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.
