.,,. eel: a s SONAH-27 I NI' , The Halloween Ball The Hallowe'en Ball, with its very gay decorations, and varied costumes, was one of the most colorful events in the entire life of training days. Giesha girls, Pierrettes and Pierrots, stately colonial dames, and Turkish maidens all waltzed to the same gay tunes, and threw confetti and serpentines with equal abandon. The decorations were the last word in gay colors-the conventional Hallowe'en colors of orange and black being used throughout. Streamers floated down from the ceiling, and all four sides of the ballroom, and mingled with the serpentines and confetti of the dancing couples. Corn shocks could be seen around the edges of the room, while dozens of weird Jack O'Lantern faces with eerie glow, peeked up or down at the swaying groups. Both large clocks were made into witches with grotesque faces, wearing black crepe paper caps. 'V After the unmasking was over, the soft lights were turned up-and soon the party was over-and was just another pleasant memory left to carry away with us. X v 3 XX jf , 'JSF '- 1 l 1 wp i :J 122

- 'll- ' SONAH-27 1 Nl' , SWIMMING Ever since the completion of the swimming pool in the Education Building, swimming has held Hrst place in interest and rivalry with the student group, Each class has had its own swimming team which competed in the two swimming meets, the first being held in 1926, and the second this year. Many of the girls who came here in '25 couldn't swim at all, but became very proficient during their stay in training, under the excellent supervision of Miss Marian Bland, Director of Physical Training. There were several diEerent types of swimming instruction open as electives to the students, some of these being: Beginner's Classes, Diving, Advanced Swimming and Life Saving. The first swimming meet was a thrilling affair, but as yet the school was young, and there was not such keen competition. At the last meet, competition was especially keen, for Miss Bland had given a beautiful silver loving cup which is to remain with the winning team, until won away from them-not to mention having their names and dates engraved on its shining surface. March 7th was a very memorable date for the Graduating Class, for the Hrst Graduates of the Henry Ford Hospital School of Nursing and Hygiene won the swimming meet, and the Marian Bland Trophy. - The Graduating class team shown below is, left to right: A 1.
