Green 81 Gold, Compass Dance Very Successful Sanitation Night was this yearas theme of the Green and Gold Dance which is tra- ditionally put on by Student Council. The Dance capped off a week full of Freshman orientation activities. Student Council lead paper drives, can drives, and keep the school clean drives during this week. Though this did not rerne- dy the age old problem of ecology on the campus of Saint Monica, the dance was a tremendous success. The yearbook staff initiated a dance which was known as the Compass Annual Costume Ball. The dance was given a week after Halloween while traces of ghosts and hobgoblins were still in the air. A price re- duction was given to those students wear- ing costumes. And so they came: clowns, cavemen, birds, and rag dolls. Prizes were given out to the various chosen costumes. The prize was a yearbook. Not bad, huh? It survived the trial of a f'first and proved to be a Hnancial and social success.
