uk QAii .iamgbu tg When the first frosts of winter appeared, colonists sought hearths for warmth and the company of friends. Warriors emulated this tradition in early December as brisk winds carried them to shelter at the annual Mistletoe and Holly Ball. Once inside the ballroom, merrymakers were captivated by the intricate setting of a Williamsburg Christmas. Collaboration of Keyettes and Key Clubbers proved fruitful, for the Annex was no longer a conglomerate of carpeted classrooms, but emerged as a cobblestone street leading into an eighteenth century colonial mansion. Club members had labored endless hours painting murals and cutting tinsel stars to capture the occasion ' s warmth. Under the co-chairmanship of Karen Crusberg and Mike Moon, the traditional gathering surpassed all previous ones; more bids were sold than ever before, a rock-and-roll band replaced the common disco bands, and for the first time in years a profit of $90.00 was cleared. Although lute and flute melodies were absent, the dance reflected the hearth ' s welcome air during Christmas celebrations. Elegantly costumed Warriors relished both the waltz-less ballroom and the gathering which concealed a delectable entree table. At twelve, filled with cheerful tidings, colonized Warriors returned to their twentieth century homes to change into comfortable clothes, place corsages in water, and to anticipate approaching mistletoe promises. 20 SPECIAL EVENTS
