After the couples had been seated, host Steve Romines opened the Banquet with a cordial welcome and a Merry Christmas to all. Following an invocation by John Snider, 1967-68 A.S.B. President, dinner was served. From the old fashioned Swiss steak to the deepdish apple pie, the food satisfactorily filled the Vanguard connoisseurs, and left them bulging and content. As the last morsels of dessert were being scraped, the instrumental section of tlie BOB SHEPHARD CHOFIALE moved to their appointed positions to warmup. After a slight delay, the choral group took their places before the audience and sang a package of Christmas favorites including The Little Drummer Boy and a special and entertaining arrangement of Silent Night , featuring a solo violinist. The performers were given a short intermission during which President Budge and Dean Cawston were presented with gifts from the student body. The traditional Delta Kappa ceremony tapped seniors Mel Ming and Kathy Plunkett, and Dean Cawston revealed four prospective nuptials. In concluding the evening ' s entertainment, the Shephard Chorale offered a secular packet beginning with It ' s a Big Wide Wonderful World and including In Them Old Cotton Fields Back Home , By the Time I Get to Phoenix , Born Free and many others. They finally closed the night ' s performance with a packet of sacred music arranged for a contemporary audience with such songs as A Reason to Be , Tlie Lord is My Shepherd , and the final stirring selection of Behold He Cometh . The banquet had progressed into the late hours of the night and as the fantasy of Disneyland faded, the couples made out their own way back to the dorms for one last day of classes before Christmas vacation. 55
