Four vie for presidenc y

Ivar Anderson, air frame and powerplant
major, is running for ASB president. He
attended North Eugene High School and Weber State College. While at Weber State he
was on the safety advisory committee for
the flying club. Anderson's platform:

If I am elected president of the student
body of LCC, there are three main objectives I would strive to accomplish. First,
I would endeavor to bring about even better
communication between the student body and
faculty. This is one of the most important
goals fo attain if student government is to
be effective and functional.
Secondly, I would work to make the transition of our new campus a harmonious experience for the student body and faculty.
Lastly, and probably most important, I
would strive to have certain bachelor
degrees obtainable through LCC. These
'degrees would be in the technical and pro-

I var

I

fessional fields. For example, industrial
technology, aircraft maintenance, and flight
technology. I feel that this is very important
because there are very few schools that
offer these degrees. In the case pf aircraft maintenance, there are no schools
in the Northwest that offer a degree in this
field. Only six do in the entire United
States. To present this idea, I would go
before the board of directors, and the State
Board of Higher Education.
Ivar Anderson
William Armstrong, from Boise, Idaho,
is running for second vice-president. He
attended high school and junior college in
Boise. Bill is an airframe and powerplant
major. His platform:
There are many reasons why I decided to
run for second vice-president of LCC. I
will attempt to discuss only the more important of these.
What motivated m,~ most towards a greater involvement in the activities of LCC
was the helpful and friendly feeling generated by all those associated with the school.
From my experience of others schools, I
know that this cooperative atm:>sphere is not
always present and I would like to have
a greater part in helping such an institution

I'm only going to be at LCC for two years,
so why concern myself with college activities? A good philosophy? To some, m:1ybe
so, but then thinking along the same lines,
I'll only be on earth for about 65 years, so
why concern myself with the functions of the
world?
From the news headlines throughout our
country I would say that the younger generation feels differently about this. Their
problem as I see it, lies not in their desire
to have a better world but rather in their
methods of protest. To throw rocks at a
governmental building will only result in
bruises from ricocheting rocks. But, to
throw words while standing on even ground,
at the people in the building can only bruise
the statutes and cause the advancements
that time deems necessary.
Does it tike experience to protest the
things }'ou feel are wrong, to express ideas,
to make imp·rovements, and or set things
right? Not really. For experience comes
with knowledge and participation, which go
hand-in-hand. You may contain the knowledge of -the world, but without taking part
in what's going on around you and communicating with other people, you may
as well be ignorant.
I urge you, the students of LCC, to make
the most of your education, for only through
effort can you gain results. By taking part
in what's going on now is the first step
in making a new and better world.
' Participating in this college can only
result in participation in the business of
your choice. You are the ones that can
reap the profits or bear the loss. It is your
choice.
Bill Brumback

Long

S. Jam :"is Long: a suppo::-ter of Snoopy
for prestd,~nt, is nnning for el ~ctronfcs
senator. He graduated from North Eug,rno
High School. His platform:
1. To initiate legislation to bring about
more and varied student activities at a more
{il":!ctical level.
2. To start a program '1aving a larger
grass-roots or common m-in participation.
To do this I will set up office hours so
anyone having an opinion can express it
through m~.
3. To see that the ASB funds are spent
for the greatest good for the greatest number.
4. To streamline and make a more efficient student government.

Bill Brumback, an electrical technology
major, is running for ASB president. He
attended Corvallis High School and North
Eugene High School. Bill's platform:

v.p.

keep this individual student contact while
it grows into a bigger and even better future.
As outlined in the constitution, the duties
of the second vice-president (in addition to
assuming the duties of the first vice-president in his absence) is to be director of student activities. This responsibility would
be an excellent opportunity to help in promoting more student participation in all
facets of college life.
I sincerely appreciate your support.
Bill Armstrong

I feel that I can best serve the students
of Lane Community College by serving in
'
the student senate.
I intend to propose and promote activities
that are within the students' interest, but
most important within the students' m:ans.
When we, the students are moved to the new
cam;ms, I will also campaign something for
the students who do not play pinochle or
other forms of card games.
As the senator from the. Language Arts
Division, I am cu~rently working on these
problems, and with your help Iwillcontinue
to do so. Thank you; remember that in order
to support your int~rest, support Bill Denniston on March l.

