  OFFICERS DANCE
  

  Given by the Commanding Officer and
  

  Officers of Camp Stephenson on Wednesday
  

  evening, April 16, 1919, in the Officer's Club.
  

  The Club was beautifully decorated for the
  

  occasion and about sixth couples were in
  

  attendance. The affair was a complete suc-
  

  cess and a pleasant evening for all who
  

  participated.
  

  Lieut. McCarthy and Lieut. Nelson were the
  

  committee-on-everything, under the Major's
  

  direction and the only arrangement that
  

  went "wrong" was the intended Ice Cream.
  

  It is rumored that Lieut. Nelson only used
  

  one arm to turn the freezer, the other being
  

  -- otherwise engaged,
  

  Quite a number of visiting Officers helped
  

  make the dance a success, but of course the
  

  American girls were ninety percent of the
  

  success.

  THE EASTER MONDAY DANCE
  

  The enlisted men's dance, given under
  

  the direction of the Welfare Committee
  

  on Monday evening, April, 21, 1919,
  

  was the best dance the committee has
  

  yet given, and it too was a success in
  

  every particular. 200 couples attended
  

  and enjoyed everything from the Moon-
  

  light dances to the delicious cake that
  

  was the feature of the refreshments
  

  served. The committee tried for a week
  

  to find a way to let the Moon in through
  

  the roof, but finally had to substitute a
  

  big searchlight. The Band was in excel-
  

  lent form and Jazzed its way to the
  

  hearts of the dancers.
