HARVEST MOON FESTIVAL Each Fall the Music School Student Council and the University Student Sen- ate combine to sponsor the Harvest Moon Festival. The Festival has been held each year at Gardencourt where couples par- ticipated in all types of dancing from waltzing to square dancing. Coffee and doughnuts were served during the inter- mission. At the end of the evening a giant bonfire was held with students gathering around for singing. i Conversation and dancing are only two of many facits of the Harvest Moon Festival which made it a delightful evening. Students gather around the fountain during an intermission at the Harvest Moon Festival held at Gardencourt. Cokes and pretzels were served to fill empty stomachs. Since Harvest Moon is held each year about Halloween, a pumpkin head made an appropriate decoration. H915 fi, ,
