	1960 Yucca, students dancing in front of a jukebox
 
The spring issue was one of the best that I have read and viewed over the last many years! I noticed the names of several classmates or people I knew on campus -- Richard Menchaca, who was a very good UNT track athlete; David Ballauer, a really great discus thrower and shotputter; and, of course, when I was a graduate student, I believe Denton High School graduate Phyllis George was beginning her freshman year.
I was acquainted with Spider Lockhart while we were seniors. He was a very talented football player. Football Consensus All American Joe Greene came later in the '60s.
Everyone was very friendly on campus, between classes and in the dorms -- I lived two years in West Dorm. The dancing in the Union Building during, in-between and after classes was the "one-and-only" North Texas Push. Many great couples danced daily (pictured, a couple from the 1960 Yucca).
Thanks again for such an informative, enjoyable and loaded North Texan issue!
