band Monday evening, February

Club was host at a Mid-Winter
Formal Dancing Party at the
beautiful Columbia Chalet on Cen

colorful and attractive gowns of
the ladies against the conventional
evening attire of the men lent a
festive air to the occasion. The
party committee was headed by

Alpha Phi Alpha Recital

cultural event in the Twin Cities
this season was the presentation of
Elmer Harris, baritone, in recital
at Pilgrim Baptist Church, Friday,
February II, at 8 p. M, under the
auspices of Mu chapter, Alpha Phi
Alpha fraternity. A crowd of ap-
proximately five hundred packed
every available seat in Pilgrim to
applaud this young singer on his
way to future success. Mrs. Maude
Mitchell of Sheridan, Wyoming,
mother of Mr.. Harris, was here for
the occasion.
