As the band, Woodbridge, played, 100 couples danced beneath the mirrored globe which swept starlight across the floor. Punch and cookies were provided as refreshments, and snowflakes decorated the windows of the corridor. Couples stood in line for pictures and brought home their falling stars as memories of a special evening.

Tinsel Turns To Starlight The Horizons Club was an organization of about 110 girls whose theme was involvment with people. They worked to get the students acquainted with and involved with one another. The girls were divided up into several chapters, and each of these groups were involved in many activities of their own. The main events of the club as a whole, were the carnival, the November breakfast, and the formal dance. The carnival was very successful and drew a large crowd. The club members dressed in carnival costumes, with each chapter responsible for a different booth. Features of the carnival proved to be the whipped cream kissing booth, the marriage booth, the minnow swallowing contest, the haunted house and the jail. About 50 sleepy girls showed up for the traditional 6:00 morning get together held at Perkins during the fall. The formal dance was held after Christmas this year on Staurday, January 18, and thus the name was changed from Tinsel Twirl to Starlight. 28 Horizons

6:32 A.M. Breaking all standards of human decency, a sudden loud bzzzzzz has rudely interrupted dreams of vacations and graduation. After staring at the clock through slits (called eyes at other times) it is decided that a few more minutes of rest will do no harm Unfortunately just at that moment good old Mom cheerfully informs you that breakfast is on the table and “You'll miss your bus if you don't get up now. “After styling your hair with deoderant its time to sprint to the bus stop. Thus begins another day. 12:07 P.M. Sexing fruit flies had never been your specialty and after staring at ebonies and miniatures for 20 minutes they all look alike. The other fumes had already intoxicated your partner and you were sinking fast when your specimens begin to wake up and fly around the microscope light. That is at least the unsquished ones were. Those that hadn't made it through the rush looked reminiscent of your mothers homemade chow mein casserole. And of course there is the promise of a 2AM date with your flies. 2:13 P.M. Its been a long, long, long six hours and somehow the thrill of hearing your history teacher relate the events of the 1942 Yugoslavian bank crash has been dulled by the drone of his monotonous voice. The only logical course of action: sleep. Especially since its the easiest way to forget about the English test on Ethan Frome that just didn't quite get studied for. It doesn't really matter however for in just 12 minutes the bell of freedom will ring and with the music of Benny Goodman floating down the hall, 2450 bodies (yours included) will jam down the stairways toward daylight. Until then: Zzzz. 7:46 P.M. “With age comes responsibility said Dad, and consequently you've now joined the working force of America. Wait-ressing at minimum wage and, taking notice of the managers position at all times, its the off time; time to relax and think off all you can buy with your new money. Unfortunately the money goes faster than when you didn't have any. A clicking noise attracts your attention as the group who had asked for seperate checks is dropping the tip in their water glasses icy fingers again. 30 Calender Student's Day
