IT WAS A DRIZZLING Saturday afternoon in early October and the marquee at the Palais Royale read Notre Dame Victory Dance Tonight. To thousands of ND students it seemed as though there had always been a Victory Dance on Saturday nights during the football season. It was fast becoming a tradi- tion. But this night it was different, for by dance time the marquee looked somehow starkly naked, something was missing . . . yes, some- thing was missing alright because the marquee now read simply, ND Dance. Though the name had to be changed, and eventually was resolved to being called Student Council Dance, the Saturday night affairs suf- fered little in quality this year. In fact, it was the opinions of most of the campus old-timers that 1950-51 provided the best informal dance program ever. The truly enjoyable evenings that these events offered can be directly attributed to the fine, danceable melodies of Gene Hull and his Letter- men. In three years of playing Gene and his boys had attained a certain polish which made dancing to their tunes have that name band feeling. Throughout the year the Student Council di- rectly ran these informal dances, pleasant diver- sions and a break from the strain of college work. A series of informals were presented dur- ing the fall on the football Saturdays, ending with a Gridiron Finale in early December. After the Christmas vacation the dance series was once again started, and continued until the beginning of Lent. The affairs were picked up on the social calendar with the coming of spring, and carried through until the year ' s end. Guess that wonderful music by Gene Hull and the Lettermen really sends you --look what it did to fellow on right. Wish the photog had taken pic from other side of table, after all we see enough of MEN around here. Steady girl, remember it ' s wiser not to best your date. A coke, breather and a little conversation between dances up on Palais ' balcony.
