THE MERRY CYCLE Low lights, soft music, and swirling couples fill the gym as Merrillville dances go on in their respective fashions. The biggest dances, of course, would be the ones sponsored by the three classes, plus the annual Christmas dance sponsored by the Hi-Y. Club 53 ' was given by the Sophomores with a striking floor show and reserved tables. The Juniors presented Shine On, Harvest Moon, with decorations of a fall night silhouetted around the room. April in Paris was the last dance to be sponsored by the class of ' 51. Decorations were done in a spring style. Many other old and new dances were held: the Sadie Hawkins ' Dance, the Twirp Dance, and the ever popular dances after games sparked the 1959-51 school year with great success.

TOP HATS AND CORSAGES Swish — a car zooms up in front of Ihe Marquette Pavilion and we see two couples step out dressed in formal attire. They walk slowly up the front walk and as they enter ihe door the lilting strains of Blue Moon reach them. Quickly they check their coals and hurry up to the dance floor. Gazing around they see all the beautiful gowns and the many familiar and new couples. After a few dances the room becomes hushed and everyone crowds around the bandstand. The crowning has begun. Last year ' s king and queen, Pat Shearer and Bill Kimble, are standing behind the new royally, Mary Ann Halfman and Don Lipke, ready to place the crowns on their heads. Finally it is over, pictures have been taken and the grand march is on.. Now we cm leave for home, for we know each will go his own separate way and each will have had a very wonder- ful time.

Lell lo right: Mary Ann Hallman, Don Lipke, Lorraine Schmidl, Jerry Kuzma, and Joann Powers. Not shown is Charles Aubuchon. Page Fifteen
