Miss Anna Hendee in bright blue

blue rosettes was all pep and snap

lively and the graceful little dancer
set the pace for the tune. She
pranced around and displayed all
sorts of difficult and catchy steps

Miss Ruth Pettengill looked very
! striking in her Spanish costume of
black lace, velvet and touches of
| color. Her black lace mantilla set
| off her dark beauty and in her dance,

was obliged to respond to an en-

A Modern Toe Dance was n Won

phase of dancing. Marion Smith and
shlrley Clendenning, both from the
