As the last strains of the song came from the large black speakers they humed from the field. The dances were as varied as the grade levels in the school as nearly 700 students performed for onlookers on the field behind the elementary school. Many grandparents were among the throng praising their progenitors. stuDozens of third-grad- e dents flapped wings and wiggled their hips as their yellow bills and big eyes bobbed up and down to the Birdie Dance.
