SURPRISES INCLUDE CROWN FOR A QUEEN AND A STOLEN CAR Invited by the Sophomore Class to be the host and hostess of Mother of Mercy High School's annual Father- Daughter Dance, Mickey and Minnie Mouse politely attended the November 12th event held in the Music Hall Ballroom in downtown Cincinnati. While Pete Wagner and his orchestra provided the music, bashful young ladies shyly asked their handsome, older dates, Daddy, may I have this dance? Then they graciously tried to waltz or they hustled or bunny-hopped across the dance floor. This evening of magic held several surprises for participants. For Senior Lynn Adam and her father, the night was quite memorable when Senior Class Co-Chairman Debby Droege placed a sparkling crown on Lynn's head making them King and Queen of the Dance. Another surprise was not so pleasant. When they were ready to leave the dance, Sophomore Mary Ellen Kreutzer and her date discovered that their car had been stolen from where it was parked. By early the next morning, the police had located the car and the Kreutzer's were relieved to learn it was not damaged. That whole episode was a rather unusual ending to a very traditional evening.
