New Years Eve falling on Sun
day night did nothing to cut down
on society's gayety on the big
night of the year. The fact that
many Of the usual places for cele-
bration were not open only served
to produce a staggering list of
private parties.
A year ago Mr.. and Mrs. c.
Thomas Clagett reserved the Sui
grave Club for one such private
party: the Burdette Wrights'
Kalorama Road home was the
scene Of another-a subscription
dance for the young married set;
Mrs. Dwight Davis gave her usual
New Years Eve AFFAIR." small
dinner with 30 or 40 guests COM
ing in afterwards for dancing;
Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius Bretsch
were hosts at their annual dinner
for go or more. and another sub
scription dance took place in the
Foxhall Road home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Daniel Partridge. To mention
a few.
The Sulgrave Club was trans
formed into tropical scene with
bamboo trees and birds of Para
disc for Mr.. and Mrs. C1agett's IS
dance that got under way at 1890
o'clock and lasted till dawn. Meyer
Davis and his orchestra provided
the dance music. A buffet supper
was served at midnight.
The hosts stood at the head of
the stairs to greet their guests,
many Of whom came from out of
town for the party. Mrs. Clagett
wore a blue lace gown and the
exquisite sapphires that belonged
to her mother. the late Mrs.
Joseph Letter.
" Dinners preceding the dance in
cluded the one given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Letter. Mrs. Clagett's
brother and sister, -in-law who re-
turned the middle Of last week

Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene Carusi,

AS for New Years resolutions
and the more serious side of life,
every time one comes to mind it
turns out to be something that
would do so much more good II
the Soviets resolved 1t instead OF
us. One hates to think what their
resolutions for this year may be,
unless, of course, one is willing to
accept the message the Soviet AM
bassador has sent out for the oc-
casion. The simply engraved card
read, "The Ambassador Of the
Soviet Socialist Republics extends
his greetings and best wishes
for the New Year" Whoever the
recipients were, they undoubtedly
received it in the same spirit in
which it was sent. Frankly, sort
of wish the President would sit
down and write letter in answer
to that one.
The cancellation of the annual
December Gridiron Club dinner

upon State Missions that cannot
be answered because Of lack of
funds. All funds for this work
come from the gifts of the men,
bers of the $500 Baptist churches
in North Carolina. Chairman
Beam adds his appeal and chal-
lenge to that of other leaders
that North Carolina Baptists
may meet this challenge in a
fine way as they look to the spe-
cial offering in October for State
Missions.

Fdculty Aheod Up
To Lost z Minutes:
Win Come BY
Score Of 57-56

Sore muscles were in or
der yesterday as the high
school faculty tried to re-
superate from plyaing the
High School Varsity basket
ball team.
The six men faculty
squad, challenged by the
varsity, put their aging
muscles to work and edged
out a 57-56 win. They had
the help of a pair of very
partial referees
The faculty led the entire game
only to have the varsity, led by
Ken Babo, go into the lead by
five points with two minutes to
play. John Gutman, George Hough
and Ed Beckman dropped in long
shots to win the game by lone
point.
Everyone of the faculty scored
two or more points with every
type of shot in the book. The most
spectacular shot, that won the
game, was big George Haugh's
high arched shot from mid-court.
Coach Ed Beckman with 10 and
Coach Jones with II points scored
the most. Coach Van was the big
defensive ace aolng with John
Gutman
All on the high school team
scored not only field goals. but
took out their pet grudses on
the faculty in some well placed
blocks and elbows in the facul-
tY soft spots.
Principal Ed Schweitzer enter
ed the game at half time and
sank the foul shot that finally
won the game after three at
tempts.
The varsity has challenged the
faculty for a return game, but the
athletic departments supply has
been exhausted until next year,
so it is doubtful if the challenge
can be met