Craig Clauser, a member of the Awards
and Scholarships committee, is running for
ASB president. He graduated from Granada
High School in Granada Hills, Calif. He is
majoring in m3chanics. He has also attended University of Alaska, Long Beach City
College, American River Junior College and
University of Maryland. His platform:
I'm a candidate for president of LCC.
Next year, the students of LCC will be
faced with trememdous new problems. We
f 1 :t·

Craig
Clouser,
pre si dent
will finally be consolidated in one student
body on a, new campus and entering our
first year of collegiate sports competition.
This calls for the students to take a more
active roll in their student government.
If, elected, I propose to initiate programs
to get the students of LCC more involved
in their student government.
I would also support projects for an improvement in student-community relations.
I believe that this would be very beneficial
to the students of LCC, creating more employment for the students and raise their
status in the community.
Thank you--remember to support your
candidate on March 1--vote for CraigClauser for ASB President.
Craig Clauser

Running un-opposed for first vice-president is Don Hawkins, airframe and powerplant major. He hails from Central Linn
High School in Halsey. His platform:
This coming fall there will be some of·
us returning to school and some will have
already finished school. We are going to need
new people, reliable students to replace the
present student body officers.
We are going to need new and better ways
of helping you and I to get a stronger
voice in the school year, 1968-69.
LCC is one of the greatest community
colleges in Oregon. We have a new cam-

Don
Hawkins,
first

v.p.

pus with better facilities and I'm sure we
are going to have m:>re room to park our
cars.
March is the m'Jnth for elections and who
are you going to vote for.
We have some intelligient and fully qualified students running for student body
offices . Some of them are your friends
and some you don't even know. But one
thing for certain--we want good representation, right? It's going to be hard to replace the present student body officers because they have done an outstanding job.
I am running for first vice-president and
if you vote for m9 and I am elected I'll
do my best to keep LCC as great as it is.
So get out and vote to make this an election to remember.
Don Hawkins

Marsh Johnson, radio broadcasting major. is running for ASB president. He is
a graduate of South Eugene High School
and is a member of the Campus Planning
Committee. Marsh also serves as announcer
and sports editor for KLCC radio station.
His platform:
I am not running for president for my
own stature. I consider the stature aspect
of student body office secondary, for to serve
for your fellow students and to represent
you, your opinions, interests and ideas, is
foremost.
In the student interest at this time are
intercollegiate athletics, OCCSA, the new
campus, finance, divisional development
and a more representative student government, where those who want to be involved
can be. Obviously I can't state all my views
on all of these, but athletics, OCCSA and
a more representative student governm,:nt

Johnson ·,
president
are the most important and should be discussed at some length.
The Student Senate has really done a fine
job in promoting and establishing an athletic policy. I will continue to support LCC
sports and extra-curricular activities. Student~ at LCC need outlets to relax and have
some sort of enjoyment away from their
studies.
OCCSA is the most powerful and important
student organization in the state. I support
this organization because of its purpose and
course of action in the past. Because of its
past history, the OCCSA shows a great
amount of potential representation for the
student on a statewide basis.
Next year the new campus will undoubtedly present new problems as well as doing
away with the problems of communicating
between the th-ree campuses today. To ignore these problems as well as the coming
blessing would be murderous to me as well
as my fellow students.
To be frugle can sometimes produce hard
feelings, but then again a leader must consider the good it goes for the entire student
body. I believe that if it is in the m,~ans
of the student body, that better and more
widely spread services should be provided for the students.
Divisional development comes with the
interest shown by the respective senators.
I will attempt to show the new senators their
roll in representation as well as their responsibility to the whole student body.
With all the preceding comments; their
consideration and initiation, I hope LCC
can be a better place to learn, not only
the hard facts of the textbooks, but also the
knowledge of knowing fellow man.
When March 1 rolls around there comes
a tim,~ of responsibility of the student to
pick his leaders and representative~ no matter who they be. REMEMBER, VOTE for
YOUR EXPERIENCED and QUALIFIED candidate MARCH 1.
Marsh Johnson

Heart or hardware?

