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.
