The coming of Spring was wel-
«^omed by the students at a dance
held at the Wilson armory last
Friday night*, sponsored by the
Social Commlllee of ACC.
The dance was well attended
and was carried out in the Easter
theme. Prior to the dance, the
Social Committee spent numerous
hours making preparations tor
tbe dance.
Music for the dance was furn-
Ished by Joe Davla and his orch«
estra, well-known around Wilson
and one ot the up an coming bands
in Eastern North Carolina.
Wa8 Enjoyable
The dance ^as a success for more |
reasons than ope. In the first ‘
place it was a dance, and a very |
nice one at that. Second, the i
students knew that spring holi-|
days were just around the comer!
and many seemed to take advant'
age of the dance to celebrate that
fact.
In the past, the Social Commit
tee has played a prominent part
in haring dances here. At tbe
beginning of the fall term, It
sponsored a Welcome dance. There
was a Hallowe’en party in the
gym and a Valentine party under
their direction.
