nineties to "Pseudo Psymphony"

ned on the tentative agenda are
an ice show, several social eve-
nings, skating performances be-
fore each hockey game, movies on

the teaching of several dance steps
while "on the silver blades."
Skating practices and meetings
have been tentatively scheduled
tends," Miss Grimm remarked.

two week period, with one house
performing each night. Now it has'
been condensed to one night.

sions will be held, with the first
one slated for 4 p.m. tomorrow in
