.'As we shall soon reach the time for
final adjournment, it has seemed best
to me to call your attention to d few
matters that ought to receive your

SNOWSHOE CLUB WINDS
UP SUCCESSFUL YEAR
WITH BRILLIANT BALL

The elimination of the most sue
cessful season in the history of the
Snowshoe Club came last evening with
the brilliant ball held IN the armory
under the auspices of that organiza-
ton. The big drill sned, a blaze OF
light and color, was filled with a gay
crowd of snowshoers and their friends.
After a winter filed with pleasant
weekly tramps which were followed
by informal dances and suppers. the
affair last evening proved fitting eli
max to the winters fun.
On entrance to the dance floor the
attention was called to the massive
white numerals on the western wall,
st. J. Snowshoe Club 1903-1917. The
walls were decorated in an attractive
manner with the insignia of the sport
Skis and snowshoes were pleasingly
and effectively arranged. while the
windows and castings cleaned with
their masses of glstening snow and
ice, reminder of the evenings spent
on the hills during the winter of 1917.
Over head, swinging from the steel
roof girders were large tobogans sur
mounted and trimmed with wreaths
and sprays of evergreen. while the
large platform from which Sargent's
orchestra rendered pleasing music for
the dancers. was partly hidden in a
fringe of snow-clad fir trees.
In the eastern corner of the room,
with the proper woodsy atmosphere
stood the old iron kettle tri-podded
above red blaze, from which the
grub stake of the evening in the
form of delicious punch dispensed by
Master Charles and Miss Mary Rath-
bum Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Howes was
the committee in charge of the COM
missary department Of this feature oc-
casion, and the striking and appro-
pirate decoration were arranged by
committee composed of Miss Wilda
Wells, Lester Mcpherson and Mr.. and
Mrs. J. S. Barker.
At $50 sharp, the orchestra opened
the evenings festivities with the grand
march led by the president, Val Genge
| and Miss Beatrice Badger. From the
first dance to the good night waltz
of the "a number dance order there
was one round of enjoyment enlivened
by novel dances. Among them was
the round robin one step, and a one
step waltz. Confetti and streamers
also played their part in the program.
At intermission refreshments were
| served in the big dining room in the
| basement of the armory. 4rs3is
