N--1--D-CRDIQESCIQIIDTD e-i------ The Omega Phi Dance The object of everybody in this world is to be a success. Likewise the thought and hope of the originator of an idea is that it will be a success. In either there must be a great deal of real, hard work, and, if more than one person is concerned, co-operation is- necessary. On January Sth, 1932, or about that time, the idea of giving a dance for the benefit of the PREscR11'T0 was presented to, and passed on, by members of the Omega Phi. A committee to formulate plans was selected by the president and consisted of Messrs. Klosterman, Dunbar, Jacobus and Schmelzel. The date selected was January 20th, 1932. On that date at about ten o'clock P. M., couples began to gather and continued coming until about midnight, at which time a crowd of some two hundred and fifty young people were present. To the music of a five-piece orchestra they waltzed, fox-trotted, tangoed, one- stepped and did other forms of dancing too numerous to mention. It was called a depression dance, but where was the depression ? It would have been virtually impossible to find one person with the thought of that word, cffb Page NinetyfEight

Perhaps they came because the admission was ninety-nine cents, but a person with ninetyfnine cents is not in a total state of depression. However, the power which drew this large crowd was, I believe, not the admission price but rather the anticipation of a good time. Everyone, with very few exceptions, if any, obtained what he was look- ing for. The dance was a success, both socially and financially. Its success was due, as is all success, to co-operation. This was certainly not lacking as all th1'ee classes bent every effort to make this venture a success. Due credit must be given to the three classes collectively, the members of the Omega Phi and the dance committee. fc 1 'flu 3 2 mp Page NinetyfNine
