ukzL,SeaA.on, SEVENTY-SIX The social season at R. M. A. this year has been high-lighted by some very memorable events. Dur- ing this season the Cadets have had some very enjoyable times with the young ladies of St. Kath- erine's and also with friends from thc surrounding community. On Saturday, February 4th, the cadets entertained the Davenport young ladies. Capt. Martin E. Coutant and his assistant G-eorge Engel turned the auditorium into a French street cafe. Through the expert decorations and designing of Jack Viner the scene was really authentic. To make it more realis- tic posters direct from Paris gayly created the atmosphere of the Follies Bergere and the famous Casino de Paris.

We are look- ing forward to the time when we can once again enjoy such an evening of fine music at Musca- tine. Plans are being made for a student group to attend all these concerts next fall. The annual dinner dance which took place on Saturday, March 25, had a little added attraction this year. In addition to the St. Katherine young ladies quite a few local friends attended this affair. Most of the local young ladies were in the senior class production of '-Midsummer Nightls Drearnf' A wonderful dinner was prepared by our chief chef, Mr. Grant Fosdick. Then the scene changed to the auditorium where with a touch of spring in the air the couples danced away the hours until midnight. We were also invited many times to the St. Katherine's school for dances. All cadets anticipate these affairs. We think that the social season at Roosevelt has been a success by the fine en- thusiasm shown by all those who attended and by members of the administration who cooperated in any way possible. 11211, ,Smaolu SEVENTY-SEVEN may Q if 0
