. COSTUME BALL
Like some gay scene of King Arthur's
merry court was the costume
ball given Friday evening at the
Country Club for the benefit of the
High School Athletic Association.
Brilliant and colorful were the costumes
varying from turbaned turkish
chieftain to simple clown, from
Queen of Hearts to court jester.
The club was decorated in maroon
and gold, the colors of the 'athletic
association the scheme being carried
out in the . balloons and lights, contrasting
with fresh cut pine boughs,
footballs, mitts and gloves. The
dimmed lights were enhanced in
large degree by a brilliant moon.
General dancing was the order
early in the evening. A miniature
football team ran a few signals over
the floor to the amusement of the
large crowd present after which began
the erand march, led by Billy
Long, captain gf the football team,
and Miss Annie Wilson, as the King
and Queen of Hearts. Following were
upward of a hundred couples,
gaily bedecked in colors of most contrasting
hue. Bringing up the rear
of the procession were Mary Neuffer
mascot, and Jimmy Owen, dressed
as clowns. The colors of the marchers
increased with the addition of
naner cans handed out as favors.
Further general dancing was interspersed
with a charming and
graceful exhibition dance by) Miss
Caroline Reese and Allen Haskell.
Kay's Okays were responsible for
much of the success of the evening
and to them is due thanks.
Vieing with the din of music was
the cry of sandwich sellers and vendors
of moonshine. Thea6 refreshments
were on sale from attractive
booths in corners of the porch. An
excellent imitation of a real still
was the source of much delicious
punch, sold at five cents a glass. Out
in the grove was the fortune teller's
tent, and the Misses Howie were successful
prophets as well as good collectors
of coin, as each sitter had
to ''cross the palm" in generous
fashion else no good horoscope was
forthcoming. The
evening was thoroughly enjoyable
and highly profitable to the
athletic fund. About a hundred dollars
was the sum realized.
The junior committee appointed to:
raise money was. in charge of the I
entertainment. These were Miss
Sara Barnes, chairman; Miss Ruth
Howie, Miss Margaret Bradley, and
Miss Gladys Barnes. i
