Football Hop 1922: Connecticut Agricultural College – Hawley Armory

Connecticut: Connecticut Agricultural College, 1922. Softcover. Very Good. First edition. 64mo. [8]pp. Blue calf wrappers bound with string, front wrapper stamped in blind, and glassine endpapers stamped with a spiderweb design. Wrappers rubbed, a small chip at the top edge and a small tear at the fore edge of the front endpaper, very good or better. The verso of each page prints a dance and song title, (e.g. "Fox Trot -- Send Me Back to My Honey Man"). The recto of the facing page prints spaces in which participants' names are written (e.g. Bert Smith danced to the song mentioned in the last example). Every dance was a fox trot save for two which were both waltzes. The "Patrons and Patronesses" page prints the names of "Coach and Mrs. J.W. Tasker." Joshua Wilder Tasker was the head coach of the Connecticut Aggies football team from 1921-1922. A fun piece of University of Connecticut history.
