offs; the skating race elimination con-
tests for both men and women; relay
skating races; brombal contest between
the Junior College Girls and the G. A.

Owing to the thaw which made the
rings miniature lakes and the snow
soft as mush, festivities were at
standstill on Saturday and only the
Jubilee Mixer Ball was held that even
ing at the Washington auditorium. The
auditorium was crowded to the doors
and dancing became somewhat of
hardship. Three hundred couples made
merry at the ball at which novelties
and noisemakers were distributed.
Johnny Snrekar and His Orchestra
furnished the music.
A floor show was put on in which
Lemuel Anderson gave several baritone
solos; Miss Joan Thompson tap danced,
and Miss Esther Martinetti and Miss
Geraldine Johnston sang with the or
chestra. The Big Apple contest was
participated in by four couples and
the jubilee prize was awarded to a
couple composed of Miss Peggy Lambert
and Joseph Senta. Miss Ida Conossa
of Virginia had spent Friday and Sat-
urday morning here for the purpose of
giving instructions in the dance She
had groomed eight couples to take part
in the contest but only four partici-
pated. Mrs. Floyd Dunstan played the
music for the Big Apple dance.
The decorated sled contest on Sun
day brought out an array of hand
somely decorated sleds. The winners in
the contest were Donald Snyker and
his sister, Rose Marie; Leona Kozar,
Joye Forsman, Arthur Tome, Joan
Dragavon, Amelia Oberstar, Bernard
Pruse and Frances Sterk
The tug-of-war between the Pickands,
Mather team and the Oliver team,
under the direction of James Mitchell,

shortest tail; Billy Kvas, Richard
Camaish and Phyllis Ann Draeger for
the dog with the longest tail; Ed.
Kurrie, Arthur zorman, Joyce Draeger
and Frank Jerich for the smallest dog;
The thaw of Saturday and Sunday
knocked out the cross country ski con-
test as well as the events scheduled for
the rink. The broomball contest was
tied and will be decided later we are
informed by those in charge of this
event. The cancellation of the ice fol-
lies was a matter of regret to the large
number of interested spectators who
were promised an appearance of the
troupe providing the ice will permit.
Prizes for the snow modelling con-
test were awarded to Mrs Grace Sea-
berg for her group of Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs. Second prize went
to Torsti Frantti who modelled a dog
and third to Joe Kuzma for his sailor.
In the snow man contest, Albin Lenich
received first, Joe Kuzma, second and
Joe Kotchevar, third
Considering the hard blow handed
the Jubilee by the weather man, the
three days were considered a success
from financial standpoint as well as
community proposition and the favor
with which it met established the
Jubilee as one of the winter attractions
for this city.
