We had a wonderful time at our parties and dances. We enjoyed the soft lights and dreamy music, the gay, colorful spirit, and the blaring jazz that accompanied these events. There was much going steady and breaking up, falling in and out of love. All our fads, our sayings, and the tun we've e part of this year. Through our clubs we rendered worthwhile services to others. We were sometimes happy, sometimes, dissappointed, but always loyal at our games.
