FOOTBALL DANCE The only dance and the main social event of the Fall term was the Football Dance on the twentyflirst of November. This dance did honor to a championship team, one that has not been equalled in the annals of L. F. A. football history. The gymnasium was effectively decorated with Academy pennants and blankets. Orange and black adorned the lights hanging throughout the gym. George Street's orchestra furnished excellent music for the affair. PREMID DANCE The PrefMid Dance on February ith came at just the right time to break up the monotony of the conhning Winter term. There were not as many couples at the dance as expected, but this was due to the fact that this weekfend was the midfterm for the Ferry Hall girls. The music from Husk O'Hare's orchestra, however, livened things up and the party ended with a stamped approval of success. MIDfWINTERS At this time of the year the Academy shines forth brightest in its social light. The energy exerted by the students during many days of preparation is displayed at last in a musical concert, a Follies revue and a play presented by the Gargoyle Club. Nearly all the guests had arrived by five o'clock on Friday afternoon, February 19th. After a delightful dinner in the dining hall, they casually filled the seats in the Chapel to await the musical concert given by the combined clubs, the lirst event of the Festivities. Following the much enjoyed concert given by the Orchestra, Banjo' Mandolin and Glee Clubs, came the Academy Follies of '26, directed in an able manner by Mr. Bergen. After this enjoyable program, all were eager for the informal dance, a high spot with the fellows in the Mid-Winters' events. An unusual design of black and white streamers formed a unique, flat canopy above the heads of the dancers. Lights intermittently thrust through the canopy were decorated in black and white shades. Husk O'Hare' proved a great success with his snappy orchestra. This dance ended one day of enthuiastic pleasure. ' Page ninetyfseuen

Saturday morning at ten o'clock, everyone attended a basketball game between L. F. A. and Wheaton Academy. Our team easily won by a tremendous score. In the afternoon at 2:19, the Gargoyle Club presented the three'act comedy, It Pays To Advertise. The play was well received with hearty applause from the audience and may be easily recorded as one of the Academy's best. The climax of events came Saturday night in the way of the muchftalkedfof formal dance. The decorations were the same as at the informal, but the affair was consider' ably brightened by the beautiful party dresses and the wellftuxed males. O'Hare's orchestra furnished the music again. The toll of twelve was accompanied by sad partings-thus ended an highly successful MidfWinters.

This dance lived up to all expectations and may well be credited as being an immense success. Decorations were of the most elaborate kind. In the center of the gym was suspended a huge star, a most hovel idea. Purple and white streamers completed the beautiful decoration scheme. Added to so much purple were the Purple Collegians who entered wholef heartedly into the party. The ballroom steppers of the Academy hailed them as un' excelled by any syncopators that have played at the school for many years. The dance went over big in every respect and that success may be attributed in full measure to the eflicient work of the committees. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE J. Garrity H.
