Lent Social Quiet With Few Notable Events
Society experiences a lull during Lent with the only standout event being the inaugural ball, drawing guests from Charles City and beyond, while many clubs stay low-key. Miss Martha Sulla and others raise funds for the Gourcer fund through a campus show, aiming to generate $600,000 for Cour tview buildings, with an additional $400,000 from the education board if reached. Social calendars continue with bridge parties, theatre outings, and weddings such as Thelma Late and Pia Gey Howard, plus numerous club gatherings and hosting duties through spring.
