number your first visa-versa;
your first Hallowe’en Party—
weren’t they fun? You remember-
ed them because they were differ-
ent.
The A. Z. A. Fraternity believes
that it is giving a dance that is
different in many ways. The

a central theme—“A Two Year
Old Birthday Party Dance” which
it will carry out For example,
there will be novelties for all,
games during intermission, a pro-
gram book full of humour, and
prizes. What gaiety and fun is
in store for you.

what has been happening in
scores of homes throughout our

Boy who has been saving pen-
nies for some good dance hears
about the A. Z. A. Dance. Know-
ing this is the dance for him.
He opens his penny bank, and
with the money buys a ticket He
phones his best gal. Boy tells

Fraternity is giving a swell dance
on the Rice Root”
Girl says excitedly, “Yes.”
Boy continues, “And — and,
Frank Williams and his 12 piece
orchestra are engaged to play.”

pectantly.

pels, “Will you be my date?”

THRONGS CROWD THE PORTS IN
FLEEING THE NAZI TERROR THEIR
AGGIELAND
VIGNETTE
By PHILIP GOLMAN
and MANNY SMITH
Guest Conducted by
MISS BEBE NATHAN
Queen of the Hillel Ball
at Texas A. A M. last week
Now that the "biggest day” of
my life has past, I. as Queen of
the Hillel Ball at Aggieland.
would like to tell my friends and
readers of the Jewish Herald-
Voice, of a wonderful time. The
dance this year was, by far, the
biggest and best that the club
has ever given. Phil Golman,
chairman, might well be con-
gratulated upon his efforts which
led to the success of the ball. He
and his various committees, I
am sure, spent many hours work-
ing that their guests might en-
joy a memorable evening.
The club sponsored a tea dance
in the afternoon at the Bryan
Country Club. Its success was
due to Henry Jameson and his
committee. I feel free in saying
that the success of the dance, the
growth of the club and the in-
terest of the boys who compose
it, is due to its gracious sponsor,
Mrs. J. J. Taubenhaus. Her in-
terest in both the boys and their
club, has made the organization
what it is today.
Music for the dance was fur-
nished by A. & M’s. own Aggie-
iand Orchestra. Beautiful pro-
grams were distributed, and the
decorations by Morris Lichen-
stein and Jerry Rolnick were
magnificent. During the evening
I was presented with a beautifully
engraved gold bracelet as a re-
membrance from the club.
The dance, as a whole, was one
grand affair, and it is my wish
that the Hillel Club shall con-
tinue its outstanding work through
out the coming years. Immediate-
ly following the dance a mid-
night snack was held attended
by Philip Golman and Lillian
Gross, Gordon Siegel and Kitty
Rolnick, Henry Jameson and El-
len RosenthaL Harold Topletz and
Dale Epstein, Mr. and Mrs. A. L
Schepps, Manny Smith and Lillian
Spies, Irving Glasser and Lanelle
Dunn, Selig Frank and myself,
and many other charming couples.

brants attending the festivities at
Aggieland—Sydney Kessler and
Hortense Steinberg, Sydney Roth
and Jeanette Dannenbaum, Irwin

trow and Hannah Kaplan, Leo
