Show (Icy, Hide! Did You Dig T7 Thcl Graaazy Dance! Lynn Elton It was October 31, 1953, on a Saturday night, as I stood outside the gymnasium on Westminster campus . As I concealed myself behind the bushes, pulled my cowboy hat down around my ankles, and readjusted my sun glasses, I felt a fiery determination to crack the case tonight. The chief called me on the carpet at 5:30 a. m. to tell me of an underground plot, a revolution. After five fatiguing hours of bantering, I finally knew what he was after the facts, thats all, just the facts. I infiltrated the gym, just in time to prove my point. I was mobbed by a bunch of phonies who thought they could fool me with a get-u- p such as witches, goblins, pirates, and Harry Chuck. I played dumb When I staggered into the scene of the crime, a muffled voice was booming out directions, while the ritual dances began. I joined the crowd, attemptec the mixer dances. Like a coo' cat, I mastered the artistic steps and ended up more mixed-u- p than ever, Five rounds of this', and yours p truly was ready for the barrel. At 9:17 p. m. I headed for the apple cider. After checking the brew for mickey finns, I grabbed a gob-lsandwich, and unobtrusively ate the paper plate. Like the chief once told me, never leave any incriminating vidence. er Still waiting for the wheels to tip their hands, I watched the wierc rythmn take on effect, as the be bop fans began cutting a rug. A 10:50 p. m., the carpet was done shriveled, and the underbeat slowed down to a dreary waltz. From the sidelines, I observed several couples dig out to a referred to as the spook house. I figured it must have been a showdown with the big boss. Whatever he had to say, it must ren-devo- us have been the best, because everyone who had the nerve to return, came back a couple of shades fighter. Even big Steve Jenks got the willies.
