With the two schools working together, the Entertainment Com- mittee was able to sponsor a square dance, two skating parties, and two record dances. Perhaps the most eventful innovations of the year, further dissolving the social barriers between the two schools, were the two dinners held before the Fund Raising Campaigns Kick-off on November 6, and the Glee Clubs' Christmas Concert, for members of both first classes. As is becoming a tra- dition, a square dance was held across the street in the new gymnasium. Everybody seemed Cfor 'seemed' is all we can say in the interests of discreet moderationj to have fun despite the inevit- able griping which annually precedes this affair. The costume party last fall also seemed a success, while the costumes, and also the refreshments, became an outlet for creative genius. The skating parties speak their own language! Thanks are given to Pietr Hitzig for his music, the Trio and Piglets for their impromptu variety of same, and to the kitchens of both schools for serving us so well.

Blazer Committee The Blazer Committee, a villainous group encompassing a fine cross-section of the more piratical elements of the class, was elected in the fall of '58 by a somewhat orderly meeting of its classmates who had an eye on the then distant mirage of the senior class and graduation. Led on bybchief bandit Bolton C., they sent out scouting parties to locate likely victims. Eventually Wetlge and his gray- ing adviser, Wfally QT? Swett, spied a company foolish enough to offer high quality for a relatively low price, and ordered an attack. Chico Freeman and Tom Holcombe, determined to get the most for their money, drew up a design for a large and opu- lent shield - and the dastardly deed was done. After the great flood of boltongrams had subsided, the survivors found that they had got their blazers, and beaming with satisfaction went out to show them off.

Filoon, Cheever, Bingham, Kemp, Pierce, Freeman. Dance Committee Although our meetings were not characterized by an extraordinary degree of efficiency or progress, they were always full of humor, fun and some of Cheever's pregnant ideas. It must not be forgotten, however, that there was occasionally a Hash or two of 'creative' genius. De- spite the fact that our 'group-thinks' were not always successful, in the end they brought us face to face with reality and served us well. They resulted in the Spanish motif of last spring's First, and in the winter setting of the Foot. The First was highlighted by the artistic masterpiece of Chico Freeman and the kid Kemp, and by Harry Marshard's band which did its traditionally fine job. The Foot, on the other hand, will be remembered, among other things, as the night when Ruby Newman himself was present and made the dance, and when Chairman Pierce, seeing the end in sight, mixed his ,few well-chosen words while introducing his successor, jack Turney, as Jack Chairman. It mattered little, for everyone was enjoying him-, or her-, self, and few noticed the error. 1 Kemp I Pierce is V M I 4 v ' K A Filoon i k Binghama ww Right- v xx X-J ww .N 'far N 1 Cheever Ffeemafl I N 'N .- , ' 5 -gt.
