The railroads, which form one of the industry’s major means of transportation, come to Chicago from every direction and carry the fruits of her industry to all parts of the world. They employ men from all walks of life. The above view shows the construction of a railroad bridge for the Illi- nois Central Railroad.

The First Arch Dance ARCHITECT’S DANCES The first Architect’s Ball was held Novem- ber 24 in the beautiful Colonial Room of the Steuben Club. Although the architects pre- dominated in attendance there were many from the engineering school at the dance and all agreed that it was one of the finest that had ever been held. The bids, as might be expected of the architectural school, were very nicely designed and were blue in color. Miss Marion Rawls, Mrs. Nancy Saunders, and Professors C. G. Blough, W. F. McCau- ghey, Sholto Spears, Lindsay Suter, and their wives were the chaperones included in the party. The arrangements were handled by a committee of junior architects headed by R. E. Esbensen and W. H. Sobcl. Due to the success of the first Architect’s Ball and a feeling that the approach of spring deserved some celebration, another fine dance was given by the architects on March 9. The site of the party was the Tower and Town Club and the music was furnished by Wilson Barnett’s orchestra. The pleasant atmosphere and spacious dancing facilities made a de- lightful sojourn from the daily routine of Armour life. The chaperones included Dean and Mrs. Heald, Professors Suter, McCaughey, Wallace, and their wives, besides Professors Hofmces- ter and Rathburn, Mrs. Saunders, Miss Dodge, and Miss Rawls. We hope the archi- tects are as successful in architecture. The Second Arch Dance Sevcnty-fiie
