SOCIAL TERMINOLOGY<br />
Talking<br />
Sometimes boy-girl relationships<br />
develop to the point<br />
that they spend quite a bit<br />
of time together: frequently<br />
eat together, sit together<br />
for vespers and church, etc.<br />
They have not formalized<br />
their friendship. Sometimes<br />

amounts of money. However, many girls do wear gowns,<br />
depending on the banquet. Gowns must be approved by the girls’<br />
dean for dorm and village students. When it comes to dress code,<br />

BANQUET TIPS<br />
The banquet theme, cost, and sign-up deadline are always<br />
announced to students during weekly chapel meetings, at least a<br />
