Pdnhel Dance It was different than every other dance . . . something was backwards or topsy-turvy ... it was Panhel, and the girls had saved their al- lowances all year for the big night. They bought and made corsages, they bought dinners, they bought tickets, they bought . . . Dave Richey took the trophy for Panhel King. Pat Manley took the Prom ticket for her man ' s King of Hearts corsage . . . and the females took the next day off to recuperate after the thrills of the Panhel Dance.

W R A Square Dance Chill in the air . . . the sharp smell of cider (hard?) . . . boogy men on dark campus paths. Halloween had again come to Butler. We celebrated in traditional fashion . . . small and bigger parties scattered here and there . . . and the WRA Square Dance Octo- ber 28. We treked to the fieldhouse for squares and cider from a barrel . . . we threw pennies in a jar for our Witch and Scarecrow votes, and we mulled over the thought of who would win. Finally we laughed excitedly as the crowns were given to Witch Odie McMullen and Scare- crow Warren Sparks. Janie Knoebel, WRA President, has a long reach to the top of Sparkie ' s crew cut . . . but that ' s where the crown be- longs . . . and is put. Did we ever see a redheaded witch? Not till Odie came to Butler . . . Once again Janie reaches for the top . . . but this time it ' s not so far up. Page Twenty-three

House Dances in Costume Fraternity and sorority house dances dotted the campus calendar throughout the year, and costume affairs ranked high on the popularity hst. The Phi Delts ' Cafe of Nations brought everyone to the house dressed as wealthy for- eigners; Sigma Nus and their annual Barroom Brawl showed imagination at its best costume- wise: Pi Phi pledges successfully tried something new with a Cannibal Capers dance— dress was sarongs and bare feet; and Lambda Chis put on their annual Shipwreck Dance where everyone came depicting someone they would most like to be shipwrecked with. Every year a new twist and a new costume add sparkle to the old tradition of costume parties. And every year confirms the suspicion that the dances are here to stay. Page Twenty-five
