THE THUG HOP
DANCE A GREAT SUCCESS—AT-
TENDED BY VISITORS FROM
ALL OVER STATE.
Ball Given in Honor of Southwestern
Champions Big Success—Every
thing Artistically Planned.
The most delightful event of the
fall and one celebrating the close of
a glorious football season was the
Thanksgiving hop on last Friday
evening, November 29, 1912. The
floor of the temporary Mess Hall was
lined off to represent a football grid
iron, hundreds of pennants hung from
the'walls, and long streamers of red
and white veiled the ceiling and added
color and warmth to the scene of
loveliness and animation.
Herb & Lewis’ orchestra were
ensconced in a nook walled off from
the rest of the room by red bunting
and grey moss, and in the same man
ner the rear end of the hall was con
verted into a tempting gathering
place with soft rugs, rocking chairs,
easy couches, and long mirrors every
where.
The grand march, in whch more
than one hundred couples took part,
was led by our star quarterback, Mr.
Robert A. Kern, and Miss Ryman of
Calvert, followed by Mr. Roy J. Gris
som and Miss Mary Ross Parker of I
Bryan. Miss Ryman, who is a very !
lovely young lady, paid A. and M. a
pretty tribute by wearing a white
satin gown and carrying an armful of
red roses, thereby featuring the col
lege colors.
The programs were very dainty and
appropriate. On the outside the A.
and M. seal was embossed in colors
above the words, “Thanksgiving Hop,
1912.” The first page bore a picture
of the football squad—the champions
of the Southwest, and then followed
the order of dances, twenty-four reg
ular, six extra and six extra-extra
numbers. On the last two pages were
the committees, their chairmen and
members in the following order:
President, Robert A. Kern; arrange
ment, E. T. Eagleston; invitation and
program, S. E. Bowler; reception, R.
B. Ehlinger; decoration, W. A. Smith;
floor, O. J. James; finance, C. Oliver.
These young gentlemen did all in
their power to make the hop perfec
tion in every detail, and they were
very successful, as everyone declared
very positively that there had never
been a prettier or more enjoyable
dance given at A. and M.
It was impossible to obtain a full
list of visiting young ladies, but
among those present were noted
Misses Blanch Lee of San Angelo,
Lammus, Knittle, Adele and Camille
Wagaman, Georgia Emerson, Fisher,
Annie Lee Ellis, Betty and May
Earbee Eastland, Otto, Boulware, ;
Curtis, Allen, Huston, apd many |
others.
