Each group was raising money for a charity for the women's dor- mitories or to replenish their own coffers. First campus fashion show was put on by Woodward's for the Women's Undergraduate Society. Ian Olsen commented on the fashions and models were chosen from campus women. Money from the admission was turned over to Dean Mawdsley for the furnishing of the women's dorms. Wood- ward's donated props and latest fashions for the advertising value. Greek Letter Societies had the first fashion show of the second term at the Mardi Gras. Shirley Selman Welsh was in charge of the show, with models picked from the campus soror- ities. As usual when bathing beauties appeared there was a loud whistle from the male section of the audi- ence. All profits from ,the Mardi Gras went to the Community Chest and the War Memorial Gym Fund.

Models were drawn from university office work- ers, beside members of the library staff. Best known model was last year's AMS secretary, Kay Macdonald, who worked as a stenographer in the Physics Department. Disappointment of the show was that only one bathing suit was modeled. Needless to say, however, the one shown was an extremely fine sample. Eaton's erected props for the show, which was held on the last Monday of February. Attendance was the best of any show held on the campus during the year, with people standing in the balcony above Brock Hall Lounge. ai Campua Q-Slzowa Door receipts were used to replenish treasury of the club and for the dean of women's fund. Funniest of all fashion shows was the Big Block Show put on for the Women's Undergraduate Society at their Co-ed in Ianuary.

flzra ierea .Hofd wo On the evening of November 1-l, 1950, in the Brock Lounge, 150 Phratereans and their escorts danc- ed to the music of Ted Peters' Orchestra at their an- nual fall formal. Girls, who a few hours previous to this moment had been rushing around the upper halls of the Brock in blue jeans and with paint-smeared faces were now calm and at ease once more. Another Phrateres Formal had come and was going as smoothly as possible. The theme of Arctic Capers had been carried through beautifully. The tickets, in the form of igloos, were tiny re- plicas of the huge white and silver igloo above the orchestra. The smaller caricatures of ice-bergs, huskies, kyaks, sleighs, and Fskimos carried the theme completely through the Brock. Coke parties were held by each of the Sub-Chapters to give a lively start to the big evening. Here, again, orma .4 in 150- ,5 Cinderella Ball-Phrateres Spring Formal. At this dance the Phrateres' Sweetheart was chosen and crowned. The chosen girl was presented with a small bracelet engraved on the back and with the Phrateres' Crest on the front. She will represent the all-round Phraterean for 1951-52. The Sweetheart was presented to the guests by Dr. McKenzie and crowned by Virginia Polsen, last year's Sweetheart, at 12 o'clock-the enchanted hour for Cin- derella. A The story of Cinderella was painted around the Brock-completely with Fairy godmother, glass slipper, pumpkin coach, and all the wonderful figures we re- membered from the fairy tale. Al McMillan and his Orchestra took us this time to the fairy land in which Cinderella lived with popular pieces from the movie version.

Circle below: Part of the crowd that enioyed the 'Frigit BaII'. ingenious hostesses carried out the theme by serving their very chilliest specialties. Each Sub-Chapter poured hours of thought into making their boutineers. Some came up with tiny pipe cleaner Eskimos, others with floral arrangements but all with the same cool back- ground. Yes, the Frigid Formal had come and gone and had been a huge success. All that was left now was the memory of a wonderful time and the anticipation of another wonderful evening at the Spring Formal on February 28, 1951. The theme chosen for this Formal was much Warmer, Spring was in the air and out of it came the 46 'fm
