Continuing the Storytelling of our History

Pencil me in…

Before school socials became less formal affairs, the dance card was an essential element of the evening. A small booklet with a pencil attached, listed the order of the dances for the evening and provided a line for the girls to list the name of their dance partners. This example from the SAC Golden Jubilee Ball in 1930 shows ‘Kevin’ was a popular partner.
