In the grand tradition of ties, tuxedos and taffeta and a flurry of floor-length gowns, this formal fling attracted an impressive number of par- ticipants in latest finery dancing through the winter night to music provided by the Denver University Stage Band. Queen Jane Mahan, escorted by Jim Decker, above, left, prominades to the floor while ranks of applauding dancers salute royalty for the occasion.

Planning for this season ' s winter formal outing began in January with the first COAC meeting after classwork resumed with the end of the Christmas holi- days. COAC issued notice that the 66 theme to be carried through preparations and decorations would be ' Snow- flakes and Moonlight. Dave Shrum, COAC chief and newly appointed student body vice-president, called for complete cooperation from all clubs and organizations on- campus, and a creditable unified effort turned March 19 into a lively campus affair ' . 54

finselled in Blue, White, 3ym Yielded to High Heels Victorious candidate for the senate leadership in 1966-67, Mike Smith, right, leads cheerleader Pat Parr around the field house floor. Decor- ated in glittering blue and white streaked with tinsel, the gym was warmly wintered. Dave Shrum, re- flecting on the formal affair, later hastened to say that the winter for- mal was a great success. I want to thank all of those who contributed time and work to help make the dance go, Dave said. I would like to give special thanks to John Hunter, who put in more hours and work on the dance than anybody else, Shrum continued. While master of ceremonies Michael Nyi- kos introduced couples in contention for the snow crown, candidates went through an anxious moment of anticipation. Stand- ing between the other couples, Jim Decker holds tight to Jane Mahan with a reassur- ing grip. Jane bends an ear to the micro- phone. Seated on her winter chariot, Jane Mahan takes a back seat while attendant royalty are spotlighted in applause. Holding bou- quets as honorary attendants to the queen are Jane Peterson, escorted by Lou Dilts on the left, and Linda Madera, escorted by Steve Gladstein on the right. On tip-toes, Jim Decker peers between the two sombre dignitaries. Dave Shrum later extended a gesture of thanks to townspeople who offered complete cooperation to decorators; all the tables and chairs used were loaned by various Durango groups. 56
