School formals are always cheerful affairs Social Events Lest the cadet's life be one-sided, events of the social vein find their place among the activities of a C.B.A. student. The annual Military Ball and the Christmas Formal provide the terpsichorean ingredient for a well-rounded schedule, along with the other informal canteen-style dances through- out the school year. The Senior Dance belongs to the Graduating Class alone and is the last get- together for many of these classmates. At the Fathcr and Son Banquet, parents and boys share a big evening together and, it is hoped, grow closer by their association. Each of these soeials helps make the year move a little faster and a little more pleasantly, for Hall work and no play makes .lack a dull boyn. 44 95 P?
