Description

Some . . . but not all Irish.

Vet's St. Patrick's Party
Wearing green derbys, ties, dresses, and sham-
rocks, an estimated 300 students crowded Central
Turners' Hall March 15th and helped the Vets'
Club celebrate St. Patrick's day.
The Rhythmaires provided the music for danc-
ing from 8 p.m. to midnight.
I Italian Sammy De Trent came equipped with the
luck of the Irish, walking off with a prize of $10
as the winner of the name-the-dance contest. The
name he submitted was: "The Vetrechaun Dance."
Club secretary, John Lego, commented that the
event was the most successful in the club's history.
Joe Garvey directing the group in a
chorus of 'Mither McKree."

"Remove the cap, place to the lips,
and . • . Erin Go Bragh!"
"But how do ya jazz up "Over in Killarney?"
