The outing began on Friday afternoon when fourteen of the men drove to the Y. M. C. A. cabin about three miles from the lower dam site. The evening was spent around the large open fireplace. In the morning the party was met by representatives of the Pasadena Water Department who showed a number of maps and plans to the group and explained the method of locating a dam site that would meet their requirements. The ] > arty then proceeded to inspect the various sites, climbing over the side-hills, entering tunnels and ex- amining the diamond drill in operaton. In all, four locatons were \isited. and the party all felt that they had had an enjoyable week-end. \\R.SITY CLUB DANCE On the e\ " ening of January 24, about one hundred and fifty couples gathered for the annual rsity Club Dance upon the spacious floors of the Hotel Vista del Arroyo and danced to the entrancing strains of Frank W ' eigand ' s orchestra. The setting of the dance was very unique. If one tired of the formal type of floor decorated with pink and red carnations, one needs must step but a few feet away to the darkened, romantic atmosphere of a .Spanish patio ballroom an d enjoy himself in a ditterent setting. For the first time in the memory of the oldest Tech collegians was there enough floor space for one to " strut his stuff, " and enough delicious punch to satisfy the most violent thirst — and most of all such delightful music. Surely, the \ ' arsity Club dance was the best appointed dance of the year in every way. The \ ' arsity Club with the ]iroceeds from this dance created a fund to be known as the " Injured PMayers I-~und, " whereby men who are injured while out for the \ arious \ ' arsity and Frosh teams will receixe material assistance in caring for bills arising from medical attention. BROAD OAKS DORM-TECH DORM DANCES A joint Broad Oaks Dormitory-Tech Dormitory dance was held in the living room of the campus dormitory on January 30. The dance was featured by several most unique numbers including a progress dance (geometrical progression, r equals 2), and a balloon dance. In tlie latter each one nf the young ladies had a balloon tied to one ankle and endeavored to dance without ])ermitting it to be broken.
