The junior class, trying to get a head start financially on their senior class gift, organized a sale of brandy snifters, on which there is the VES
emblem. The money raised this year as well as next year will go for new plaques in the main hall, adding to the ones there already. Junior Class President Lee Leckie said that school response was pleasing. Toward the end of May, the glasses are expected to arrive.

Seventy-Five Girls Come for Dance
Leaving the bus, St. Catherine girls wait to meet their dates.
On April 20 the School played host to girls from Chatham Hall and St. Catherine's School at a dinner- dance. From Chatham came Tal- midhe Ragan, Walker Johnson, Kit Ivey, Mary Norris Preyer, Katie Carl- son and Rebecca Brown. St. Cath- erine's dates included Katie Blood, Jean Alston, Lee Lucas and Brantley
Bolling.
After the girls' arrival, there was a buffet dinner. The Slater staff deco- rated the dining room with party paper foldouts. Candelight and soft jazz contributed to an appropriate atmosphere.
A local band, the Dantes, provided the entertainment for the dance. Psy- chedelic strobe lights and the warm
spring evening added to the success.
