Understand the dance at the
Hay Now given by the Bowling
League was a success Sorry /
couldn't make II. There would
have been more people there II
league had advertised in this
paperl
The Beaux Arts Ball given by
the Twenty-Five After Fun Club
was quite the affair. Bessie Helm
won first plize wearing a little
red page outfit. Second prize
went TO Daisy Davis dressed as a
convict. Those Of you who weren't
there really missed something,
The costumes were all something
to see. Many impersonators were
there, but is was difficult to tell
whether some were or weren't.
Saw Joe Ray, Craig Williams.
Toya Oden. Edna Shaw. Marlene
Allen, orie Parks. Van White,
Mary Kate Breedlove, Donald
williams, Donald Gates, Walter
Mcfarland. Horace Collins. Con-
ME Turner, and many others. In
spite Of the rain, It turned out to
be pretty nice.
AS stated in last weeks coli
umn which appeared on the back
page Of the Recorder and spoItes-
man newspapers, in case many of
you didn't see 1t, the University
Of Minnesota students did have a
wonderful time Thursday, the last
day Of finals. A party was also
held by Colleen johnson at her
home on Saturday night. All had
a swell time Saturday night, too.
Tommye Adams left the city
Friday for Chicago where she
will spend her Easter vacation.
Funny how a little touch Of
spring win bring everyone out to
church. / wonder If your church
was as crowded as st. Phillips
was Sunday. If so, then you know
what I mean. Elmer Morris had
the top down on his convertible
and his camera ready to take pic
lures. Saw Gloria wragg and her
little Emma up at the drug
store. Harrison williams and
Beverly Carroll were out along
with Petey Vassar and Bill. Yes,
Sunday was a great day. but why
did it have to rain7
Well, kids, it's Pow-wow sea-
son. Who is going to be the first
to get one up7 That is II it
doesn't snow any more. Remem-
Der Katie Curry's (McWatt) out
at Glenwood? Certain people
went in swimming in spite Of the
rain. Someone lost some vitality
needed clothing. Then there was
the Pow-wow out at Round Lake,
and it rained that night too. Two
Of the fellows ran off with the re-
freshments and hid them. They
hid them so well that later on
they couldn't find them.
No one knows to thss day II
they ever were found. Jean
Brown was here then, and she
had us all playing games. The
games turned out to be a riot. The
next day, a few were In the dog
house, but those who weren't had
to go back out to the cabin to
clean up. II was a wreck.
Then again, maybe you can re-
member Robert and Trudy Worm
ley's pow-wow up at their cabin
Someone forgot the hot dogs and
had to drive all the way back In
to town for them. II was a cold
night, and a bon fire was hard to
start. With the help Of the Boy
Scouts. Reginald Allen, Rudgy
Thompson, Puzzy Wallace and
Fred Ingram. it was started and
ended up 70 be quite a big one.
Or do you remember the Pow
WOW out at Round Lake that end
ed up with the girls walking down
the road leaving the fellows be-
hind? I wonder II anyone can re-
member why? Maybe Katherine
Robinson, Erlyne Neal. Connie
Brown, Joyce iVassar. Rosamond
Banham and LaDoris Foster can
tell me. One Of the cars lost an
axle on the way out to the cabin,
and a tow truck had to come and
get it the next day.
The N.NCs had Pow-wow
once long ago. The fellows had
Just started smoking and a few
became awfully sick It was out
at Como Park. Louis House was
q chaprone. and as soon as he
had part Of the group lined up to
go home, the other half would
disappear. II took him an hour to
get everyone together. Joe Ray
was at the height OF his career
