Senior Ball December - the world outside contrasted sharply with the atmosphere within the Somer- ville Inn. Held for the first time at the site of the 1968 Junior-Senior Prom, the Senior Ball came into focus. After months of prep- aration by members of the committee and anxious seniors, the long-awaited twenty-ninth arrived. Couples conversed quietly over din- ner and later filled the dance floor. Willing fac- ulty members assumed one more role as they looked on from the chaperones' table. Later, students and oldsters alike were caught up in hilarious renditions of the handkerchief dance from ZORBA THE GREEK, Immaculata's version of the f'Alley Cat, and golden oldies such as uthe twist,', the monkeyf' and 'fthe frug. At that point teachers graciously con- ceded the floor to the younger set, who thor- t oughly enjoyed a more modern style of music. Committee members Nancilee Yannetta, Robert Dubrowski, Mary Mattel, Jane Davis, Valer1'e Santelli, Ellen Herrmann, and Sharon Panzera smile contentedly at incoming couples.

An Affair to Remember All the weeks of hard work by the com- mittee members were well rewarded as they and their classmates arrived at the Martinsville Inn to be transported to an- other world. Dreamy music provided by Connie Tarentino enhanced the unreal quality of the atmosphere, as couples floated over the dance floor. Dinner dis- pelled the strangeness and restored com- raderie as friends gathered to chat with members of the faculty and chaperones. The older set asserted that they enjoyed the dance as much as anyone present. However. the night drew too quickly to a close, and each couple departed con- vinced that the Junior-Senior Prom was indeed An Affair to Remember. it Y . . .

Pep Rallies Spirit is the key word for Immacu- lata, 1970. Football and basketball games are sparked by pep rallies that never fail to arouse all the enthusiasm six hundred sixty-one teenagers can generate. Starting off the grid season came the event that set the pace for the year. During the Spirit Week each year had its own color to display on all posters, banners, and lapels. For five days the classes tried to outdo each other in demonstrations of support for the schoolg then all four united in a culminating pep rally. Standing ovation is given to meritorious football players led by Fullback Ralph Pascale. Enthusiasm and optimism are primary elements mingled to promote school spirit, as seen by anxious seniors awaiting the start of the first rally to initiate The Year of the Spartans. aegi s 5 isll,iJ?K K' sat
