Remembering the night of Ianuary l0 cer- tainly is no hard task, for that date marked the lnterfraternity Dance. Snow had fallen about all day that Wednesday, but that did not hinder anyone. Cn the contrary, a bright moon glowed onto the snow providing a rather romantic atmosphere both to and from the dance. The lnterfraternity Ball, an annual affair, was attended by numerous couples from surround- ing communities as Well as the university stu- dents. The IFC Ball Was called by many cou- ples as the dance of the year . This statement was undoubtedly due to the fact that the lnterfraternity Council was able to secure the Young Man with the Horn , Bay Anthony. Anthony, his trumpet, and his orches- tra furnished the finest music ever heard in Tait Gym from 8:30 to 12:30. Featured vocalists with the orchestra were Bonnie Deauville, Betty Holliday, and the Sky- liner quintet. l-le also had such top-flight instru- rnentalists as tenor saxophonist Billy Usselton, and trumpet-trombone ace Eddie Butterfield. e Page Twenty-two r
