This dance was the first of its kind that was ever held in Valier. The dance was sponsored by the Valier Student Council Association. There were 95 students and six teachers computed. Those computed filled out questionnaires on their personal selections as an ideal date. The question- naires were sent to Boston to be computed. We received the person ' s number card back and a list of Ideal Dates. Some had as many as 15 and as few as one. Mr. Sindelar was the most popular boy, and Rick Geiger was the most popular girl. The dance was a smashing success, and I hope this will become an annual event. Student Council President Ross Racine Computer Dance I can ' t find Him, Can you?
