Prom Beard- Growing Contest Seven hairy-faced gents on campus gathered in the C-Club the afternoon of the Junior Prom. Although they appeared to be rather suspicious- looking characters, everyone knew what they were doing there. Those in doubt soon found out as the line guage was whipped out and held up to the whiskers of each vandal. When final measuring and conferring were over, Gene Kuz- mic was presented with a Prom ticket-his whisk- ers were the longest. Gene immediately ran for the barber shop, where runner-up Sanford Schwartz de-fuzzed him.

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

Diddy Keeling and Duke Ellington provided most of the thrills and excitement of the Junior Prom. Diddy was crowned Queen of the Prom by Chairman Stan Volz, while Bev Brantner, Marge VIcDowell, Nancy Roberts, Carolyn Aldrich, Joan Leslie, and Peggy Cox formed her court. Duke Ellington banged out strictly listening music on his piano as well as conducting smooth waltzes and jivey jazz for the pleasure of those who came to dance. The com- fortably crowded Indiana Roof proved once more that the Juniors ha e the know-how to stage a dance successfully. Patjc Twenty-seven
