Don your straw hat, sequin
studded tennis shoes, and grab a
partner. Now '". . . all join hands
and circle the ring, stop where
you are, give your honey a swing .
. ." This living, tantalizing
atmosphere had brought many
students out of study hall and
down to the gymnasium where
square dancing was treated as a
lively part of the P.E. cur
riculum. Nobody was immune from this
lethal dose of fun: football
players, classroom representa
tives, nor even P.E. teachers.
Miss Ketty Kimball and Dick
Copple who demonstrated each of
the delicate dance steps. Coach
Tim Brown was also actively
involved at the 'caller" for each
of the dances, while Miss Trudy
Cully sided the troubled dancers
with two left feet.
All students showed a reaction
to this lively style of physical
education either positive or
adverse. But the majority of
these students, after they got into
the swing (or, dos-a'-dos, as the
case may be) of it, found that
square dancing could be a new
and enjoyable alternative to the
normal routine of physical edu
cation. As a result of this perky
development, students were seen
to be more awake and vivacious
throughout the day.
On the eve of this P.E. unit's
last day an evening square dance
w as held w inding up the end of an
unusual and fun-filled period.

SF Making A Comeback
Jarrell To Tour Europe
By Dale Nelson
Science fiction is today very
popular, particularly among the
younger element of society. It has
gained much in respectability,
what with movies such as 2001 : A
Space Odyssey and television
shows such as Star Trek, which is
currently one of the most popular
re-run shows in the nation. Yet a
few short decades ago, SF was
leeringly known as "That crazy
rockets-to-the-moon- stuff"
wild fantasy to be smuggled
home under one's jacket and
hidden from the scornful eyes of
parents.
Why has SF become as popular
as it has? And what are some of
the ways in which its popularity
is shown?
The obvious answer to SF's
popularity is that many of its
speculations have come true.
Men have landed on the moon
man has actually broken away
from the bounds of his native
world. The . idea of extended
deep-space travels seems no
longer so fantastic.
This would seem to be the
obvious reason for SF's popular
ity. But another idea perhpas
worthy of consideration is that SF
is great entertainment for
many Yet with an intellectual
element of possibility even of
likelihood thrown in.
SF also became more popular
brcause of the sudden availabil
ity of it in the thirties and forties,
in the ten cent pulp magazines.

Soon the pulp stories were
reprinted in hardcovers, and the
explosion was on.
These pulp magazines printed
letters from readers, including
their addresses. Soon enthusiasts
began writing to one another,
getting together in small groups;
fandom was born.
To an "outsider" fandom may
be an unfamiliar term. Fandom
(that is, all fans, collectively
speaking) is a subculture now.
Fans began to publish their own
magazines fanzines. These
tended to be journals of criticism
or amateur art and fiction,
frequently printed by such
humble means as mimeo or ditto.
A natural outgrowth of fandom
that it would wish to hold mass
gatherings to "get all the fans
under one roof." These conven
tionscons for short at first
were annual or semiannual
affairs, generally held in a big
city like New York.
