NIGHTINGALE SOCIAL CLUB
COMPLETES FIRST YEAR
The Nightingale Boys Social Club
of Houston has completed one year of
sociality. On the 18th of this month
they gave their first anniversary
dance at the Pilgrim Auditorium. The
guests did not gather until about 9:30
p. m. Then they came in such crowds
that the cashier had all he could do
to stamp their hands as they present-
ed their admission tickets. The eleva-
tors were pressed at all times. The
crowd was estimated to be between
twelve and thirteen hundred. The
numerous couples danced the best they
could without tripping over one an-
other. The Nightingale Boys Social
Club of Galveston was present, bring-
ing with them a host of socializers.
The grand march was a sensational
accomplishment, consisting only of the
members of the Nightingale clubs of
Houston and Galveston, the boys and
girls of these two cities alternating
in the march. The twenty-four cou-
ple march was led by the president
of the local club, Spencer B. Grant,
and the supreme adviser of the Gal-
veston branch, Miss Laura Doribest.
After this all members of Houston and
Galveston branches were introduced
by Thomas Cole, one of the young so-
cial leaders of this city. This was
the first time in the history of Hous-
ton that a social club has entertained
such a large number and has gained
such popularity. Some of the popu-
lar guests were: John Allen, founder
of the Excelsior Twenty; Sam Mc-
Call, president of the Houston Social
Club;. James Parker of Bishop Col-
lege; Misses Catherine and Ida Mae
Bowman and Wilma Wormly; and Al-
vin Grovery, Prairie View College;
Willie Watkins and Eugene Harrison
of the Houston Junior College.—Thad-
deus L. Williams, Reporter.
DELIGHTFUL DINNER DANCE
A delightful dinner dance was giv-
en at the Ethiopian Dining Room last
Friday evening by Miss Leola Wat-
son in honor of A. J. Perkins of Pon-
ca City, Okla. Music for the occa-
sion was furnished by the Ethiopian
orchestra. The table was beautiful-
ly decorated with zinnias. A rare
feature was noticed in the arrange-
ment of place cards, which were in
the form of tiny baskets filled with
mints.
A four course dinner was served,
consisting of fruit cocktail, frozen sa-
lad, fried chicken, French peas, pota-
to salad, rolls, cake and ices.
Miss Essie Thomas was in the re-
ceiving line, Miss Brooks poured the
punch. The table was set for fifteen
which included: A. J. Perkins, hon-
oree;Miss Leola Watson, hostess; C.

theme, taken from John 14:3, with the
