ANNIVERSARY BALL
Attended Largely and a Huge
Success

The Anniversary ball OF the Owl club
which was given last Monday evening
unquestionably surpassed every like
event held within the past several years.
In point Of attendance and enjoyment,
the Armory hall was jammed almost to
suffocation by dancers from all parts of
the county, including several from Den
yer and other outside points. Magnifi-
Gently decorated with bunting and crepe
paper, brilliantly illuminated by dozens
Of incandescents and the floor cleaned
as it had never been before and waxed
to almost CLASSY smoothness, the old
hall which has heretofore occasioned so
much comment on account of its un-
cleanliness was a yeritable palace OF
irridescent splendour. The stage which
was occupied by Koenigsberg's orchestra
of eight pieces was beautifully arranged
with costly scenery which added attract
lively to the rest OF the ball room.
The festivities commenced at about
nine o'clock when the grand march was
begun. This was led by Mr.. Louis
Rachofsky and lady and many more
couples followed the leading pair and
gracefully executed the movements of
the number. From nine o'clock until
twelve without cessation the dancers
waltzed and two o-stepped to their hearts
content, under the CLEAN Of red, white
and blue lights that we're turned on
alternately, which gave the surround
ings the calcium effect.
Supper was announced shortly before
twelve. The spread was prepared by
the ladies Of the Maccabees and was-im-
mense. The hungry revelers were served
with turkey, dressing, escalloped pota-
toes, salads, cranberries, cake, several
different kinds Of desserts, and in short
everything the inner man could wish for
was on the tables. Supper was served
in the A. o. U. W. hall which afforded
everyone plenty of room.
Dancing was resumed as soon as the
midnight meal had been finished and
strange as it may seem the attendance
at the late had not decreased to such an
SASCht bhot ~ Couiu oc uUtlCt0 dI all.
For a time it looked as though the
dancers would remain until daylight of
the next morning. and punsibly they

Home Waltz shortly after o'clock.
The ball was the topic OF conversation
on the street the next day Everybody

fortunate as to not be present, "You
should have been there" and before eve
ming these who didn't take 10 the event
agreed with their CONSIDERS that they
should certainly have been 10 attend
ance. The people were we'll pleased
with the entertainment accorded them
and we'll they should be. As Mr..
kachofsky said in the remarks he ad-
dressed to the dancers during the fore
part OF the evening relative to the club,
the organization ever since its existence
OF a year ago had always endeavored to
make their dances and other entertain
ments most pleasant for their guests.
That the Owls have succeeded most ad-
mirably in their intentions is evidenced
from the manner in which their func-
tions are attended.
May the Owl club live forever and
prosper.
