Martha Cook took top honors
last night at the annual Fortnite
production with their presentation
a "A Fall (Staff) Tale."
Their skit depicted the "Beer
Bowl" held at the Pasadena Bell"
"We tried to get all the names of
drinks in it that we could," com-
mented the jubilant Connie But-
ler, director.
Featured in their play was
Shakespeare's Falstaff, who was
at the "Bell" bragging about his
many feats in football. A coed de-
* picting Ron Kramer stated that
the only feet Falstaff saw were
those of the marching band.

with their production of "Cleo
Gets the Clue." Ann Paulen dir-
ected the coeds in this skit.
This skit depicted Cleopatra
lounging on a vivid Red divan
wishing for Anthony. Coeds, dres-
sed in grey bermudas, red sweat-
ers and white blazers, singing to
the tune of "There Is Nothing
Like A Dame," told Cleo various
ways in which she could catch
any man.
Third place was captured by
the women of Helen Newberry
with their presentation of "Frailty
Thy Name Is Woman."

FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS:
Students Learn To Dance
In Co-Recreational Class
i
Jointly taughtby members of
both the men's and women's de-
partments of physcial education,
is a social and square dance class,
the only coeducational gym class
on campus.
This class which meets for one
hour twice a week for a complete
semester, is offered both terms and
has been taught for the past six
years. The group consists of ap-
proximately 50 men and 50 women
students.
Although most students are
rank beginners when they enter
the class, the majority are able to
perform many technical steps by
the end of the semester, according
to Bettye Myers, womens physi-
cal education instructor.
Fundamental Skills
Students are first taught basic
fundamental skills and simple var-
iations in social dancing. Verbal
explanations and then demonstra-
tions are given in the fox trot,
waltz, rhumba, samba and tango.
Lessons are also given in the
mambo and jitterbug, while near
the end of the semester, the class
devotes a few hours to learning the
charleston.
During the middle of the term,
two weeks of square dancing are
also conducted.
Students May Choose
For the final week or two of the
semester, students are given a
choice of what they would like to
do, and most agree that they
would like to learn more variations
of some of the major dances.
Instructors for the course agree
that the main problem of the ma-
jority of students is their lack of
rhythm.
Many can learn the mechanics
without too much difficulty, but
have trouble hearing the basic
beat of the music.
