separated from the dance floor by
red and white streamers. A Val

floor. Nat Lovelace and his or

dance.
For refreshments, pimento

society, sister to the Delphian so
ciety, provided hat check girls.
For the floor show during inter
mission, a magician entertained
with a number of good tricks.
The large number of students
who attended enjoyed the dance
very much. “Speedy” Cranford,
president of the club, was very
much pleased with the hard work
of the mem’bers and the results of
their work. The dance is a tradi
tional affair sponsored by the Del-
