In place ot the tradi- tional semi-formal dance, the Christmas Ball took the form ot a dressy, decorated canteen. Freshly cut trees, and artificial snow, set the atmosphere for the night's activities and on- coming holiday vacation. Centered on the floor of the mushroom, as it presiding over the affairs, was a giant pine tree brightly lighted and decorated. Music for the evening was provided by Gaylen and the Committee.
