Roanoke Chapter Helped En- for the good things tertain Cadets

Responsible in a large part for smoking can give you... the entertainment afforded the corps when it visited Roanoke last Thursday was the Alumni Chapter in that city, who worked long and hard to make the cadet's visit a pleasant one. On Wednesday night before Thanksgiving they were hosts at a dance following a special meeting of the chapter. Members who attended said that they were very pleased with the success of the affair, and stated that a similar dance and meeting would probably be held next year.
