Army Throws Party For 61 New Draftees
Colorado's first postwar draftees attend a swank Army party in Denver before heading to Fort Ord for basic training. Seated at a formal event with USC and YWCA hostesses, 61 inductees were paired with dates, crowned as generals for the night, fed a banquet with prime ribs and desserts, and sent to their hotel rooms rather than wartime tents. Six inductees were later turned down, leaving six spare dates. The night included a floor show, dancing, and a ceremonial forward march back to rooms.
