As one entered the dance floor,
the first thing noticed was the
music, which was of very fine
quality. Art l(as^el and his “Kas-

known on national radio hookups,
could and did play everything
from rhumbas to the hottest of
swing, with superbly sweet and

Their playing of ’Twilight in Tur
key’’ was about the hottest swing
that has ever been heard down
re; and they “went to town” on
a number of other tunes during
the night
The next thing to be noticed was
the decorations. Around the walls
on two sides and for the doorway
wen hung draperies, some orange,
some Woe. At the doors opening in
to the main room of the mean hall
were hung other draperies, and
one was in use during the night as
a picture screen, colored lantern
slides of the regiments at drill
being shown on H throughout the
dance, and a moving picture film
of the Chem Warfare review April
17 being shown on it during the
intermission. On two sides of the
dance .floor were the large illumi
nated insignia of the two organisa
tions; and behind the orchestra
platform was a large varicolored
fan-ehaped panel.
Probably the most unusual deco
rative feature was the large globe
covered with mirror fragments,
suspended from the ceiling in the
middle of the dance floor with
colored spotlights playing on it
from either side. As it slowly re
volved the globe cast on the ceil
ing hundreds of tiny moving re
flections of colored light.
At the far end of the dance floor
were tables and chairs whsrs
couples could sit and smoke and
sip soda*. Punch and cookies were
served for refreshments. On the
other side were chairs for the
army officers and faculty members
and their wives who attended the
dance. There was really a Mg
crowd at the dance, and there were
piAsbably more “exes”—ex-Chetn
Warfare men and ex-Signal Corps
men—at this dance than at any
other of the season. Nearly all the
army officers and a number of
faculty members swung out at it
The affair was uaanimously de
clared a great soccaaa, and many
compliments were paid the orches
tra and decorations -and other fea
tures.
Those engineers really worked to
make their dance a success. The
dance committee was composed of
Tom Hingle and Bob Adams for
invitations and favors; A. L. Nor
ton, J. B. McKenzie and J. M
Conner, lights; j. A. Heath and
G. P. Rhoten, scenery; J. Huebel
and M. H. Duncan, orchestra;
Johnny Zercher and Don MeChes-
ney, dormitory and mess hall; Don
Corley and Jimmie Wall, finance
Saturday afternoon the Chem
Warfare juniors and their dates
held a picnic-party with refresh
ments and games. Sunday the Bak
er Trophy was presented to W. C.
Sturdivant, senior and first lieu
tenant of "B” C. W. S. as the win
ner of the annua] award to the
platoon commander of the beet-
drilled platoon.

the rick, fuU-bodwd smoking of choice tobaccos-with
extra mildness assured by an exclusive “no-bite”
process that removes harshness. Prince Albert ia
“crimp cut,” too, to give you the smoothness of alow

good? Well, the propoaitton’a better yet^for you can
