| OlSoo VI lHC W C0tISA
last Friday night the handsome aue
spacious ballroom of the cadets Of thu
Virginia Military Institute was thu
scene of delightful Easter german
gwen by the cadets. The event sur
passed all expectations and is pro-
nouneed by all to have been the crown
ing social event of fhe season. Cads
G. II. Minge led, ably assisted by hi
charming partner, Miss Bessie Hunter
of Richmond. Many new and origlna
fig Tres were introdnced-the style @
the figures being ingenious militar,
manoeuvers, which drew forth louc
applause from the spectators.
The german continued until after
o'clock when The leader decided t.
tuin it into hop owing to the s1tri
large number OF stays present. With
the hop the occasion became all thu
liveller. Such a scene as was witnessed
is hard 10 describe. Each girl had
string of stags pleading for dance
making it hard to decide who wsr,
the particular favorites. Miss Alice
Kelly, Miss Bessie Hunter, the Misses
Roller, Miss Elizabeth Thompson, an6
Miss Annette Polk seemed to be re.
ceivlng an unusually large share Of
attention.
The german as q whole was one oil
the greatest social successes ever
attained here during the year and
equalled many of the final germans.
Cadets Rice, Robertson and Biscoe
acted as assistant leaders. Light re-
freshments were served throughout
the evening.
