Show The Year This year, 1918-1919, which began in such an inauspicious way, has became one of the most brilliant years recorded on the social calendar of the University. At the beginning of the Autumn quarter the social outlook was gloomy indeed. The war was still in progress, and almost daily men were leaving the campus for the camp. The S. A. T. C. could hardly be called a social organization, although most of the co-eds hoped that it would be possible to entertain the student soldiers at dances, "tea-fights," and other parties so dear to the hearts of the girls. And then, to cap the climax, society caught the "flu", and almost died of it. School was dismissed, all parties were forbidden, and even casual callers avoided. Imagine frivolity "frivoling" in a guaze "flu" mask! And then, came Peace, followed very soon by the abolishment of most of the influenza restrictions. When school re-opened in January the University men began to return, a few at first and increasing in numbers until the halls were crowded as in previous years. As soon as everyone recovered from the inertia from the long inactivity, social affairs were revived with a vim and all the annual social dissipations had to be crowded into four short months and those four months were very busy, and very happy. The student body and classes have been active during the season, many of the entertainments being get-acquainted parties, and those given in honor of the athletes. These are some of the them. A. S. U. U. informal matinee dance in honor of U. of U., victory over Agricultural College, Administration building hall, February 24. Fifty-first annual celebration of the founding of the U. of U., A, S.
