Too much praise cannot be given to the band and the other students who contributed to the entertainment of our guests during these two days and especially on Tuesday evening.

[ROSS VOLUNTEERS PRESENT THEIR BEST ON FRIDAY The Second Dance of the R. V. Sea- son Acclaimed as the Best That Could Be The great night was Friday night, the climax of the R. V. season, when the second dance of the week given by the Ross Volunteers, passed in- to history as the supreme affair of the school year. This is the pro- nouncement made by hundreds of A. and M. cadets who had as partners for the dance their idols in the fem- inine world picked from the pret- tiest of Texas’ society for this special occasion. Never could there have been greater demonstrations of gaiety and levity by youths in the ‘enjoyment of the terpischorean art. | The grand march began at nine | o'clock and was led by W. T. Burns and Miss Gertrude Ballard. The long line of couples as it drew out on the floor and formed the letter “R” | resembled a fancy multi-colored rib- bon, one-half of it white, suggested by the snow-white uniformed Ross | Volunteers, and the other half with all colors of the rainbow which were |seen in the beautiful gowns of the | ladies. The effect was perfect. | A most generous, artful and use- ful present made to each gentleman and lady present was the program of the dance. For the gentleman this was a costly leather card case con- taining the program, on which was also printed the names of the chaperones for the dance and the | . : { names of the officers and all meng | bers of the Ross Volunteers. The [ladies received a neat and equally | valuable vanity case on the inside of | Which was the same program. Print- led on the front cover was the seal of | the Ross Volunteers and on the back | the College seal. The gift was a {good example of the determination | of the Ross Volunters to allow no lcost to enter into their plans for making this occasion an exceptional one, deserving the memory of every- one who accepted their hospitality. Stewart's Jazz Orchestra from Memphis, Tennessee, the same one that played for the dance on Thurs- day night furnished the music on this | night also. The number of dancers Friday night exceeded that of Thursday night by fifty couples, there being at least two hundred and fifty couples on the floor the second night. More Bryan people were present and the crowd was also enhanced by a goodly number of girls who did not reach College Station in time to par- ticipate in the first event. a mm A student enterprise—backed by the students—and endorsed by the College, is the recommendation FINN’S FILM SERVICE has.
