THE CRIMSON AND GOLD BALL The outstanding social event of the school year is the Crimson and Gold Ball spon- sored by Alpha Mu Chapter of Sigma Delta Kappa legal fraternity and held each New Year's Eve at the Raleigh Hotel. Although of relatively recent origin this function already has established itself at Columbus University as a tradition, and is one that seems certain to survive through the years. It provides not only an occasion for under- graduates to celebrate the New Year in appropriate manner but also affords alumni the opportunity of renewing old friendships and cultivating new ones. To Columbus Uni- versity it is not unlike the homecoming celebrations held by other institutions of higher learning. This year the third annual Crimson and Gold Ball eclipsed its forerunners in attend- ance, brilliance, gaiety and every other respect. The net proceeds were almost double what they were the previous years. The music of NVatson Powell and his Orchestra was an invitation to dance that hardly could be resisted. Happy scenes such as are pictured on the opposite page prevailed from ten-thirty until three o'clock in the morning. It was a gala occasion. Then too at the Ball the widely publicized and much talked about Sweetheart Quest was climaxed with the selection by the audience of Miss Madelyn Rinehart, Junior Law Student, as Sweetheart of Columbus University. The Sweetheart Quest, conceived and sponsored by the Crimson and Gold Ball Com- mittee, received considerable favorable publicity and attracted widespread attention to the Ball. It was made known to the world that Columbus University co-eds possessed not only brains and intelligence but also beauty and charm. The Crimson and Gold Ball was a huge success and due credit must be given the committee whose tireless and unselfish efforts and ingenuity were responsible for this success.
