Erskine Country Club A quiet moment at Erskine. Introductions are in order. Outside rain . . . inside dancing. St. Louis ' own Dick Malecek, Hill Riley, Kathy George and Tom Mangelsdorf. Background is Jack Meaney and date. At ERSKINE COUNTRY CLUB the guests had the run of the grounds. In the club- house ballroom Jerry Costello ' s Quintet played for dancing, but in view of the idyllic setting and the April weather most of the hundred and fifty couples strolled about the course, or gath- ered in parties over the lawns. A few of the hardiest worked out on the practice green while another group sat in lawn chairs and watched them. At five-thirty a buffet supper was served, cold beef and chicken, cole slaw and beans and potato salad, rolls and ice cream. The guests ate on the veranda or ranged down the broad steps. The weather broke just as they finished. The couples withdrew to the ballroom. As the rain fell, the air cooled and the dancers returned to the floor with a new vitality. The most accomplished of the dancers were given the weekend ' s best opportunity for demon- strating their versatility. At seven-thirty the music ended and the guests filled the veranda preparatory to the dash through the rain to their cars. The couples returned to town for their last night in high and fresh spirits. For the afternoon at Erskine Bob Beh and Jack Lambert were co-chairmen. The affair was a sellout two days after tickets were placed on sale.

Freshman Dance .TOR A FEW BRIEF but memorable hours in the beginning of May, the Freshman class turned the Rockne Memorial into a Star- light Terrace. The transformation was com- plete as the couples danced to the romantic style of Russ Carlyle and his orchestra and chorus. All together, the decorations, the re- freshments, and the music contributed to one of the finest dances that the first year class has put on at school for quite a while. Most of the credit for this achievement must go to the dance co-chairmen, Ed White and George Welsh. Their respective queens were Miss Molly aim Brezette and Miss Joyce McNamara. The evening ' s festivities were highlighted by the crowning of the queens. The dance lasted from nine to one and the usual permissions were granted. The next day, the dance-goers had the oppor- tunity to atten d a special intra-squad game which was played by the football team on ( artier Field. The same evening, the Student Council put on another of its series of dances in the Palais Royale. On Sunday the freshmen and their dates attended the nine o ' clock Mass in Sacred Heart Church in which a special section was reserved for those who had gone to the dance. Thus an especially enjoyable weekend drew to its close. The two lovely queens and the co-chairmen of the dance. The queen again and some of the other lovelies. They looked especially happy for the photographer.
