Folk Dance Society Enters Fourth Year

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Light-footed students from all over the world will stamp out Schottishes, Polkas, and Virginia Reels at the Harvard Folk Dance Society's weekly trot tomorrow night, carrying on a custom established over three years ago by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Mead, directors of the International Students' Center.

Their dance floor recently moved from the First Congressional Church in Cambridge to the gymnasium of Sargent College, the group performs European figures and American squares under the direction of E. Eddy Nadel, who dresses in a colorful Polish costume.

Sponsorship by the Students' Center attracted the large bulk of foreign dancers, when the weekly festivals started in 1943. Chief attractions have been a two-man band, refreshments, instruction by Nadel, and performances by outside expert groups.
