...dance by the emcees and their friend “Chocolate” to the beat of “Discovery Channel.” One lucky audience member even received not one, but two lap dances from these lovely ladies before bolting out of the dining hall. The Disney theme continued onto the closing act, as Adams House Masters John G. “Sean” Palfrey ’67 and Judith S. Palfrey ’67 waltzed as Beauty and the Beast, respectively.
