Show Olsen Gowans Richardson A. S. U. U. ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE THE football dances, together with the football games, made the extra-curricular activities of the Fall Quarter a complete success, crowning them with the satisfaction of some admirable accomplishments and praiseworthy features which were particularly noted by the visiting patrons, by faculty members, by the committee in charge, and by the dancers themselves. These dances furnished a most pleasurable background for the congratulations which were in store for our most successful football team which, with no exception, led their school in a decided victory over each opposing team. As a fitting climax to every game played in the University of Utah stadium, an evening dance was sponsored at the Hotel Utah, under the direction of the A. S. U. U. dance committee that so successfully strove to present to the students a most agreeable type of amusement in which they might express their attitudes toward the results of the games and display their best tendencies toward the good sportsmanship, the feeling of sympathy and understanding, and their encouragement for the further success of the "Utes." The first A.S.U.U. football dance was presented on the evening of Saturday, October fifth, after a Utah victory over the University of Nevada. The crowd was small but exclusive, while the conduct was of the most excellent quality and was highly commended by the many visitors. The second A.S.U.U. football dance held at the Hotel Utah was that on the evening of Saturday, November second. It followed a most interesting game between the "Utes" and their B.Y.U. neighbors, another victory for the U. of U. This, too, was a most commendable dance because of its conduct and good management. There were many visitors from the B.Y.U. who enjoyed the fun presented by the expert dance committee. Last, and most stupendous of all, was the "Turkey" dance on the night of Thanksgiving. There was an unusually large crowd which enjoyed itself to the fullest, dancing around in the ball room under the spell of the preceding night's performances when the big Thanksgiving Day Rally was sponsored by all student group organizations at the Victory theatre. The Thanksgiving Dance was preceded by the big traditional "Turkey Game" between A.C.U. and U. of U. in which the latter again was victorious. The success of these football dances was insured with a competent committee consisting of James Ure, chairman, M. L. Gowans, Marjorie Richardson, and Ruby Olson. a. S. U. U. Dance Chairman Page 174 |
