DU POINT CLUB NOTES

The big party that was scheduled
for the evening of Washington's
birthday ran foul of the snow storm,
and was postponed till the next night
and as the next night was no better,
| it was of course an easy matter to
postpone it again. 1t finally did
materialize on Tuesday evening, Feb.
28, and it certainly lost nothing by
the delay, as all the folks were just
itching to slide their feet around a
bit, after being copied up a. week
with nothing to do. Harry Fahrig,
the official census man, says that
there were SO couples present as well
as few scattering ladies who were
not definitely attached, and every
square foot of the floor was in use
most Of the time.
| Signor Camelli and his Garland
City thermometers were on the plat
form, and spun out the jazz in superb
form. A novel feature was a pla-
card bearing the number, kind, and
title of each dance, and this poster
proved very useful to the dancers in
arranging their programs, although
several contracted severe headaches
from not being accustomed to such
complicated bookkeeping. The large
amount of basket ball shoe rubber
which has interfered somewhat with
the dancing lately on the gym floor
was completely covered up and
smoothed over by corn meal, which
worked lot better than floor wax,
and gave a fine surface.
As the last dance before Lent, the
party was complete success, and
ought to tide over the faithful until
the glad dawn of Easter Monday.
The Barksdale Plant bowling team
got careless with the pins again the
other night, when they spilled the
naples to the number of 1854, in
their 10th match of the inter-plant
tournament. This score increased
their lead from about 400 pins to
somewhere near 600 over Louviers,
their most dangerous opponent, and
as there are only two matches left
to roll, things are sort of clearing up
in the west. To date, the Barksdale
team has copied everything single
high game and high average for in
dividual games and they are now go
ing after those two little distinctions
with much enthusiasm. Lund, Axel-
berg, Wegsteen and Ross are among
the first seven in Individual average,
and the fifth man, Lumsdon, has a
high enough average for the first
seven, but hasn't rolled enough
games yet.
A party of about thirty couples
held a dance in the gym On Saturday
evening, Feb. Is, just by way of re-
lief from that showed in feeling. Mr..
and Mrs. Carlson and Jack MacRae
furnished the music, and did good
job of it, and the evening was much
enjoyed.
The secretary's report for Feb.
shows that the club is now in the clear
as far as assets and liabilities are
concerned, and this is surely fine
showing. When you consider the
large total of the debts which snow
ed the Y under last fall, and which
j. the Club assumed On December l.,
and think of how business has been
during the past three months, you
wonder how it was possible to keep
the Club going at all. AS a mat
ter of fact, at the close of February
the accounts showed balance, over
and above all outstanding debts, of
something like $1,000, and as the in
ventory of stock represents less than
$4,000, the financial condition is
very satisfactory, and much better
than was anticipated at his time.
The manager and the Board of Gov
ernors, of the Club deserve a great
deal of credit for the way they have
pulled things through under decid-
eddy adverse conditions.
