Every girl has her name and class written on a card and pinned on her - but as I try to remember now whom I met, I can't mention one girl's name, and can remember but a few definitely. There were so many. There were only a few men - perhaps ten or fifteen, and only three who dared dance on the floor. As you looked down on the hundreds of girls in light dresses from the running track above, it was a beautiful sight.
