Dresden and League of Dresdens activities started off with the Big and Little Sister Party in September titled Our Blooming Years. This was a pleasant welcome to the new girls coming into Ferris in the fal I . The girls next major project was in October with their annual Dad Daughter Desert called Making Pappy Happy. On December 17, Noel was enjoyed by many. This very successful dance made the 65 Christmas more poignant than ever. As a Christmas gift, the League of Dresden gave fifty dollars to Ferris ' Friendship club. This went for a party for the elder patients who have been released from Eastern State Hospital . The New Year was started off on January 3, by celebrating the first annual Joel E. Ferris Day. This was in honor of Mr. Ferris ' birthday, January 2, 1874. The spring officers were installed February 9, 1966, in the traditional candlelighting ceremony of the League of Dresden. The first project for the new officers was to make identical dresses for themselves to be worn at important activities. This was fun for the girls and impressive to others as well . Spring was sprung at Ferris as all enjoyed the third annual Cotton Day on April 5. This array of spring colors before spring vacation was a welcomed change for all . Ending Dresden ' s busy and successful year was the Mother Daughter Tea held on May 3. This was a most enjoyable ending to another wonderful and eventful year for the League of Dresden .
