. .4 , , FQ-aw f'l?.UM.L. - l SOCIALS The premier social event of the scholastic year 1924-1925 at De La Salle was the junior Prom. In this as in other activities the class of '26 prides itself as a pathfinder, for it was the first time in the history of the school that such an affair was sponsored by the Junior Class. The Prom. took place the evening of April 2-lth at one of New York's most noted hostelries, The Commodore. Van and his Collegians provided the symphonious strains for the evening's pleasure. In addition the committee surprised us all by several unexpected feature numbers, The most novel of these was entertainment provided by stars from current Broadway musical productions. The appear- ance of these notables made the event the most talked of Prom of the season. This departure was copied by many of the college proms the following year. Each of the neighboring metropolitan colleges and high schools were well represented. The evening's pleasure was enjoyed by all and it was the unani- mous opinion that our first entry into society as a class was unusually suc- cessful. The committee in charge deserves great praise for their earnest and efficient management and for the courage and initiative they manifested in treading where no one ever trod before. This work was ably executed by Chairman James Slattery and his committee which included Messrs. Grady, Gugler, Devine, Lewis, and Conroy. The committee at a later date reported the affair a financial success. g . The junior Class of the succeeding year followed in the footsteps of their predecessors who are now the lordly Seniors. The junior Prom of 1926 was held at the Hotel Majestic on january the twenty-second. An outstanding feature of this affair was the large and splendid orchestra which supplied the music. All who attended will attest that an enjoyable time was had by all. YVe extend to the juniors our felicitations on sponsoring so representative an event. Mr. Wiohleb the Chairman and Mr. Thompson the treasurer reported on behalf of the committee that the function had been a complete success. Preparations for the Senior Prom of the class of '26 began in Novem- ber when the presidents of the two classes appointed a joint committee to make a survey of the field and report to the class. This committee was composed of Messrs. Noonan, Smythe, Grady, Lewis, McGuiness, Slattery, Stanley and Conroy. The last named was chosen chairman. VX-ie felt that this event should set a new mark for the social activities of the De La Salle. Realizing that no place would so well serve the occasion as the scene of our junior Prom we again contracted for The Commodore. The date selected was May the seventh. VVe are looking forward to a very pleasant evening. Page sc'ue1z.ty-fom' are fafll .92 Qllm
