Tacoma's Comus Club was hosting their first dance of the year at the Winthrop Hotel's Crystal Ballroom. The "Switzers" would wear green hats with feathers and greet their guests for the "Alpine Wonderland" dance. The ballroom and buffet table would be decorated with the Swiss Alps, skiers, a lighted medieval castle and other winter Alpine decorations. Jonas and La Verne Bjelland were co-chairmen for the event (T. Times, 1/15/49, p. 6).
