Give Successful Benefit Ball
The dance and program given un-
der the auspices of the Business and
Professional Women's Club on the
evening of December 9Th was very
successful affair both socially and fin
ancially. More than five hundred per-
sons were in attendance during the
evening, many of whom came especial
ly for the delightful program pre-
pared under the direction Of the
city schools and the Normal School,
! physical education instructors of the
t Miss Marion Gray and Miss Lulu
Potts respectively. In addition to
these feature dances, Mrs. Hove and
Mr.. Heen performed the Norwegian
Spring Dance which was very en-
Enthusiastically received.
A very impressive unit was the ap-
pearance of the "Boys of the Old
Brigade" the honored veterans of the
! Civil War represented by Mr.. r. G.
, Conklin and Mr.. Callaghan, escorted
: by two boy scouts, Melvin Stenson and
! Lewis Connors, each bearing the
Colors. While the audience cheered,
the Boys in Blue and their Kahki
color bearers marched briskly down
Left Behind Me. AS the veterans
reached their places Of honor the
scouts stood at attention, while the
audience led by Mr.. John Howard,
sang the Star Spangled Banner.
! The program Of the evening opened
with a graceful and picturesque Gre
clan dance interpreted by group OF
white robed Normal School girls. This
was followed by an English folk
dance-Sellenger's Round tripped by
fourteen gaily decked girls who thor
oily enjoyed the number as did the
/ spectators. The days of 1860 were
revived thru twoo numbers--the one
| by Miss Virginia Daniels as the very
charming Petite Coquet, who can
show the "happer" several tricks
the other The Dancing Topsy---a re-
| mindcr of the old South The audi
! cnce insisted that the piccaninies re-
! peat their number.
The Virginia Reel was very etfec-
| lively danced in splendid costume by
twelve members Of the Business Girls
! Club. This was followed by a most
charming Minuet danced by five little
misses of the kindergarten age. 1t
! was indeed the mnuet in miniature
most attractively performed The
. Varsovienne brought back late nine
teenth century practices the twentieth
century performers handling it with
proper Interpretation. 'The Black
BIRDS was very attractive perform
! ance from the viewpoint of skillful]y
! produced costuming as well as of the
dance itself. They could easily have
mingled with the Chanticleer group
and passed for real blackbirds on Ro-
, stands stage. Twelve young women
performed the Tarantella with all the
grace and happy abandon of the ltal-
ian peasant. 1t was an excellent rep
resentation Of the type in the nation
al dance. Poland's Jolly Corlege'
! was happily named--a jolly ten they
, were garbed in the bright colors Of
their land, while they read into the
! music the vim and vivacity of the
Polish people. The Aesthetic daEce--
The Butterfly, was a difficult and pie
, turesque number delightfully."- per-
formed. 1t was very enthusia stcally
! received as was the final number-the
most recent ballet form---Thv Skaters
! Eighteen high school girls---appropri
ately and sttractively costuned with
most charming ease and grace verita-
! bly, "skated' to the swinging, swaying
! movement Of the ballet music 1t was
a splendid and spectacular closing
number for the hour of the program
preceding the assembly dancing
The social dancing was in charge of
Professor w. w. Hall, former presi-
dent Of the National Association of
Dancing Masters, who directed sever
al of the old-time dances, as well as
