Fort Eustis- O-D -Fort Eustis COMPANY Cf SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Company G has been called the social organization of the regiment. It is the only company in the CIVITC at Fort Eustis which has given a private dance for the mem- bers ofthe command. From the very beginning of the month of training, the men showed a keen interest in the dances at the Recreation Hall, and at nearly all of them MGH Com- pany attended en mane. Early in the month Bill Jeffreys was elected Hop Manager, and in a few days the whole company was thrown into an ecstacy of delight when plans ug were announced for a dance to be given by UG July 27. Sergeant Clarke7s 52nd Artillery Orchestra furnished the music for the occasion. The 34th Service Club was secured for the dance, and the artistic decorations already there added a great deal to the beauty of the dance. hliss lVIarsh and Nliss Roberts invited a number of girls from 'Williamsburg, Yorktown and the Post, and a few moments after their arrival the knights and beau brum- mels of G were tripping the light fantastic toe. The regimental Officers were invited and Va large number were present to enjoy the terpischorean art. Lieutenant Bargamin was chief chaperon of the afternoon, and received much praise for his noble performance. Miss lvfargaret Chandler of Newport News was selected by the company as official Sponsor and VVilliam P. Jeffreys of Crozet as the most representative Blue of G Com- pany.
