Freshmen Perform While I was sitting there. I watched the vivacious ire'hmen ptrform a series of such dances, with names like "The Old Rustic." "Barn Dance for Three."

"Highland Schottische" and "Half Moon." The "Highland Schottische" is really a thing of wonder as a dancer must concentrate on kicking her leg to the right place, jumping on her other leg in time to the music balancing one arm over her head and keeping Bl« other arm firmly on her waist.

Social Dancing Included I learned later that these folk dances weren't the only types of dancing being done in the freshman gym classes. Some of the classes offer instruction in social dancing. Some freshmen have been taught the fox trot, the waltz, and the Jitterbug. Also they had previously learned the basic fundamentals of modern dance.