For nearly two weeks Americans have watched
our winter Olympic team fall down and fall
short of national expectations. Only Peggy
Flemming and Terry McDermott came through to
any degree. Ski coach Bob Deattie has had to
explain everything from a skier's stomach
cramps to why a skier was hit by another competitor while watching a race. No doubt team
members will come home feeling somewhat ashamed and the public will add to their burquestions like "What happened,
den with
Kidd?", and "Did you lose your hustle, Hassell?"
If one would only consider the finishes of
our countrymen in with the total representation, one would find we did well. Also a national consideration is the ability, practice·
and character it takes to be a member of such
a team. These athletes are borderline to
being professionals. They have as an incentive the concept of contributing to the nation. No school to do or die for, no prize
money to shoot for. They rely solely on personal satisfaction for reward.
As an example, in high school I was asked•
to attend a tryout for the Pittsburgh Pirates
baseball:system. I was an all-stater in news
polls as an outfielder and I thought I was

good. I was. I went into the park at Prosser, Washington with shoes and glove in hand
and by chance I had entered through the
stands. There were about 60 valley athletes
around the field and as I watched them catch,
made
throw and hit I was mildly awed. They
my best look routine. Rather than prove what
I now knew, I watched from the stands .- and
went home to eat crow about my professed abilities.
The caliber of athletes I encountered at
Prosser could represent perhaps a cross-section of talent comparable to that of the Olympic team. When our athletes come home from
France, they should not be judged by the hardware they have won or not won, but by the effort and time they have donated to represent
you Americans in a foreign land. On to Mexico City.--Hugh Davis.

VOTE March 1

With 3tudent body elections one week away
it seems there is competition only for the
office of president. While four candidates
are vying for the "favorite son" position,
two people have filed for second vice-president. There is one lone candidate for first
vice-president, one for language arts senator
and one for electronics senator. No one has
even indicated an interest in running for recording secretary, corresponding secretary oi
treasurer, let alone the other senatorial
positiqns.
At least you know as much as The Torch.
Each candidate is listed on page one with his
The
platform and picture (if available).
Torch received an extra photo of all students
who had their pictures taken for The Titan,
which we use.
Remember--you have the opportunity to elect
your ASB officers for next year. Take advantage of this opportunity and VOTE March 1.-Charlotte Reece.

Party fun
To the Editor:
I would like to express my sincere thanks
and appreciation to everyone responsible for
the party Friday night, Feb. 16. These kinds
of parties are excellent for students getting
to know other students and also members
of the staff, which I think is important to
an institution such as LCC.
The editor of The Torch was kind enough
to invite me to this party even though I
am not a member of any of the groups the
party was given for. It was great, and I
had the time of my life. I'm sure everyone
else attending had as much fun.
Sincerely,
Lorelei A. Vaughn

To the Editor:

The Torch staff hosted a party Friday,
Feb. 16, on the Bethel campus for all communications departments.
It might surpise you to know that over
forty people attended the party. I might
add that in comparison to the dance last
Saturday, Feb. 10, it must have been a
really big show. It seems ridiculous that
people would rather go to a free-for-all
than a lovely semi-formal dance. But then
again there was a slight difference of $4.
I think that a big thank-you should go to
Joann Gibbs for her time and effort in organizing the party.

Q: WILL LCC BE ADDING ANY NEW PROGRAMS OR COURSES NEXT FALL?

A: The College Budget Committee is presently considering our request that money
be included in the 1968-69 budget for seven
new occupational programs and 25 additional
college transfer course. The 14 citizens on
the Budget Committee m2t Feb. 7 and they
will meet again on March 6 and April 3
to continue studying our budget proposals.
A public hearing on the budget is scheduled
for May l; then the tax levy to balance the
budget will go before the voters on May 28.
If the Budget Committee approves the budget and the voters approve the tax levy,
we will start two-year programs in these
areas Fall Term of 1968: Associate Degree
Nursing (R.N.), Dental Hygiene, Mid-Managem?nt (Business), Two-Year Secretarial,
Two-Year Accounting, Welding Technology,
and Building Materials Management. Stu dents interested in entering any of these
programs should contact the Registrar's
Office immediately to indicate interest.
Some of the programs are already filling
up.
Here are the new courses which we propose adding to the present 65 college transfer courses: Social Psychology, Human
Developm,?nt and Individual Differences,
Human Relations, Geology, Elem?ntary Calculus, Organic Chemistry and Quantitative
Analysis, Inorganic Chemistry, English Literature, Professional Activities, Clothing
Construction, Clothing Selection, Textiles,
Introduction to Homf~ Economics, Consumer
Finance.
LCC's operating expenses are expected to
rise about 40 per cent next college year.
However, the present per-student operating
cost of $943 will remain the same for the
next year. Moving to the new campus and
preparing for a 40 per cent increase in
size of the student body will be expensive. We
expect 4,135 full-time equivalent students
(14,000 individuals) during 1968-69. The College will be in a tight squeeze financially,
but we' re confident the Budget Committee
will fund the instructional program as outlined above. Student and staff held in securing a favorable tax levy vote on May 28
is needed.
For additional details about the 1968-69
proposed budget, consult the proposed 196869 Budget Document. Copies are available
at the Eugene, Bethel and Springfield campus libraries.

