Page The Clierry Tree MARX' Louise YAUCH PAN-HELLENIC PROM Dancing to the smooth music of Isham Jones and his world-famous band, co-eds and their escorts acclaimed the Pan-Hellenic Prom held in the main ballroom of the Willard Hotel, April 5, the most outstanding event on the year's social calendar. All the boxes surrounding the large ballroom were decorated with color- ful flags and each had a sorority banner as an added ornamentation and to distinguish one from another. These lent a gay and festive appearance, while the intricate lighting arrangement designed especially for the Prom which threw numerous color tints on the dancers proved most effective and pleasing. The first hint of Spring was seen in the many new and vari-colored dresses worn by the girls which blended with the light and which were set off so attractively by the formal blaclc attire of their escorts. During the intermission cups for the intramural activities, volley ball, ping pong, bowling, and basket ball were presented to the winning soror- ities by Mary Louise Yauch, President of the Pan-Hellenic Council. The results of the bridge tournament were also announced at this time. After the presentation the dancing again continued. Those responsible for this highly successful affair were: Mary Louise Yauch, Social Chairman, Mary V. Spelman, Publicity Director, Ruth McNary, and Jane Hughes.
