Lelah McMurphey With the season for formal dances now well under way for the Winter term, each week-end will probably be marked by a number of both formal and informal dances as well as the usual number of teas and other functions. Unique in every detail was the Formal Military ball given Satur day evening by the Officer’s club of the R. O, T. C. at the Crafts man ’s clubhouse. American flags were draped over the lights and the walls, while palms and potted plants were used to complete the decora tions. Leading the grand march were Cadet Lieut. Col. Don Randolph Cook and Miss Geneva Smith who were followed by the honored guests and the remaining cadet officers in the order of their rank. An unusual feature of the evening was the blowing of calls for assembly, mess, call to quarters and taps by an American Legion bugler. Patrons and patronesses were Col. and Mrs. W. S. Sinclair, Col. and Mrs. G. W. Moses, Col. and Mrs. G. H. White, Capt. and Mrs. F. L. Gu lin, Jr., Lieut, and Mrs. E. G. Ar nold and Capt. J. T. Murray. Refreshments consisted of pastry, red, white and blue ice cream and hot chocolate. The leommittee in charge was Kenneth Stephenson, Walter Backstrom and Charles Nor ton, » » * The decoration scheme for the Al pha Xi Delta formal dance, which was held Saturday evening in the Woman’s building was that of a lovely old-fashioned garden with its white picket fence, gates and flowers attractively arranged.

F. Beardsley, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Folts and Mr. and Mrs. Harl Doug lass were patrons and patronesses.

Honoring Mrs. W. F. Graham, their housemother, Delta Delta Delta entertained with a large tea Saturday afternoon from 4 to 6 in Alumni hall.

The house resembled a bar room with the usual bar and unique colored pictures on the walls. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Huntington and Dr. and Mrs. D. W. Stanard were patrons and patronesses. Sandwitches, pretzels and near beer were the unusual refreshments served. * » * Friday evening members of Alpha Omicron Pi were hostesses at an informal dance in the Woman’s building.
