THE PHOENIX
ALPHA BETA State Teachers College Kirksville, Missouri
Alpha Beta is attempting to reestablish formal functions on our college campus by giving the first formal dance of either the school or the other sororities in the last five years. Due to the depression formal affairs were made informal one:s, but realizing the need of formality in college life, Alpha Beta has decided to turn the tide. Invitations for the dance have been sent and everyone is doing his best to make this dance a great success. Our chapter is giving a benefit picture show to make the personal expense of the dance lighter. The gym is to be decorated to represent a southern garden. There is to be an artificial ceiling of Spanish moss from which silver stars will hang. The entire gym is to be indirectly lighted with red and blue lights. Punch will be served by two girls dressed in oldfashioned costumes. Special numbers will be given by dancers in old-fashioned costumes. From the way things look now we are going to have to go a long way to give the impression of a southern garden-outside the snow is piled so high that you can hardly get through it and the thermometer has been playing around below zero for the last few weeks. There's nothing like trying! It has always been a tradition of
