THE SPHINX, FEBRUARY, 1925 THE ANNUAL FORMAL ENTERTAINMENT. The Annual Formal Dance was one of unusual brilliance, pood cheer and pleasure. It was held in the Renaissance Casino at One hundred and and thirty-eighth Street and Seventh Avenue, on the evening of Tuesday, December thirtieth, from nine-thirty till twcn thirty—fire' hours of it—which, in fact, seemed like but one hour. The very attractive decorations consisted of southern smilax, ferns and palms, which blended artistically with the natural beauty of the hall. Thus the ballroom furnished a strikingly background for our ladies of beauty without alloy, the living decorations that came from the country over, vieing one with the other in all their charms and glory. And the men, in their usual formal attire, reemed to feel that "they didn't have to die to go to heaven," for they laughed within their hearts in compliment to the beauty of the American Colored Girls as they gracefully tipped and turned in joy supreme at the bosom of Alpha Phi Alpha. An c r n e s t endeavor was made to get the names of all present at this prom; but we were successful in getting only about two-thirds of theftr, whose names, in alphabetical order, follow: Alexander, Mr. W .
