iSociaI science' assignment: weekend diversions to ease dail grind In the social science department, homework is no drag. Assignments involve weekend stone and bagel af- fairsf, commonly known as rock and roll revelriesf' The annual Bon-Fire Sock Hop, which kicked off the football season and started the social ball rolling, fired-up the students as well as the sky. This year's Homecoming theme - espionage? No - An Evening in Parisf' Mademoiselles and messieurs, escaping to gay Paris for a taste of the romantic life, danced the night away with music a la John Keats Co. Starting on the basketball court, Winter Carnival Weekend snowballed into a huge success. The fiery five provided hot competition and a scorching victory over Bishop Foley. The flaming finale, the Winter Car- nival Dance, melted into the most formal informality of the year with heavy music by The Kandle. Harboring visions of weekend diversions, Paulites launch into every new week haunted by subtle under- tones of Monday I got Friday on my mindf' ,r i K 'i1iiH!.il T.iii 1

Sodalutys benefit Roundup oorrals St. Paul From his camoudaged outpost beneath the foot- lights, St. Paul's talent scout, Chief Gadabout, proud- ly surveyed a flurry of activity. As Talent Roundup time lassoed the energies of Paulites, Chief Gadabout contemplated the advantages of the Sodality's annual event: not only a Thanksgiving turkey on the tables of twenty inner-city families, but a feather in the headdress of St. Paul tribe. With the first sounds of music, freshmen swiftly proved that the notion of their being bandylegged was pure fallacy. Arms and legs agilely flayed the air in their wild rendition of Step-in-Time. From a merry jingle jump to graceful ballet routines, the sophomore 'fChristmas Dream spangled the stage with bursts of color and animation. Juniors sailed through sixty years of music with grace and humor. The flapper dresses of the 20's, bobby socks of the 40,s, and mini-skirts of the 60's, merged for the total look of great entertainment. Choosing a vaudeville format, seniors performed song and dance routines of Bonnie and Clyde, Swanee, and soul generations' People. The vitality of the class acts and the impressive display of individual ability brought laudatory reviews from the audience and a pleased, salty tear to the eye of Chief Gadabout, who endorsed the Sodality's annual show . . . with no reservations.
