The Group Ten Club gracefully
swayed into quick-step with another
grand and glorious dance on Thursday,
May 90 at the beautiful Elks' Ballroom
in Central Square, Cambridge. AS the
club advertised, large group of SOL
diers of the 366th Infantry, now sta
toned at Fort Devens, Aver, Mass,
were on hand under the command of
Sgt. Raymond Baxter, blending in
with the host of people who were all
swinging to the tantalizing music of
Sandy, Boston's king at the piano
and his orchestra. The soldiers, who
were transported to Cambridge by
bus, were greeted by the many friends
and patrons of the club. Harold Will
son, chairman of the dance committee,
stated that 'the scene that confronted
the late comers was one that proved
the club had scored another victory,
and all those who did not attend this
dance, really missed a grand affair"
