SOCIAL EVENTS OF THE SEASON The first dance of the season was a huge success. It was given in the High School Auditorium, the night of ( )ctoher 7 th by tlie Senior Class. Many old graduates as well as non-graduates were there, and all seemed to have an enjoyable evening. Then, too, the George Mason team took full advantage of our invitation to attend the dance. The Sophomores were our next hostesses. They gave a very enjoyable dance on Xovemher 11th at old A. H. S. The floor was packed all evening. Everyone had a grand time. The Seniors e.xpressed uneasiness after this dance, because of the fact that our princijral, Mr. Moncure, attended the Soj)!! Dance and did not attend the one given by the Seniors. It did look suspicious, didn’t it ? To show the Alumni that we think of them often, the whole school got together and gave a dance in their honor just before the Christmas holidays. Practically all of the students attending college had returned ; they seemed so glad to get hack to their dear Alma Mater. Mr. Lindsey was a conspicuous figure and played his usual role. A ' e’ve certainly missed him here this year. Have you heard of our new Club? It is called the Monogram Club and is composed of hoys who have made their letters. This club joined with the Juniors in giving us our next dance, immediately after the Portsmouth game. The Ports- mouth hoys, for whom the dance was given, all seemed to have a big time. We certainly tried to show them an enjoyable evening. Of course, after the defeat they had just sufifered at tire hands of A. H. S.’s crack basketball team, we couldn’t ex]tect them to be in the best of moods. Mr. Moncure was certainly true to his j)romise when he gave us a dance immediately after the oratorical contest. Everything was done up in the inevitable Moncure style — and what more could we say? However, for those who aren’t accustomed to the good fashion in which our beloved princijial does things, we will add that the music was grand and everyone felt right at home. Words are mockery when we try to express our appreciation for such an enjoyable evening. One of the most unicpie and enjoyable swial affairs on our calendar was the Freshman Tackv Party, May 11th, given in honor of the Senior Class. Everyone entered into the sjfirit of the party, and long before the a] ]X)inted hour arrived, many foolish and tacky guests were on the scene, for they had been warned not to a])] ear in their Sunday best. It will l e a long, long time before the memories of May 11th have faded away from our minds. Page Sixty-;ix
