Mr. Sam Bergesen wore a turn-of-the-century policeman's uniform and false mustache, and his wife wore a Victorian dress with wide ruffles when they attended the Half-Century Ball on January 21, 1950. Sponsored by the Lakewood Dance Club, the dinner-dance was held at the Lakewood Center Recreation Hall at 6100 Motor Avenue S.W. As members and guests entered the hall, they stepped into a living room authentically decorated with antiques such as the stereopticon held by Mrs. Bergesen. (Ordered by the Tribune, Barbara Dana.)
