Show Young Gilbert Gertsch Reimers Nord Barker Duggan Raybould MILITARY PROMENADE THE last and most extraordinary dance of the season was the Military Promenade, held April eleventh. It was the formal dance annually presented under the direction of the R.O.T.C. classes, the sponsors and members of the Trotters Club. It came as a perfect culmination of an entirely successful social season-as an event of great interest to the enthusiastic social group because of its decidedly different characteristics, its background, and its glamour. The State Capitol, with its many points of interest, was best suited to the dignity of such an event, all reminiscent of the historical incidents relevant to the State of Utah. In the spacious main hall, the large crowd danced to the strains of the popular music which drifted to the uppermost heights of the vast dome extending far above the dancers. Refreshments were served to guests present from attractively arranged booths. Machine guns and such were used for decorations. All these points of interest contributed to the impressive spirit of the occasion. Prominent state and city officials, as honored guests, presided over the beauty and glamour of the scene. Representatives from the neighboring colleges, too, were honored with special invitations to witness the unique event. During intermission, the grand promenade of the evening took place in uniformity and striking appearance. Led by the regimental and class R.O.T.C. sponsors, dressed in red and white costumes, the promenaders marched around in interesting and varied formations. The Military Prom was successfully conducted by the committee in charge: Cadet Colonel Frank E. Young, Jr., chairman: Major James A. Gillespie, Cadet Lieutenant Kenneth Reimers, Honorary Colonel Varno Gilbert; Honorary Majors Beryle West, Vilate Crane, Ardelle Fisher, and Mirra Jacobs; Alice Nord; Margaret Duggan; Cadet Captains Edgar M. Barker, Rodolph Redmond, Orlondo Huntsman, Eugene Cromer, E. C. Raybould, and Elmer P Gertsch. The Governor leads the promenade Page 178 |
