From Grille to Formals Dating Is King
The Centennial Theme was seen in all functions and institutions this year. The most exciting social event of the year was the Centennial Ball when the men rented, borrowed, or even bought tuxedoes and the women got their evening gowns out of storage. A good time was had by all with Lester Lanin's dance band providing the music. While anticipating the next Centennial Ball in 2065, the dating scene will retain its traditional round of yearly events on the UK campus.
Kenneland was well populated with the college students this fall, which may account for some of those cuts necessitating a trip to the Dean's Office. Sunday afternoon rides often led to Spindletop or Elmendorf to enjoy the last few days of warm sunshine and to see the splendor of the ground colored with red and gold leaves. The weather was unusually good this fall and especially considerate to the football weekend.
Basketball season was in tune with the weather, coming just in time for everyone to move indoor out of the cold and snow. The Fireplace, a new attraction this fall, was a familiar spot on Friday afternoons with a warm fire blazing. Remember the sleigh riding and ice skating parties where you slid into the creek and then filled yourself with hot chocolate? About this time, the Grille ran short on trays only to find them in action on the slopes of the Botanical Gardens.
Some of the more cultural programs were the Guignol plays, various musical concerts from the Department of Music and the Concert Lecture Series, which included the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Ireland on Parade, the Philippine Ballet, and Chet Huntley of N.B.C. News.
The routine of dating was reversed when the girls took the boys out to dinner, made them corsages and ended the evening at the annual Golddiggers Ball. Dating was not confined only to the campus and in Lexington, but also places far and wide such as Herrington Lake, Louisville, Gatlinburg, and Rough River.
You were right when you said our horse would run last.
