Masquerade Mints Money
By PEG CRONK
WASILLA—This community’s
Valentine masquerade was finan
cially a success, according to
Mrs. Oscar E. Johnson, chair
man. The dance was held Sat
urday night at the Community
hall in benefit of the Fire Com
pany. Mrs. Johnson said that
tentative plans were being made
to make the dance an annual
affair scheduled for the second
Saturday of each February.
Masqueraders dressed in
varied costumes danced to the
music of a four-piece orchestra
which played under a ceiling of
multi-colored balloons. Thou
i
I sands of red hearts strung about
the walls and hanging from the
windows carried out the Valen
tine theme. Valentine curtains
hung at the windows.
High point of the evening was
reached at midnight when prize
winning costumes were chosen
from participants in the Grand
March. Mrs. Phil Holdsworth,
representing a Southern belle,
won first as best-dressed woman,
! while Bob Lucus of Palmer was
awarded first prize for the men.'
Mr. Lucus, in white turban and
beard, masqueraded as a swami
gentleman.
