An International-style Reserve Officers Military Ball was held on February 18, 1939, at the Crystal Ballroom in the Hotel Winthrop with over 500 people in attendance. Members of the 72nd Seaforth Highlanders from Vancouver, British Columbia, performed a highlander's dance for officers from Washington State. Elsie Lough of Vancouver is pictured dancing with a man dressed in the bright MacKenzie tartan kilt of the Highlanders. (T. Times, 2/20/1939, p. 1-article)