The gift of fine jewelry is always
welcomed by men and women of every age group. This is truly one item
that can be called a "luxury". Of
course, this is what every gift should
be; a special rem,~mbrance that is
outside the ordinary realm of merchandise that people buy for themselves through necessity.
While a woman may from a practical standpoint need a new dishwasher, she will happily (and more
romanticaliy) continue using the old
one if she has the m?m'.>ry of receiving a beautiful diamond piece instead. And today, with the stability
and growth of the precious gem market, the donar has the added pleasure
of knowing that his gift is of an "investment'' nature--a commodity
that does not easily depreciate or
"break down" like appliances.
Our young have already acquired
a love and appreciation for fine
things. For them: a gift of fine jewelry is a delightful surprise. Teenagers currently would like receiving
karat gold earrings for pierced ears,
bangle bracelets, and charms. Precious gem pendants are another good
jewelry idea for women of every

a5e.

Fish, aqu aria

Story and layout by
DEBBIE JO BRIGGS,

Titan editor

The $250 life-center present in the science
lab on the Bethel campus was financed by a
federal grant. "It provides living animals
for observation by students," said Richard
Fraga, assistant professor of science, who
was instrumental in obtaining the equipment
and animals.
The equipment consists of two 20 gallon
aquariums containing a good variety of tropical fish with an additional tank containing a
lone crayfish.
"We tried to get as many unusual types as
possible," Fraga commented.
The fish range from an eel-like loach who
is occasionally seen peeking through the
grains of gravel on the bottom to the upsidedown catfish who doesn't seem to mind which
end is up. Also included are angel fish,
various members of the barb family, a quartet
of marbled hatchet fish and a male Betta or
Siamese fighting fish.

BLUE GOURMI ADDS delicate color to the selection
of fishes.

BLUE CATFISH PROVES TO be an excellent scavenger for the two tanks of fish.

upset

Beavers · by 1
Feb. 14, Valentine's Day, has always been
a good day for those young at heart and in
love. This past Feb. 14, we can only assum,~
was just as good. There is one thing that
can definitely be said about this certain
Valentine's Day. It was a helluva day for
basketball.
At least it was according to members
of the Freshly Brewed Coffee intramural
basketball team. The Coffee startled the
first place Springfield Beavers with a
hustling man-to-man defense, and knocked
the Beavers from the ranks of the ttnbeated
with a narrow 44 to 43 fifth round victory.
The Coffee offense, ranked fifth in the
league, after sputtering through the first
three quarters, exploded for 18 points in the
final eight minutes to gain the margin of
victory. The ~xplosion used as its supply
of fireworks five of the six Coffee firecrackers. Coffee captain Gene Cogburn
led the scorers with five ·counters. Mike
Davis and Mike Dalaney, the game's top
scorer, each got four points. Mike Lann
with three points and Bill White with two
points contributed to the balanced Coffee .
scoring total.
The fourth quarter Coffee point production
made up for a disastorous second quarter,
when the Beaver defense allowed the Coffee the lead they had held from the game's
beginning, when Rick Foster scored a 15
footer with just 20 seconds gone. The Coffee had built a 12 to eight lead over the
Beavers in the first quarter before the
Beavers put the clampers on the FBC's.
Alan Gee and Tom Anderson each scored
jumpers at the end of the first quarter to
tie the score at 12 all at the first break.
The Beaver offense continued to roll through
•the second quarter but it was over five
minutes before the Coffee could penetrate the Beaver dam around their basket
and score. By that time the Beavers had
a comfortable nine point, 23 to 12 lead.
The Coffee quickly rushed in five points
before the quarter's end to bring the halftime total to 23 to 17. Spunky Hugh Davis,
with six driving points, led the Beavers
through their big quarter.
The. team battled on even terms through
the third period, as each put nine points
on the board. Then came the eventful fourth
quarter. The Beaver offense managed 11
points through the final eight minutes, but
it was no match for the Coffee's ste~m.

