no Stone unturned that might add
to the Pleasure of the OCCASION

time.---The Tickets are Four Dol
Iars.---The Floor, the Music and

---Notes on the approaching event.
OF all social functions given on an
elaborate scale in the entire state,
none surpass in brillianey, none are
looked forward to with such expec
fancy and none give as much pleas
ure when given a retrospective
glance as does the military ball and
reception given annually by the
corps of cadets of the West Virginia
University For many years the
military ball has been given. In
February Of '95 Lieutenant Ramsey
endeared himself to all devotees of
Terpsichore by establishing stand
ard for this dance. Each following
committee has patterned after HIM
and striven to excel his standard
No one invents a thing and perfects
it at the same time The committees
this year have almost arrived at that
4stage known as perfection.
~ For the complete enjoyment OF a
Chop there are three essentials. First,
Che floor must be in a condition
5uitable for dancing. When it is
SHOWN that Biological Hall has been
Secured it will be evident at once
5shat no criticism can be offered on
Chat account. Second the music.
@fJood orchestras have at different
4bimes furnished music for Morgan
@6town. OF them all, Guenther Of
HPittsburg has been the most APP
!. plauded We doubt seriously if bet
ter orchestra could be found closer
than Cincinnati or Washington.
Guenther's complete orchestra OF
twelve pieces will be here that night.
Third, the people; of course Nor
gantown's fairest will turn out en-
mdSse Then from Parkersburg,
Charleston, Wheeling, Uniontown,
Clarksburg, in fact from all neigh
boring towns comes the elite to honor
us with their presence. OF secon-
Diary Importance to these three es-
sentials are the refreshments. Ices
will be served buffet. At intermis-
sion an elaborate spread of eight
courses wilt be set by a prominent
Pittsburg caterer, probably Luther
and Kennedy.
The reception committee will con-
:sist of the ladies in town augmented
by several patronesses from out of
town. The reception will be at
$50 followed by the hop at nine.
The program will consist of TWEEN
ty-four dances interspersed with the
usual extras" The livery men of
town have agreed to run that night
at the rate of one dollar couple for
the round trip. The committee in
charge is composed of Captain G. f.
Mccoy, chairman, Lieut.. G.. H. Os-
borne, Lieut.. Geo. E. Gramm, Lieut.
W. G. Kilmer and Lieut.. Desmoines
UT.
