From behind banks of multi
colored clouds floated the “heav
enly” strains of Shifer Fulleinvider
and his band, who jilayed every
body’s old favorite as well as the
latest hits.
From eighty-thirty until the
clock struck twelve, “heaven” was
gay with “angels” and their escorts,
■which included civilians and service
men of every branch. The stag line
■was sui'iirisiiigly long—it seems
that everybody’s stags turned up at
the last minute, in spite of the
previous I.C.C.’s. Intermission came
at just the right time for everybody
to run around and see people they
hadn’t seen for years, and room
mates and their dates got together
and discussed the situation. “ATasn’t^
it fun meeting your best friends’
favorite men, and didn’t they look
good ?” Lime sherbert a la ginger
ale‘ ivas a perfect substitute for the
nectar and ambrosia of the gods.
ATasn’t the moon pretty from the
pen, or did the rain dripping from
the willow tree smear your pancake ?
The damj) air probably made your
hair fall, but have you ever seen an
“angel” with curly hair?
