ALUMNI DANCE PROVES
DELIGHTFUL REUNION

Notwithstanding the fact that
successful reunions have been held
at the Christmas season year after
year by the Alumni Association of
the Perth Amboy high school, the
dance given last night with over
seventy-hve couples present was the
most successful held in years both
socially and financially, and sur
passed all expectations of the many
members and friends of the asso-
citation who attended. Many of the
former graduates who haven't at
tended a reunion in their alma
mater for years were present last
night to enjoy the informal dance
with Louis Z. Booz, of the class of
'O6. as the master OF ceremonies.
The music furnished by Nat Kess-
ler's orchestra of five pieces from
New York City with its novel enter
tainment was exceptionally fine and
more than met the eager anticipa-
ton of the crowd. Moonlight waltz
es and fuckers were also features of
the evening and refreshments of
punch served by Miss Elizabeth
Dolan and her committee. The hol-
iday spirit and spirit of good fellow
ship played a prominent part in
making the reunion m long to be
remembered by the former class
mates and members of the associa-
ton.
Plans are being made by the pres
ident, Ezra Karkus. to hold at least
two more reunions during the conf
ing year, one during the Easter va
cation and the other to be given in
honor of the graduating class short
ly before graduation. The same or
chestra has been secured for both
of these occasions.
