An event long to be remembered by
the members and friends of San Saliva

petitor for the gentlemen's prize and
Edward Dolan received second prize.

ISOLATION trophy.

O'Clock when the hall was cleared and
dancing to the strains of st. Andrassys
orchestra enjoyed by about 100 couples
from this city, South Amboy, Roosevelt
and Woodbridge. At IL O'Clock Cos
tello Brothers, caterers, served ices and
cake. Two large punch bowls placed
at each end of the hall afforded punch
to the thirsty merry makers throughout
the evening. At midnight dancing was
resumed until two O'Clock when the
crowd dispersed voting the event one
of extreme pleasure.
