Amidst fierce growL'of hungry stomachs the feast was begun, it was rumoiifid that some
people went without food for several days to order to be prepared
for the delicious banquet. This
mouthwatering food included
fried chicken, hot dogs, potato
salad, beans, chocolate cakes,
and soft drinks.
Then everyone lent a hand
in cleaning up and the church
was left in immaculate condition. The banquet was adjourned .
at 7:00 and the well-fed juniors
went to the Shortridge-Broad
Ripple football game.
Stamp, Coin Traders
to Work Again
on November 30
The Stamp and Coin Club of
Shortridge held its first big sale,
last Friday. During this meeting
stamps from the United Nations
and old, new, and mint United
States stamps were for sale to
the pupil who could get his
hands on the stamp volumes
first.
During this meeting one mem-'
ber had a monopoly on the volume of United States stamps. By
the time he had finished with
the volume, he had decided to
buy $13.68 worth of stamps.
The club's treasury was swelled
with the addition of 42 cents
from sales.
Because of the short trading
session last Friday, it was decided that there will be another
meeting and trading-buying session on Friday, November 30.
The student turnout for this
last meeting was remarkable and
an even larger group of students
Is expected for next meeting.

Music Miscellaneous
Has Varied Programs
Do you dig jazz? Does Dave
Brubeck "send" you? Does a
Beethoven sonota make you
dreamy? Do you enjoy folk music, guitars and banjos? Whatever kind of music you enjoy,
you'll find It at Music Miscellaneous. Members of the club
often contribute their talents.
At one meeting, Steve Hawley
and Pat Dunford played the
guitar and banjo and sang many
favorite folk tunes. Last week,
Tammy Fraley entertained
members with a piano piece by
Debussy.
There is something new and
interesting at every meeting.
Anyone who likes music of any
kind will find the Music Miscellaneous meetings, held every
Wednesday at 3:20 in Room 219,
enjoyable and interesting.
Hardwood Turns
Gridiron as Dance
Plans Materialize
Coach Cleon Reynolds' familiar hardwood floor will be entirely redone for the coming
"Irish Stomp" on November 10.
It will be transformed into a
miniature footbaU gridiron for
this 1962 football dance. t
Betsy Buck and Peggy Kohn,
decorations chairmen, were considering growing grass for the
dance, but, upon further inspection of the floor, decided against
turf and will content themselves
with yard lines, goal posts, and
yard markers.
As a safeguard against an untimely rainstorm, a roof of blue
and white streamers will cover
the floor. Thus, if rain does fall,
by some stroke of fate — or a
leaky roof—the gay spirits of
the dancers will not be dampened.
As an omen to insure a good
time for everyone, a large football will be hung from the center of the rafters.
And, as special omens to
frighten away evil spirits, footballs with the names of the players of the varsity team will be
hung around the outer wall.
Keeping the whole affair going at a lively pace wlll be the
Stan Gage Quintet, a local jazz-
pops group. This annual dance,
under the sponsorship of Student
Board, will run from 8:00 til 11
p.m. and will cost $1.75 a couple.
General dance chairmen are
Bob Adams and Hilary Stout.