South Eugene found itself on the outside
looking in. And Thurston found out what it
is like with a view from the top. This was
all resulting from Thurston's 84 to 47
fifth round victory over the second-place
South.
The Thurston win, coupled with the fifth
round defeats of co-leaders Sheldon and the
Springfield Beavers, moved the Colts into
a lofty first place tie with the two teams. The
defeat shattered all of South's hopes for the
title.
The Colts discovered against the FBC's
that their high scoring center Roger Poe was
not a necessity for victory and proved it
Monday night, Feb. 12, as the Thurston team
moved to an easy victory with Poe absent
from the line up.
The scoring slack created by the absence
of Poe was quickly taken up by Mike Fullerton, as the booming Thurston guard pushed in ~4 poihts, an all-time high' for the
intramural season. In all, five of the Colts
hit for double figures, as the balanced offense proved too m1.1ch for the outmanned
Axeman.
The South team did have one good quarter,
the fourth, wben they outscored the Colts
25 to 18:But it was by far too late, as
Thurston had built up a 66 to 22 lead through
three .quarters. Fullerton, with 22 first half
points, led the attack. Don Miles contributed 20 points to the Colt cause, with 12
of them coming. in at the charity stripe.
The Thurston offense wasted little time
in putting South on the ropes, as they
scored 23 points in each of the first two
and Miles
periods. Besides Fullerton
contributed substantially to the Thurston offensive output through the first half. While
the Thurston offense was getting their 45
first half points, the South offenders could
manage only 15 against the tough Thurston
man-to-man defense.

All-star s
vs. faculty

Can the real "Hondo Hodges", better
known as Cecil Hodges, P. E. department
head, hold down the great all-star center
Roger Poe to less than 50 points? It sounds
like a great head-to-head battle, although
one head has a little more hair than the
other one.
All these questions will be answered
Thursday Feb. 29 at 8 p.m. in the Bethel
gym. The occasion is the first annual intramural all-star vs. faculty basketball game.
Radio station KLCC, in conjunction with
tqe intramural council and the Torch sports
staff, is sponsoring the contest. KLCC will
broadcast the game live, _so if you can't
make it, listen in, or bring your transistor radio. There will be no admission to
this game of the century.
Mel Krause, intramural director, is in
charge of organizing the faculty team, and
will be its floor captain. Krause is well
known for his basketball exploits. Harvey
Dolan of KLCC is the organizer of the
game idea. He will handle the radio end of
things and will broadcast the game with
color supplied by Steven Harper. The
sports staff of The Torch is in charge of
organizing the intram11ral team and is
printing a ballot in this week's paper. But
one editor was overheard saying, "We will
not need much to beat those old men."
All of the cheerleading duties will be
handled by the charming females of the
publications staffs. (I can see it now. Mrs.
Betty Ekstrom and Debbie Jo Briggs with

Participation is the most important thing
in intramural basketball. Roger Poe may
learn the hard way. The Thurston center did
not play in the fifth round, and thus lost
his once invinceable scoring title lead. Two
others hc1;ve moved ahead of Roger, leaving
him in third.
That select group of players that has
scored more than 10 points per outing has
increased by one, the number now 12. A
pair of new comers now enter the top ten
race. A pair of second division players,
Del Mann and Jeff Etchison, now average
the 10 plus. Mann, the South Lane guard,
jumped from nowhere to number eight on
the list. North Eugene's Etchison squeezes
on the list at number 10.
Dave Naessens, second a week ago, and
Mike Fullerton, are now both ahead of Poe
in the race for the point title. Fullerton,
with a season' high of 34 points last week,
moved from the fourth spot to runner-up
behind Naessens.
John Barge, who led the Bethel upset
over Sheldon, continues to ID'Jve up on the
list. He now stands fifth, after being absent
from the roster three weeks ago.

South Lane finally wins
South Lane is winless no more. The
league's worst ranked offense and defense
had produced a winner.
South had that Valentine's Day spirit
on their side, as they narrowly defeated
North Eugene 70 to 68, for their first
victory of the season. Four Highlanders
reached double figures in the scoring column but the balanced-point attack was no
match for the fast breaking Del Mann of
South Lane, as Mann streaked for 25 points
and the South victory.

