[Alumni-chat] Antiochiana! -- Folk Dancing At Antioch...a history!

[Sonia Jaffe Robbins]

In the early '60s, there were a few of us who weren't folk dance 
aficionados. There were also twist dances in the common room off 
North Hall every Saturday (?) night. Those are some of my fondest 
memories. That's where I first heard Ray Charles records. Boys from 
Wilberforce came, to dance and pick up girls.

>   Antiochiana includes memorabilia about folk dancing in past 
>decades at Antioch College, Ohio, popular from the 1950's through 
>the 1970's (Antioch's so-called "Golden Age").  Oddly, very little 
>information about folk dancing at Antioch College, Ohio, is 
>available or part of the formal Antiochiana Collection presently 
>located in the Kettering Library at Antioch in YSO.
