With a maximum of four socials a yeai' many Freshmen do not get sufficient practice in the art of dancing. What was the result? There was always a stag line of Freshmen. What was to be done about this situation? A Soph by the name of Donald QGeorgeD Stehle had a brain storm one day out of which issued the sensational idea of conducting a dancing studio three times weekly. If the practice of EACH ONE TEACH ONE is kept up it will diminish the garden of wall flowers at social gatherings not to mention the good fellowship which this practice promotes. Music has always played an important part in the life of our student body. The present year witnesses this activity reaching new heights. The faculty has expanded existing musical organizations and new ones have been launched. In addition to the more formal programs presented by those of us with musical aspirations, systematic instruc- tion in ballroom dancing was introduced this year. Its purpose is to assist those desiring to learn to dance. This facility enables a greater number of our students to be active participants in the various socials heldat different times throughout the school year. '37 ' 10 x ,Q .an ' i . .rf .
