'itycUlaeueeK The inimitable style of our master of ceremonies, Conrad Graham, guest speakers, Dr. Hyde and Raymond Spear, and the famous Hallo-Weenies were largely responsible for the success of the traditional Halloween Banquet. The originality and ingenuity of the costumes selected by the faculty and students added a certain spirit to the banquet that was felt by everyone attending. Following the banquet, the witches jamboree held in Rounds Hall climaxed an enjoyable evening for all.

One of the highlights of our Senior sponsored social gatherings was the never-to-be-forgotten Club 52. We inherited this idea from the Class of 1951; however, this year we added more atmosphere then the previous clubs have ever enjoyed. The setting of the club was in Harlem with all its colorful and exciting atmosphere. We initiated the idea of having spontaneous entertainment with no master of ceremonies to introduce the entertainers who merely sauntered to the bar between dances, as a customer would, to be picked up by the spotlight. Guests were entertained by sultry songstresses, baritones, fascinating dancers, guitar specialists, cakewalkcrs, and many more talented people including waiters, bartenders, and the orchestra with its vocalists.
