ings? S PDLYSCDAPE E 21192612 I:114j Junior Prom Bradley Gymnasium, April 21. Goforth's Orchestra General Chairfntan JOSEPH MILLER Prom Qu een ANNE HOLLIDAY The Bradley Junior Promenade was indeed a Prom to Remember. Amid decorations of delicate orchid and green, happy couples danced away far into the night to the music of Goforth's orchestra. This orchestra, the pride of the middle West, was at its best, the night of the Prom. The decorations, which were carried out in the Junior class colors, Were beautifully and artistically arranged. A false ceiling covered the roof of the gym and a gorgeous chandelier added to its beauty. Cosy corners, arranged about the room for the dancers, leant charm to the scene. Joe Miller, chairman of the Prom, chose as Prom queen Anne Holliday. They headed the reception line Which received the dancers, and led the grand march which opened the prom. Dr. and Mrs. Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Tillotson, Sherman Canty and Beulah Vaughn, assisted in the receiving of the guests. The favors Which the girls received were engagement books of leather with the Bradley seal. After the dancing, dainty refreshments Were served the guests by the food committee. The 1926 Prom Was one of the greatest of all Bradley Junior festivities, and Will pass into our college history as The Prom to Remember.

Eight stunts were entered in competition. Delta Kappa sorority, with its stunt, April 23, 1926, was awarded first place. Sec- ond place was given to the skit, In Another's Boots, staged by the Wom- en's Athletic Association. The Country Fair Everyone hitched up old Dobbin and came into town for the Y. W. C. A. Country Fair in the gym, March 19th. There were side shows Where unusual talent was displayed, nigger baby stands, and booths where one could get candy, cracker-jack, peanuts, and all the other goodies that seem to belong to a fair. Harper's Orchestra furnished music for those who cared to trip the light fantastic, and as the old saying goes, a good time was had by all. The committee in charge was: Frances Coffman, Gen'l Chairman Evelyn O'Brien, Dance Wilbur Bittel, Finance Helen Conway, Stunt Show Sherman Canty, Properties Esther Carpenter, Publicity Thirza Covey, Decorations Louis McDonald, Concessions. Pajama Parade Pajamas-pajamas-and more pajamas were all one could see the night of Nov. 6th when Bradley men held their annual parade. They stormed the theaters, and ran wildly through the streets, yelling and howl- ing as only men on such a rampage can do. Then-while all was quiet in the Palace theater, the manager announced a new act, and soon we saw Joe Miller and John Dunlop drifting dreamily through the air in the Coal- man's Revue. Weren't We proud of our local talent? By the time they were ready to go home, there was scarcely a whole pair of pajamas left in the crowd, but what do college boys care about a little thing like that when they're having fun-lots of it!!!
