Elet Hall Club HEN the bell rang for the opening of the scholastic year of 1924-1925, a drastic change was made in the policy of St. Xavier College when Elet Hall, a modern dormitory was thrown open as a residence hall for out of-town students. The hall was named in honor of the Reverend John Anthony Elet, S.J., the first president of the college. Almost the first step the college authorities took was the appointment of the Reverend Alphonse L. Fisher, S.J., as director, and resident chaplain. Father Fisher, an alumnus, class of 1909, immediately made himself unusually popular, and by his wholeehearted co-operation and good-fellowship earned himself a place in the heart of each student in the hall. The residents of the hall are drawn from the three states. of Ohio, Ken- tucky, and Indiana. Notwithstanding the diverging directions from which they hailed, the Elet Hall gang immediately became the very backbone of the splendid old spirit of St. Xavier.

AY flaming gowns against the somber background of the conventional Tuxedo, soft sinuous music, gayety, life, youth and vigor, this was the Junior Prom 0f the class of 1926. Grave lawyers, prominent physicians, men of affairs in the business world, carefree students, youthful matrons, and beautiful girls, all mingling together in that most joyous of all college functions, the Junior Prom. Each passing year finds the From occupying a more enviable position in the social life of the city. Each year some of the skeptical ones are in at tendance, and thereupon a passive onlooker is converted into an ardent admirer, for one cannot attend :1 Xavier Prom without realizing that there still remains some small portion of that which is new and interesting in this sophisticated old world. The Prom is, and shall continue to be an institution of which St. Xavier can well be proud. With the strains of the grand march echoing through the hall, Mr. Phil J. Kennedy, the president of the Senior Class, the guests of the evening, led the four hundred couples through the Charles II Tearoom and the Louis XVI ballroom. Round and round the spacious hall the marching couples went, until at last the favors, the long awaited souvenirs of the class of 26 were all distributed. Then the dancers resumed the business of the evening, that of thoroughly enjoying themselves. Midnight was long since past when the plaintive strains of ltHome Sweet Home', recalled to the guests the fact that all good things, even 9. Xavier Prom must come to an end. A few parting regrets, and the Prom was history. The committees were: Arrangements. Joseph D. Farrell, Chairman, James J. Boyle, G. Murray Paddack, Thomas J. Mussio. Advisory. William G. Knecht, Phil J. Kennedy and J. Howard Geerin. Page One Hundred Thirty-twn
