Dances At Black Knight Club And VPI Hall In Beckley
Two social events mark the last week of December with a VPI dance at the Black Knight Country Club in Beckley featuring Hal Thurston and his orchestra from Richmond. The semi formal cadet dance runs ten to two with the West Virginia cadets in dress whites and grey uniforms. A New Year’s Eve dance closes the week at the Black Knight from ten to two, with carnival spirit and a full evening program. Week’s events list vesper services, club meetings, a Ronconi School concert in Oak Hill, and choir practices. Miss Ellen Pugh, Granville avenue, leaves for New York to pursue theatrical and dance work after Christmas.
