director of the Nebraska club.
It is estimated that 75,000 col
lege men and women are now en
rolled in modern dance classes in
this country.

Sponsored by the women's
physical education department and
the WAA, Orchesis is headed by
Irma Lou Fisher, president, and
Billie Steelman, secretary. Be
cause of the interest displayed in
modern dance, Pre-Orchesis was
organized in 1945 with Mrs. Monty
Geissinger as faculty sponsor. Mrs.
H. H. Flood is accompanist.
Members.
Members of Orchesis who will
dance in the concert are Anna
"Hink" Aasen, Betty Aasen, Jo
