a dramatic reading by Colleen Kelly and Linda Shockman provided piano music for the caroling. All those in attendance sang popular Christmas carols. As a special treat, cookies and punch were served. Sigma Alpha Chi president, Linda George, pre pares to light the Red Master Candle. lf each one of us lit just one little candle, what a bright world this would be.

Misty Moonlight The Christmas Formal, sponsored by AWS was almost deleted from the program of events this year due to non- interest on the part of AWS members both this year and in years past. How- ever, due to protests, the dance was held on schedule. The theme chosen for this year's dance was Misty Moonlight. A night club effect was created by the arrangement of tables and the decora- tions of silver and blue. Pat Ecklund was in charge of the decorations. The decorating was done mainly by inter- ested Sabers, who strove to keep the dance a reality instead of merely a remembered event. Music was pro- vided by The Sound Spectrum. The highlight of the evening was the crown- ing of Miss Mistletoe, Susan Garri- son, by last year's Miss, Christy Com- mons. Even though there was much doubt as to whether or not the dance would be held, it was termed a success by those attending and by the AWS officials.
