ALUMNI BALL. 



The Eighteenth Annual Ball of the Alumni Association was held at 

 Healey's on January 29th, 1913. It was decidedly a social as well as 

 financial success. Several hundred persons crowded the ball-room and 

 listened with evident pleasure to the entertainment which preceded the 

 dancing. Our good friend, Nelson S. Kirk, writes as follows: "The 

 i8th ball was certainly a grand success. It was w^ell managed and 

 the entertainment consisted of a cast of splendid artists — in fact, the 

 whole afifair went along like clock-work and those wdio braved the 

 weather and were fortunate enough to attend were well repaid. The 

 surprise of the evening to the old-timers was the presence of George 

 Burger, '94, who passed for a young fellow and ]iroved as entertaining 

 as ever. We owed his presence to the endeavors of 'Gene Hostman, 

 who is travelling along with the old guard. But what would an 

 Alumni Ball be wdthout P.illy De Zeller? He was there with the 

 'goods' and perplexed many with his surprises. Fancy finding bugs 

 in your Extractum liquidum Haiti et Lupuli ! That is exactly what 

 happened to many who sat near Billy De Zeller. Dr. Hecker pleased 

 the ladies by giving away sample bottles of perfume. President 

 Weinstein looked lost; he promenaded with Henry J. Binder. Both 

 maintained the dignity of the Alumni in a most fitting manner. Kirk 

 led the march and. naturally, it was a dandy. The National Phar- 

 maceutical Society, as usual, was well represented. Some of th 

 'prominents' present were: Frank N. Pond, Fred. L. Xagel, .\. j. 

 Bauer, Caswell A. Mayo, J. M. Breitenbach, John R. Wall. Curt P. 

 Wimmer, Chas. Dill, ^Ir. Fendler, Mr. Neville and many others." 

 The Chairman of the Committee, Mr. George Hohmann, deserves 

 considerable credit for the successful ball arranged by him and his 

 committee.