New Look Bethel wins
While the Bethel intramural basketball
team showed up with a few new faces, the
Sheldon Irish made a few faces themselves.
They were m:>stly faces of disgust, as the
Bethelites gained the first real upset victory
of the intramural basketball season by a
score of 69 to 45. The Bethel victory
knocked Sheldon from the ranks of the unbeated and into a share of the fifth round
league lead. The Irish did regain their share
of the lead when the Beavers fell also in the
fifth r ound of play, but not their pride, as
they were soundly thrashed by the last place
and until then, winless Bethel team.
This was not the Bethel team that had lost
four previous gam11s. With the notable addition of Wayne Wadinzak and Mike Wilkerson, Bethel came up with a combination that
ripped 24 second-quarter points, and all
Sheldon's hopes for an undefeated season.
The 24 point-second quarter capped a
dynamic first half Bethel drive that saw
them move to a 41 to 18 halftime lead. Sheldon's offense, the league's second best, and
Sheldon's defense, the league's very best,
were both shattered, with the Bethel newcomers leading the way. Wadinzak scored
10 points and Wilkerson scored six and was
instrumental in Bethel's control of the backboards, to complement the 17 first-half
points produced by Bethel captain John
Barge.
The halftime rest was a help to Sheldon
but it was only helpful enough to bring the
Irish up to the pace of the Bethel squad.

third quarter, as each team put 14 points
on the board. Sheldon's high-scoring foreward Ken Tannler held to two first-half
points, came back to put eight on the board
in the second half.
Sheldon outscored Bethel eight to two
in the last two minutes of play, but the rally
was worthless, as Bethel increased their

outscoring Sheldon 14 to 13 through the last
eight minutes to produce the 69 to 45 final

South Lane led for the entire game, but
a 25 point fourth quarter by North Eugene
made it a close exciting game at the end.
North was down by 10 points at the end of
three quarters, but came back on a 10
point fourth quarter performance by Ron
Keebler. Six points by both Jeff Etchison
and Chuck McGee aided the Highlande~
drive in the fourth. A 24-pointperformance
by Soutb in the third quarter, however,provided enough cushion for the victory.
North stayed close to the fastbreaking
Lane team through the first half, and
trailed only by four at 29 to 25 at the second quarter break. A poor offensive showing of 10 first quarter points made the
game an uphill battle offensively for the
Highlanders.
South, meanwhile, got point help from
Doug Putchler, who added 17 to the South
Lane total.
While Putchler and Mann were the only
Laners to go in doubles, Keebler, with 14,
Etchison with 15, MeGee with 13 and Gordy
Kaufman with 10 points were all in doubles
for North.
North finishes out its season with a pair
of tough battles. The first is against the
rapidly perking Freshly Brewed Coffee,
and the second is the traditional South Eugene contest at the end. South Lane will go
against powerful Thurston in its last outing, after battling against powerful Thurston
in its last outing, after battling the Coffee
reheated after the North contest.

Dance
Story by

DOUG BENNETT
Do you want to take a fun class where no
experience is necessary? Well then, contemporary dance is for you. There are 25
students in the class now which m ~ets
om
ursday af e noons
ay a
2 to 3:30 p.m.
Mrs. Brubaker said, "Contemporary
dance is an art form in which m:)Vem,~nt
is consciously used to express ideas, feelings, and emotions for their communication.
Contemporary dance is not just the learning of dances or dance techniques, but •
rather, more an exploration of m:>Vement
that leads to creative expression."
Held in the Bethel gym, the class has no
prerequisites. It is offered for both men
and women, each of whom seem to take the
course for a different reason. All students
learn to dance, ~owever, each student seems
to try to achieve his own secondary results.
Expression by m,~ans of movement is one
thing the class teaches. You don't have to
be a pansy to take the course. Many athletes have taken dance to gain more coordination.
Mrs. Brubaker's experience includes two
years dance in Muncie, Indiana; private
instruction in Muncie, Gary, Indiana, and
also in Eugene, Oregon. She is also a m9mber of several dance clubs, and has attended
summer workshop and a master lesson
taught by Charles Weidman.
Mrs. Brubaker would like to see more
students sign up for the class, because it
is fun and everyone can learn from it.
