affair. No one will be admitted with
out the necessary facial adornment.
Door prizes, a Grand March, and an
unusual Floor Show will further add
to the program. Refreshments which
are to be sweet (absolutely) cider and
doughnuts (with holes) will be served
at intermission.
As for music, this will be furnished

Peterson already has nine counts on
Gordon Bennett. This should be of
great interest to all dancers who like

Leon Mead is General Chairman in
charge of the dance. He is being as

Mary Green, Entertainment; Martin
Shimko, Publicity; Dick Peterson, Or

advertising—not news), but that
should not be considered for this is
