This was the un animous opinion of the crowd of from 200 to 250 which at tended the gala affair Friday evening. After weeks of burning sun and no rain, one and one- half hours before the biggest outdoor dance of the season, clouds opened up and poured rain on the concrete dance floor. Lightning struck and broke the telephone wire at the Southern Pacific Railway Station across the street from The Grove, and sparks shot out of the switch box controlling the lights at The Grove platform. As rain continued to pour, Pete Carson, dance decoration committee chairman, remarked cynically, “Looks like we may be glad we brought that boat I” When the rain slacked at 7:30 p. m., Carson and his committee, composed of Allen Pengelly, Darwin Hodges, Mar cus Kerr, Bill Block, Don Martin and Bill Morley quickly converted the rain-drenched stage into a pirates’ cove, com plete with a moss-covered boat, yards of rope “rigging” and colored banners. Benches were hurriedly pushed back, and the committee manned brooms, pushing water off the slab, allowing it to dry. At 8 p. m. C. G. “Spike” White, dressed as a cast-away, joined the industrious crew. He added dancers’ wax to the concrete, and with members of the Aggieland Combo, greeted the largest crowd of the season at The Grove. Raymond and Jo Ann Hampton, A-7-D College View, were early- arrivals. Raymond, a tall, lean, sophomore CE major, dressed as a tall, lean sailor in a uniform which appeared to have come through at least three wars. Jo Ann was attired in a rtgged skirt and blouse, the mode of the evening. Double-dating with the Hamptons were Bob and Yyonne Vaughn of C-7-Z College View; Yvonne in a man’s pajama top, and Bob, wear ing a white shirt, hat and a tie—and red and white stripped shorts! Rom and Peggie Young attended the dance as a badly-tattered beach comber and a sarong-wrapped island maiden. Rom is a senior Ag Ed major and Peggie was a finalist in the “Mrs. Texas A&M Contest.” Frank Manitzas, waterfront4 ; thug, emceed the costume contest. Between laughs, the judges, Mrs. Donald Burchard, Mrs. Ann Hil liard, Tom Rountree, Dean C. C. French, and President M. T. Har rington undertook the difficult task of choosing among the well- costumed guests for winners. After careful deliberation, La- verne and Jim Griffith were cho sen best-dressed couple. Jim, wear ing a white stiff-front shirt and string tie, and no (pardon the ex pression) pants, and his petite wife, in a hoop-skirted nylon petticoat (shades of “Gone With the Wind!”) were adjudged the winners.

His diminuitive wife, Carolyn, wore plaid pantaloons, ruffled just be low the knee. Prizes were two decks of playing cards and' a “sit-anywhere” ash tray for the Griffiths, Aggie belt buckle for Bill, and a heart-shaped compact for Cresta. A mild sensation of the evening was a towel-draped lass from Lamar High School in Houston. Aggies, her name is Barbara Pot ter, but George Johnston, senior at Consolidated High School, saw her first. A gay foursome at the dance was composed of Barbara and George, both attired in towels, and Sara Puddy and Jerry Layton, who wore miped - up pairs of men’s pajamas.
