, CUK n f tO K P ' Planners of the Junior Promenade mel regularly to discuss the progress of the dance. Their integrated activities brought results. Highlighting the social calendar of Bruin fun- seekers was the traditional Junior Promenade which they rated as tops in campus entertainment. The event was dedicated to the spirit of the Lib- erty Scholarship Fund which was established for the rehabilitation and educational aid of service men returning after the war. Under the guidance of Laurel Jones, prom committee chair- man, success was achieved by the cooperation of several outstanding contributions to the prom. They were Phyllis Purdy, Constance Cooke, Jeanne Cloud, Peggy Lee Robertson, Gloria Lucas, Polly Egan, Carmen Farmer, Elayne Foster, Ed Graf, Ann Leifer, and Rick Rommey. Week- end festivities were launched by the preview show- ing of the movie Iron Major in Royce Hall Audi- torium. Following this, prom-goers adjourned to the house parties given by the various sororities and fraternities. Saturday night, however, was the gigantic dance held in Kerckhoff Hall. Top music makers under the baton of Freddy Martin, Leigh- ton Noble and Paul Martin provided background for the formally attired dancers. The theme of the dance was Christmas Carnival and was carried out beautifully by colorful decorations. Laurel Jones ' enthusiasm led to a swell prom. 83
