Lights Dimmed, Romance Brightened Even Cupid, in «he form of Eric Hojfettler, oppcorcd o« the donee. A delightful combination designed to please the avid seek- ers of today's action os well as those who yearn for the ro- mance of the past was presented on December 3 in the form of When Lights Are Low.

In addition to the television skits, clown diving was also presented, high- lighted by the mother-in-law dive and the horse-and-rider dive, performed by Cliff Hathway and Ric Giebelhauscn.
