Portland Observer Thursday. April 27, 1978 Page 3 PCC students share classes Jefferson classes If some of the students at Jefferson High School in north Portland appear to be a little older than high school age. it’s probably because they are not high school students. They are probably Portland Commu nity College students attending Jefferson High School as part of a unique exchange program that allows PCC students to take dance courses at Jefferson. This spring term about 130 PCC students are at Jefferson learning dance side by side with the high school stu dents. Some attend classes in the daytime hours and others in the evening. Some earn college credit and the rest simply go for fun. They rub shoulders with the 100 high school students in the dance classes and the more skilled PCC students inspire the high schoolers to perfect their own dancing skills simply by their presence. The model role PCC students play, particularly the males, is crucial, accord ing to Jefferson vice principal Shirley Hakanson. “I don’t see how we would have as strong a program as we do without the PCC students," she said. Jefferson's reputation for quality in dance instruction is known throughout the city and even extends beyond Port land. Several years ago, the Alvin Nikolais Dance Company, a major Ameri can dance group, spent three weeks at Jefferson and reportedly left impressed with the school's program. With instructor Mary Folberg's expert guidance, the Jefferson dance program has introduced dance to more Portland high school students than ever before. The dance program is now one of the major components of a performing arts specialty, or magnet program, that Jef ferson has developed to attract students from throughout the city. PCC students may take dance courses at Jefferson at any level if there are openings. There are PCC students in the top dance company.

PCC students presently make up over half of the daytime enrollment and about 95 percent of the evening enrollment. The courses are offered through PCC’s community services program at the Cascade Center. Among the people who benefit from the exchange agreement are Jefferson High School graduates who are able to continue their education in dance even after graduation. Since it usually takes more than four years to develop top quality dance skills, the exchange is valuable to those Jefferson graduates, says Hakanson.

Entertainment Guide BAY AREA - NIGHT AND DAY I made an impromptu business trip to the Bay Area last week. Being an optimist. I expected sunshine and warm nights during my brief stay. Unfortunately - not so. Rain greeted me when I arrived and waved goodbye as 1 departed. Nevertheless. 1 had a pleasant stay and got a chance to stop in at a few of the old night spots and a few of the new, to see what’s happening around the Bay Area. MAKES A SUPER SALAD SANDWICH. When is a sandwich more than just a sandwich? When it’s also a salad! Simply toss ham strips, lettuce, onion rings, and KRAFT French Dressing. Place on French bread roll . Then, top it with KRAFT Natural Colby for a salad-sandwich that's more than delicious. IVEY'S • * • If you were to ask me which club I frequent most in Oakland, my answer would be simple - Ivey's. This Black-owned restaurant and lounge offers a progressive clientele, good food and drink, beautiful decor, piano bar and a pleasant atmosphere. Located in Jack London Square. Moderate. SOLOMON GRUNDY’S • • Located on the Berkeley Marina Solomon's offers a breathtaking view of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. It's not as good as I once remembered, in terms of food and service. Moderate. THE MANSION • • • I don't know the full story on this one, but I know you’ll like it. This $350,000 home owned by a prominent Black attorney is turned into a disco party on two floors once very two months by his daughter. Don’t worry all the beautiful Black people will be there. Ask someone in the know about this one. Invitation. THE LAMP POST • • • I don't consider a trip to the Bay Area complete without stopping by the Lamp Post for lunch or dinner. Excellent soul food and drink. Nice decor and atmosphere. Moderate. ___ GRITT • • • Gritt is probably the hottest singing group in the Bay Area. Melvin Jamison and I have been good friends for a number of years now. I had a chance to catch them in rehearsal. In all candor they were terrific!! To keep themselves from diluting the quality of their voices, they insist on singing acapella. Other members of the group include: Kenn.e Davis. Johnny Neal and Mitchell Dozier. Gritt is in the process of putting together a western tour which will include Portland and Seattle. Here s hoping the deal with Fantasy Records works out fellows - Good Luck!! MAKES MELLOW MUNCHING AT SNACK-TIME. KRAFT Natural Colby has a mild mellow flavor. Tastes great on crackers, or with fruit. Or by itself. Nutritious, too. THE BIRD CAGE • • • Good service, disco dancing and the hosts are as cordial as our own Paul Knauls (owner of Geneva's!. You'll like this one. Moderate. CHECK IT OUT1! I'd like to thank the following people for making my visit a pleasant one. Orr Jackson, Charles and Ronnie Scarbough, George Tribble, Donnie and Charles Smith, James Simpleton, Kennie, Johnnie, Mitchell and Melvin Jamison of Gritt. I also spotted a couple of Portlanders in Ivey’s - Lisa Westfield who s finishing up her degree in advertising at San Jose State and Terry Rawlins who moved down in November.
