Aegis Banquet The banquet given by the Supreme Council for the Fall Term Aegis Staff was a most enjoyable affair; it was at the Brazos Hotel. Large baskets filled with daisies, and silver candle sticks with orange tapers formed the decorations for the occasion. Miss Nancy Forbes was an excellent toast mistress and managed to keep the banquet lively at all times. Among the guests were Dr. and Mrs. E. E. Oberholtzer, Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Black, and Mr. W. J. Moyes. Senior Picnic What picnic, be it a success or a failure has not gone off accompanied by a rain shower? The Senior picnic of the Midwinter Class was no excep¬ tion to the rule, nor was it in any sense of the word a failure. At 8:00 o’clock, Friday morning January 16th, about twenty members out of a total of one hundred and sixteen of the class, with a few friends and a great many chaperones collected and made the trip in cars to Sylvan They arrived at their destination at ten o’clock, ready for the Party. As there was an interval between the time of their coming and the time for lunch, they indulged in the very dignified game of lumping rope with the chaperones fighting for their turns. As they were becoming too heated in the game, and as the rain by then had set in good, they assembled in the pavilion, where lunch was served. For those that were able to leave the table, there was the dance floor ready with Eddie’s Svncopaters providing the music. The dancing continued tdl 4 :oo o’clock, when the chaperones “rounded” them up for the trip home¬ ward. Mid-Winter Final Hop The January seniors staged a good dance in spite of its early finish. Hie ceiling of the University Club seemed a veritable cloud of silver balloons, while the Rice Collegians were concealed on an island rose garden in the midst of a stormy sea of dancers. The class colors, rose and silver were used in the light and wall decorations, and confetti and serpentine added to the general confusion. Punch was ladled throughout the evening by dusky servitors Although the affair was scheduled to last until two o’clock. “Home Sweet Home” was played at one, followed by a chorus of disappointed

Senior Struggle Close on the heels of the Mid-Winter Final Hop, followed a nondescript “dollar dance” sponsored by the Senior class. A motley crowd assembled: Central students, Rice stews, evening gowns, sport suits, and greatly in the minority but nevertheles, holding their own, one or two brave members of the faculty. Mark Westcott and his music makers did their best, so with our usual tact, we’ll put the blame on the rotten accoustics of Turnverin Mall. “ o ' s Football Dance One of the most enjoyable affairs of the Christmas season was the dance given in honor of Central’s football team by Jowyter Jones. Summoned by cleverest of invitations the guests appeared in the Bender ball room on the night of December the twentieth, nineteen hundred and twenty-four, and ably assisted by Edide’s Syncopators, proceeded to put Terpsichore to shame. For those who did not bring their own refreshments, (that remark not being without subtlety) there was punch in profusion, and for those who could not entertain their partners between dances (still subtle), there were horns and hats. 1 here is, of course, an end to all good things, and although the antici¬ pation of the fight for the back seat was alluring, no one left without the pleasantest of memories of that night, and that joyous “chairman of the cheers.”
