THE famous Roman orator, Cicero,
once asserted, "No man 1n his senses will
dance. "
Are we to believe the implication by this
learned Latin scholar, or shall we disprove his
deduction by casually mentioning the rapt
attendance of the Charles Hall Lounge Dances
by both day and night students!
Should it happen to be the celebration of a
victory game in sports, the birthday of St.
Valentine, or perhaps a Mixer Dance, the display
of enthusiasm reveals the occasion with
symbolic decorum, transforming the studious
atmosphere of the Lounge during the schoolweek
to the gala environment typical of a
Saturday night dance. Dimly-lit candles supply
the necessary artificial moonlight to grace
the shadowed columns in the spacious lounge.
he "natural" dance floor and the soft strains
of a familiar tune provide the tempting invitation
to students to forget the cares and worries
of the school day, and make the most of this
appy evening (for Monday's class will soon
e here!).
So perhaps the Cicero of the long ago would
e willing to amend his original statement if
he could drop in at one of the dances and perceive
so many students registered on the Dean's
list tripping the light fantastic with as much
grace and finesse as they achieve their .. A' ,
lverages.
