F'I'ER HOURS Scanning the want ads on Wednesdays when the UA News was delivered became habit. Out- side, it was getting warmer and the end of school drew closer with each passing day. Summer was upon us and stu- dents began to dream of suntans, late nights, and free days.

The dance, normally sponsored by the now obsolete Senior Women's Club, was funded through ticket sales and some of the Senior Class Fund.
