The Student Senate-sponsored “Roaring ’20s” Day went down as perhaps the most successful social activities affair of the year. Participation, both of students and teachers, was considerably better than expected.
Part of a program designed by the Senate to stimulate student interest in the campus life at TC, the Roaring ’20s Day provided a scope of activities broad enough to provide everyone, students and teachers alike, with opportunities to participate.
Another purpose of the program was to bring about more coordination between the various clubs and organizations on campus. In what Senate President Dick Robertson feels will set a precedent for future campus-wide activities, several of the clubs on campus were called upon to help with carrying out the plans of the program. Reported response of the organizations was termed exceptional in many areas by Robertson.
The organizations and the parts they played in the program were: Decorations—Circle K Club, Bluejackets, Phi Theta Kappa; Publicity—Delta Sigma Delta fraternity; Refreshments—Alpha Beta Nu and Women’s Athletic Association; Entertainment—French Club; Charleston Contest Prizes—Tee Cee Club.
Financial assistance for the party was provided by the administration through the courtesy of Business Manager Troy Womack. In addition, Student Center Manager Dick Akens donated prizes to the contest winners consisting of one week’s free meals in the cafeteria or the choice of ten free games of pool for the boys or a doll from the bookstore for the girl winners.
The winners of the contest for Most Appropriately Dressed were Mollien Patterson and Jim Bell. Taking first place in the Charleston Dance Contest were Judy Bell and Joe Martin. Judges were members of the faculty, consisting of Mrs. Margaret Montgomery, Mrs. Mary Ann Duke, Mrs. Lucille Elgin, Mrs. Ruth Fomby, and Mr. Joel McGee.
A Word of Thanks
Senate President Robertson, commenting on the results of the program, said: “I would like to thank all the organizations who helped make the Roaring Twenties Day a success. Thanks to your efforts, I believe it to be one of the most successful affairs of the year. With the splendid co-operation shown in this project we hope to use the same idea with other organizations later in the year.”
The dance, held in the Student Center Ballroom the night of December 1, climaxed the day’s activities and drew one of the largest crowds of students of all the evening social activities of the year. Estimated attendance was over 200.
