FRESHMAN WEL[OME
from Daytonian 1939
by eCommons
Two hundred gay, informal couples gathered together at the Miami hotel to inaugurate the university's social season. Putting aside memories of the Freshman week fracas, with its flag pole fight, the march to the courthouse, and the hilarious stunts of harassed freshies, all united in the friendly spirit of hospitality and spent the fleeting hours dancing to the lilting rhythms of Dick Skapik's orchestra.
Under the able leadership of Johnny Chalmers, assisted by Jeanne McLaughlin, Betty Jane Israel, Margaret Ann Mess, Joseph Hollenkamp, Martha Rose Manny, Leo Farber, Charles McBride, Russell Schlattman, and Duncan Obee, the dance proved a social success of the first degree.
