PURPLE AND WHITE CLUB A complete curriculum demands a social aspect as well as the spiritual, intellectual and physical phases, in order that a man, who is ot necessity a social being, may learn the social graces and prove himself an amiable companion to his fellow men on those occasions when a rejuvenating pause is made along the way. The Purple and White Club presented this opportunity to the Seniors and Iuniors ot Gonzaga. Gnce a month, the cafeteria underwent a metamorphosis wonderful to behold. The tables and benches were moved from sight, the spacious tloor was waxed, the lights were dimmed by means of colored paper, and purple and white streamers were hung the length and breadth of the miracle ballroom. ln this pleasant atmosphere, Seniors and Iuniors forged a closer social link and spent together many a memorable and enjoyable evening. The serious, studious attitude was laid aside for a time and the air of good fellowship pervaded. The purpose of the club was tul- tilled and, more than that, friendships were sealed and strengthened as the merry couples shared the joys of a pleasant evenings entertain- ment at the school. for a bigger and better social in the near future.
