Folk Daxce Group The Folk Dance Group is composed mainly of seniors and freshmen, so the program represented a variety of dances and abilities. The study of Ha- waiian hulas was continued. In addition to Heeia and Little Brown Gal, Songs of Old Hawaii and Oni Oni E were added to the repertoire. The seniors also revived the Slavic Dances, Cherkessia, Hopak, Csebogar, and Venjierka, while the two juniors did solo Morris dances of England, Old Mother Oxford, and the intriguing Bacca Pipes, danced over long churchwarden clay pipes. The freshmen began the season with three EngUsh dances, Guis Gisburn Processional, Thady You Gander, and Haste to the Wedding. In the second term, both juniors and freshmen learned two new dances, The Mexican Dance of the Old Men and the Irish Jig. Ten recitals were given during the college year by the group for the Servicemen ' s Social Center, Newark; the New Jersey Physical Education Asso- ciation Convention, Hotel Pennsylvania, New York; the Christmas Festival and the St. Patrick tea at the college; the State Convention of the New Jersey Business and Professional Women ' s Clubs; and for the assembly programs of Millburn, Irvington, and Rutherford High Schools. Claire Meyers is president of the club.
