Description

Here is a scene of the Beta Alpha Rho annual bosses' banquet. R. E. Cox having his false mustache adjusted by Miss Ruth Carter (left) and Miss Janice Johnson at the banquet. The two women stand on either side of Mr. Cox while he places his arms around them. Miss Johnson and Miss Carter hold on to both sides of the mustache as all three smile and laugh. Mr. Cox is wearing a double-breasted suit and tie and eyeglasses. Both Miss Carter and Miss Johnson are wearing long-sleeved dresses. Miss Johnson also has a flower pinned near her dress collar. Miss Carter is one of Mr. Cox's employees. The mustache was part of the party decorations and was similar to those each guest was required to wear. The sorority furnished them.
