those were:
/. To teach those who do not
know how to dance.
2. To further proper etiquette
on the dance floor.
8. TO permit no wall flowers.
Since the beginning of this activ-
ity there has not been conscious
effort toward these much desired
goals. Therefore the real benefits
Of this Social Hour have not been
realized.
I make this appeal to you, the
others on the committee and the
students. Strive owards these goals
and obtain them! This activity is
the best one that has ever struck
Smyrna School because it is set up
by the students, enjoyed by the
students, and benefit of the stu
dents is derived from it.
Unless we obtain the goals be-
fore us, 1 have been informed,
from a very good source, that this
Social Hour will not be continued.

two selections, Light of Bethle-
