In the fall, after school has opened, some class often likes to give
a reception to the entering class. An autumn leaf dance in October is
the prettiest kind of one to have.
Decorate the school hall with branches of scarlet and yellow maple
leaves, or deep red and russet oak boughs.
For the dance programs make covers from water-color paper cut and
painted to look like oak or maple leaves. The inside pages can be of
thin white paper in the same shape. Attach little red pencils.
Plan one autumn leaf dance in which each girl receives a wreath of
autumn leaves from her partner. For refreshments have orange or
raspberry ice with vanilla ice-cream, and serve it on plates covered
with leaf-shaped paper doilies.
