lou know, sometimes we wish these
Jnries that arc selecting the winners Of
the lim'rick contest would just keen on
judging indefinitely. because we Ger
talnly do hate to tear ourselves away.
One of these times was when those
attending the fifteenth annual ball of the
Alpha Phi Honorary Fraternity in the
ballroom Of the Bellevue Stratford
Hotel selected the winning lin rick that
is announced today.
Take It from us, with all those hun
drcds Of attractive gi-ls floating around
on every side, we were not at oil
anxious to leave. but when the hands
of the clock began to roach the weo
sma' hours of the morning. we simply
had to beat it. because our usual time
for going to bed il many hours earlier
When you are as old and feeble as we
arc. you simply have TO get to bed,
or you cant lin rick thc next day.
And. gee We just have to lin rick
Tho committee in charge Of the dance
also was in charge of the lin rick bal
loting, They were Joseph Rae. chair
man Lewis r. Lewis. Casius Ramsdell.
Richard Clark. Howard NJ. Jacobs and
Charles wilkinson
Other attractions at tho dance that
served to keep us out Of bed longer
than usual were the exhibition dancers
and the stars from the various theatres
who came forward 10 add 10 the general
gayety.
The University of Pennsylvania musi
cal clubs also played four concert num-
hers, which made decided hits. And the
decorations of the ballroom were stun
ming; but, honestly. no decorations were
needed after those hundreds Of girls ap-
peared on the scene. 1t was just like
painting the hly-or something.
Wien the votes were finally counted
after tho dance we found that the win
ming lin rick had been written by:
