The gymnasium, beautifully decorated in artistic and tactfully hung streamers, added greatly to the brilliance of the affair. The Rutger's Jazz Bandits provided excellent music. Under the influence of their lull- ing strains and the softly glowing lights a large crowd whirled merrily through one of the most enjoyable evenings of the year. The outstanding feature of the evening was the awarding of football letters to both Varsity and Junior teams by our Director of Athletics, Mr. Hile. Captain Austin led the letter-men to the platform from which Mr. Hile made mention of the admirable and courageous way in which Carl had handled his team. Austin was succeeded by Captain-elect Carl Avig- none. who likewise received special mention. We owe a large part of the evening's success to our gracious hostess, Mrs. Furman. The refreshments were fine and were exceedingly wel- comed by everyone. IRVONIAN DANCE Une of the most successful and charming social events of the year was the Irvonian Dance held on Washington's birthday. It was at this time that the Union Glee Club paid its first visit to Irving, and their entertainment contributed greatly to the success of the evening. The music by the Garnet Gobblins of Union was unsurpassed and the evening slipped away all too soon. The presence of many of the Alumni was an additional pleasure, for nothing is more enjoyable than meeting one's old friends again. All credit to the success of the dance was due to the able members of the Irvonian Board, who were untiring in their endeavors to have the best dance everg which it proved to be. COMMENCEMENT DANCE The most joyous and memorable time of the year has arrived. A fit- ting Commencement program has been arranged, the climax of one of the most profitable years in our school history. In many hearts will be the grief of parting from friends and our dear Alma Mater. Yet it will be a time of joy, for are we not advancing in this great life? As the last low strains of our school song fades into the clear June air, and we clasp hands for the last time our careers as members of Irv- ing School will come to a close.
