May Dance Tomorrow Night
“Where are you going?” cried
the man from France.
The LC students replied,
"Where else? To the May
Day Dance!”
The girls will wear a long or
short dress,
When they get in at 1:00 A.M.
their flowers they’ll press.
The hour of 1:00 is unusually
late,
But the dance ends at 12 and
begins at 8.
To the music of the swingin’
Grandeurs the students will
be shakin’.
While out in the lobby pictures
will be taken.
The dance will be held in the
gym on May 4,
Beckham’s giving the goodies,
we can always go back for
more.
Judy Babcock heads the com
mittee of refreshments,
Sorry, nothing stronger than
peppermints!
Renee Bancroft is taking charge
of decorations.
Of course, they’ll meet every
one’s expectations.
Sarah Haynes heads the publi
city committee
For lack of a word to rhyme
with committee. I’m throwing
a gittee!
Bob Schwartz secured the band-
a swingin’ sensation,
The dance also includes the
May Court presentation.
Pens were sold by the fresh
man class to help pay for
this May Day dance.
“But who sold the most pens?”
questioned the man from
France.
Webb and Goldman sold the
most.
We’re proud of them, so we’ll
boast.
The man from France took a
.firm stance, and shouted to
the students of Louisburg
Mall,
“Come one, come all, this May
Day Dance will be a ball!
