CAMPUS HILIGHTS
On March 29th S.U.A.T.I. was
filled with the sound of music,
and the campus was really rock-ing.
For this was the night of
the Jazz Concert presented by
Liatins. It was scheduled for
the preceeding week, but due to
unfavorable weather conditions
it was cancelled. With high ex-pectations
there was a large
turnout for this wonderful mu-sic,
entertainment and last but
not least, the announcement of
the Campus Queen.
The featuring entertainment
was the O.K. Combo, which pre-sented
dixieland and various
other types of music. In be-tween
numbers there was pres-entation
of act by the following
students: Jerrie McEvily and
Dario Sacramone did the cha-cha
and lindy. Pat Hackett
and Ronny Da Ross did modern
dance and Judy Perkins and
Dario Sacramone did some mod-ern
dances also. Babette Merlin
did calipso.
There was also a commedi-anne,
Jean Golden, who did five
numbers which included imper-sonations
and musical comedy
skits. The audience also took
advantage of this wonderful
music and danced at various
intervals.
Before intermission, Sheila
Green, President of LIATINS,
presented Mrs. Ford with a
beautiful bouquet of flowers. It
was through Mrs. Ford's help
and guidance that the Concert
was such a huge success.
The highlight of the evening
was the announcement by Ed
Stipe, President of the I.C.C.,
that Garna Beck, representative
of the Society of Thermo Tech-nicians
was the winner of the
Talent Queen Contest h e ld
March 14th in the assembly.
The runners up were Eve Lehr-man
and Karen Solonen.
Garna is a D.H. freshman, and
hails from Fort Plains, New
York, and is a transfer student
from Pottsdam State Teachers
College. She is very active in
many of the functions and ac-tivities
held on campus, and is
a member of the cheerleaders,
chorus, and has performed at
many assemblies and functions
hold by the Dental Hygiene
Club. She was also a runner-up
in the Chrysanthemum Queen
Contest.
(Continued Next Column)
At the Jazz Concert Garna
sang "Embracable You", "I'm
Beginning to See the Light",
and "Pennies from Heaven". As
winner of the contest she re-ceived
a silver bracelet with
S.U.A.T.I. on one side, and
Campus Queen 1958 on the other,
not to mention a bouquet of
roses.
This evening will be remem-bered
by one and all.
LeRoy Holmes Plays
At Senior Prom
Seniors! This is just a word
of warning to let you know that
your prom isn't too far off. It's
Friday, June 13 and is being
held at the Fairlanes Ballroom
in New Hyde Park, Long Is-land.
Tickets will go on sale
April 18, and will be sold in
blocks of eight so that friends
may sit together. Singles will
also be sold. The price of this
year's tickets is $4.75. In pre-vious
years they sold for $$7.50.
This reduction was made pos-sible
by the fact that the Senior
Board of Governors has been
able to raise more money for
the Senior Class treasury.
The evenings entertainment
will be provided by Leroy
Holmes and his 14 piece or-chestra.
So choose your dates early
and start saving your pennies
for the big event. And speak-ing
of pennies; THE RAMBER
staff realizes that a prom is an
expensive proposition, so in our
next issue we will offer a few
suggestions as to how a few
dollars can be made quickly and
easily.

17, and 18. Activities start Fri-day
night with a Square dance
which originally was to be held
in the Gym, but due to its pres-ent
condition will be held off

Belmont Park will set the
scene for Saturday afternoon,
with picnicking, canoeing and
other facilities available. The
evening will feature the high-light
of t h e weekend, the
"Freshman Ball", which will be
held at the Shore Beach Club
in Long Beach. To add the
finishing touches to the week-end,
a beach party will be held
ata Jones Beach, parking field
No. 1, all day Sunday.
Tickets for the Square dance

The committee for the week-end

entire weekend under this plan
can be had for $6.50.
Hors d'oevres will be served
free at the Ball on Saturday

served at the beach
party.
The Freshman Board of Gov-ernors,
in charge of all plans,
announced that the profit on the
Student - Faculty game was
$96.26, which will be used toward
Spring Weekend. If Freshmen
give their support to this fan-tabulous
project, it will be a
sure success.
Inauguration of
D.H. Scholarship
This year a new future has
been added to the Dental Hy-giene
Club activities — a schol-arship
of $100 — is to be award-ed
to an incoming senior girl.
Our "Sweetheart Swing" held
on St. Valentines Day earlier
this year is the source of fi-nance
for the scholarship.
The scholarship is to be used
expressively for educational pur-poses
here at the Institute. Any
freshman D. H. is permitted to
apply for it and only those girls
applying will be considered. The
deadline for getting all applica-tions
in is April 21, 1958.
The award will be based upon
scholastic rating and need. In
addition, the applications will be
screened carefully by a commit-tee
consisting of the Dental Hy-giene
Faculty and Executive
Board of the club. Applicants
will then be interviewed by the
committee which will also in-clude
members of the Adminis-tration,
such as the School Per-sonnel
Officer. With the addi-tional
information gained from
the interviews, a final decision
will be made.
We hope the idea will carry
on as a traditional future of
the club.
The recipient of the award
will be announced as soon as
the final decision is made.

those present that he hoped to
make the coming year the most
successful in CISGA's history.
