SOCIALS at 'k -k The cadets also swayed to rhythm at three formal dances which were held, the first being our Homecoming dance in which the alumni were able to present themselves in tuxes. The Military Ball, a production of the Parent-Alumni Association, gave the cadets a chance to back up their bragging of the sharp girl friend they had back home. The Commencement dance, better known as the Farewell Ball, ulti- mates the social activities of the cadets and serves as the senior prom. 'lr f f t if -nr E ff I qw Z' Eighty-seven

After the dinner the cadets get together with alumni to talk of the things that they used -4 o 4 to do and the things that they still do while at Roosevelt. This is a happy moment for all. With another victory under our belts, the happy group moves off to the gym, which is decorated in the patriotic colors of red, White, and blue, and have an enjoyable evening of dancing. This dance is one of our big formal occasions.
