Inc masquerade ana dance held
Friday evening Tor the benefit Of
the Athletic Association was a grand
success IN more ways than one. The
booths for the sale or ice cream, can
lay and CIDER were aLtractlyely deco
raLed as were the booths for the t1sh
pond and hoop-a-Ia. The fortune tel
Ter also had an attractive booth. The
costumes were very unique ana
showed considerable Work. They
showed all classes of society from
angels to His satanic Majesty. Dur
ing the evening dancing and prom
enadIng were enjoyed. The marches
were led by Harlan Tolman, Mr.. Cot
ton, Reginald FISK ana the ladies'
choice by Miss Merle Chandler. One
of the special features of the evening
was a moonlight dance. The regular
lighting current was diminished SO
that the light was very dim. During
the dance the new moon was seen
to rise from the platform, it hung
in mid air for few moments ana
then set. For the two encores the
moon appeared full, it arose and set,
as before, from behind a screen on
the platform Another feature OF
the evening was the presentation to
Mr.. Cotton of watch fob from the
members of the football team. Man
ager Smith made the presentation
and Mr.. Cotton responded with
few brief remarks. During the last
dance serpentine rolls were civ en- to
the Fellows and at a given signal
they threw them over strings stretch
ed between the rafters. This gave the
hall very pleasing appearance with
the many colored ribbons hanging
from the rafters. The dancing was
in charge of Reginald Fisk and Miss
Jouett. The candy and ice cream
was in charge of Misses Merle
Chandler and Lillian Dunton. The
decorations were under the direction
of Miss Nolan and Mr.. Cotton SUI
pervised the construction of the
booths. Lawrence Doty presided
over the cider keg. samuel Puffer
had charge of the fish pond and
George Hinman supervised the
Hoop-a-Ia. Miss Ruth Wilder made
a very successful fortune-teller. The
general committee having the affair
in charge were: Harlan Tolman, Per-
cy Judd, Alvin Cotton, Lawrence
Doty, Reginald Fisk, Samuel Puffer,
George Human and the Misses Nc
Lam, Jouett, Chandler, beware,

this benefit the treasury of the Ath-
letic Benent has about $65 more to
its credit than it did before.
