Pool Dance
A wonderful Summer diversion in one of the MIT pools! Unfortunately, it is often both expensive and hard to organize, so it often happens only every two or three years. Ideally, it is self-funding, but the club has been known to offer to subsidize the event. Typically, the officers appoint a willing organizer for this event. This person is responsible for investigating cost and availability of the MIT pools as well as organizing the dance proper. Usually, we spend most of the time in a shallow pool and finish with a brief tip in the deep end. This is usually called by one of our club members who are callers. Lately, Bill Ackerman has been handling the calling. The pool dance was last held in 2003 and organized by Sola Grantham. Note it is never held the same night as the weekly club dance. A historical note, according to Bill Ackerman, these pool dances were started by Larry Weinstein at Bulldog Squares at Yale.
