two U.S. suilors. The crowd
consisted of young people,

The music was ast, so
Cherie (the other experimen

everybody else. The floo; was
much more crowded than any
of Medford's dances, which
means it was packed, but peo

course there were stares, but
when Cherie and I started to
twist, everybody formed a
circle to watch some authen
