Thirty couples of Academy and College students laid aside their class worries and all joined in the hilarity of the occasion. Paul Ecker and his Checkers provided the music for the dance. So delightfully pleased were the merrymakers on that night it made one believe it was Fred Waring himself. A band of hosts and hostesses consisting of Dr. and Mrs. Charles H. Huber, Mr. and Mrs. Earl E. Ziegler, Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Wolfe, and Mrs. Mabel Phelps formed the receiving line, The success of the dance was due to the un- tiring labors of the committee composed of the following: Frank Graff, chairman, Harry Lehner, Harry Bradshaw, Ala- stair McGaw, Barrick Wagner, Bert Dehlin and Robert Frost. I SPRING DANCE : The boys, so well were they pleased with the last dance, could hardly wait for this event. This dance was held in order to make possible the presenta- tion of this yearis senior class gift, A roll on the drums at ten o'clock was the cue, Dr. Huber presided and Harry Lehner, president of this yearls class, made the presentation. Following this a brief intermission ensued, refreshments were served and shortly after the hilarity was resumed. Summer formal dress prevailed, white flannels and dark coats, white linen suits, while the lovely ladies were attired in formal spring gowns also. The very efficient committee that made possible the enjoyable Mid-winter dance had charge of this Spring dance. The hosts and hostesses were the same who favored the committee with their presence at the previous dance. No small expression of joy was shown by those who attended the ball.
