Special Dances at Center Banned by City Commission
The City Commission approved banning all special dances at the Civic Center for the rest of the school year though regular school group nights continue with juke box music. The ban followed a Friday boycotting protest by senior high students over the twist dance. Recreation Director Herman Beringer had promoted the event. only about three couples attended. The commission may review the Civic Center program before next fall, and a proposed Friday use of the old armory by dance band members was denied for lack of sponsors.
