Blue Crystal Ball
Climaxes Sno-Week
Friday, February 22, saw the
climax of Sno-Week with the
"Blue Crystal Ball" at the Pla-
Mor. Johnny Roberts and his
eight piece orchestra and vocalist provided the dancing pleasure which was from nine until
one.
The decorations for the dance
consisted of a large revolving
crystal ball in the center of the
floor. From this the dance floor
was spotlighted in blue. Added
decorations were a giant snow
man which added to the atmosphere of the dance, and blue and
white streamers gave the effect
of a dropped ceiling.
The refrsehments for the dance
were light blue punch and dainty
butterscotch brownies and snowman cookies.
Altogether, with the capoble
planning of Augie Schleicher and
his social committee, the dance
certainly was a grand climax to
our Sno-Week.

manager would buy him a free
cup of coffee and a roll. Two
of the students posed as unlicens-
