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

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. Hel
ene Oates added to the charming
picture with an old-fashioned dance
as a feature. Black leather card
cases with the crest of Alpha Xi
Delta were the programs.
Mrs. Mildred Giffen, Dr. and Mrs.
G. 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.
The Alpha Phi house was trans
formed into an Italian garden Fri
day evening when members of that
sorority entertained with a formal
dance. Potted plants and palms
were used as a background while
the walls were attractively fes
tooned with garlands of cedar. The
same scheme was carried out on the
second floor where supper was
served.
Patrons and patronesses were
Mrs. Henry Augustine, Mr. and Mrs.
Colin Dyme'nt, Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Graham
Smith, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. G.
Thatcher, Dean Esterly, Miss Mary
Perkins and Mr. John Seifert.
A number of out of town guests
who were present for the affair al
so were the inspiration for other
entertainment over the week-end,
of which the Cabaret dinner Satur
day night was probably the out
fi+O-n/Jintr AVATlt.
Honoring Mrs. W. F. Graham,
their housemother, Delta Delta
Delta entertained with a large tea
Saturday afternoon from 4 to 6 in
Alumni hall. In the receiving line

Mrs. Eugene S. Keltv, Mrs. Fred
erick G. Jennings, Mrs. James Gil

Paul Kelty and Mrs. D. J. McKin
non poured while the freshmen of
Delta Delta Delta served.
Miss Pauline Knowland sang
“When I’m With You” and “Love
Sends a Gift of Roses.”

Decidedly different was the
“Bootlegger’s Ball,” Saturday even
ing at the Phi Delta Theta house
for which the sophomore men of
Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Theta
were hosts. 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. The rooms were made to
resemble a spring time scene with
huge baskets of flowers hanging
from the walls, and ferns, ivy and
pussywillows attractively arranged.
Mrs. Lucy Abrams, Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur Miner, Mr. and Mrs. John
Stark Evans and Dean Esterly ac
ted as patrons and patronesses.
Quite gay and festive was the
setting for the Chi Omega informal
dance Friday at the chapter house.
Innumerable balloons were used to
make this effect, together with
I pierrot and pierrette caps over the
lights. Punch and cakes were
served for refreshments.
Mrs. Lelin Woodring, Mrs. R. .T.
Marsh and Mrs. J. E. Bridges were
patronesses.
The twelve upperclassmen of Phi
Delta Theta entertained at their
house Friday from 6:30 to 12:00
with dancing. Dinner was served in
the early part of the evening to the
hosts and their guests who were
seated around one large table. The
rooms were effective though sim
ple with a number of floor lamps
for decoration.
Solos by Roy Bryson and a trio
composed of George Stearns, Alan
Smith and Ted Larson afforded en
tertainment. Mr. and Mrs. Thom
as Foley were patron and patron
ess.
