Early Membership and Club Dances in Middletown History
The 650 year old organization recalls its origins in the 1860s with T. F Canham leading a dancing class in North Street's McMonagle Rogers building. The B S C formed, held hops at Gothic Hall and Slauson Hall, and later used Wanamaker's band for large dances. Members coordinated attire and carriages for guests while debates over prayer meetings and dance nights shaped scheduling.
