Chairman Joyce Lappetito and her Miner seem h escort Ed appy at the way the Mission dance is progressing. . . . or to trip ii' on the iight, fantastic toe Just before Thanksgiving, the CSMC unit of St, Agnes sponsored a dance. This proved a rel- atively painless way to focus attention on the Mis- sions and to raise money for their needs. The girls and their escorts who descended into Corpus Christi Hall found it transformed with orange and yellow festoons, and balloons. Chrysanthemums and corn- stalks gave an atmosphere of Fall and harvest. Everyone who danced seemed willing to pay the fiddler for the Missions. Intermission time offers a chance to rc new acquaintances and perhaps talk over a coming football game. At least that looks like what Marilyn Judson a d B ' and h ' ' n etty Schwind t eir escorts might be doing. Tickets are taken at the door by Patricia Flynn and Christine Vogt from Mary Keating and Richard Turner, Margaret Fancy and Norman Schott N Manners are remembered as girls introduce their escorts to the chaperones. Yvonne Mas seau introduces Tommy Recine to Mr. and Mrs. Albert Preiss, Nancy Mahoney does the same to her escort ihiddenl To Mr. and Mrs. Pasl-:al while Betty Schwind waits her turn.
