THE DANCE COMMITTEE The Dance Committee whas just concluded the most entertaining and profitable year since its founding. More dances were sched- uled than ever before, by this committee, The school year, 1952-55 can well be termed the most socially active in the history of Oratory. Not only were there more dances, but all agreed that they were more sociable, and unquestionably, better attended. Most of the credit for tihe success of the social year must, of course, go to the student body, which supported the dances, however, the committee also deserves praise for line man- agement. David Chia as chairman of the decorating committee was responsible for the beautiful and original ornamentation which adorned Newman Hall, on so many occasions. Davids two able assistants, Bill Bentz and john Bol- ton helped in this important work. The dances were run for two purposes, to allow the students to have well chaperoned socials, and also to help raise money for the schools newspaper, the Oratory Echoes. The business end was ably and efficiently managed by john Dwyer, along with the splendid assistance of Fred Esser. The entire dance committee, working as a unit, did all the preparatory work of the dances, decorating, selecting suit- able music, arranging for refreshments :ind other assorted chores. The following pictures of our most popular dances speak for them- selvcs. They are a tribute to the Dance Committee. DICK STEVENS. Cfjzliflllclll of live Dance Cmlmzillee
