Baker and Seerley Halls were be- sieged with college gals collecting their dates on a Friday evening last November, as Hal Leonard's mel- low music floated through Com- mons windows across the campus. Nlasterful women hung fruit and vegetable corsages on the lapels of their blushing men, and led them to the Femme's Fancy, annual girl- takes-boy dance. Coeds escorted, entertained, and paid the expenses of their boy friends in a turn-about entertain- ment that resulted in one of the FEMNES year's most popular informal social events. Rug-cutters swung their partners in the Sox Trot, Fe- dora Fling, and Sweater Swing, feature dances planned by Vera Scott and her committee. Publicity handled by Lola Raker and Jeanne Leo stimulated the ticket sales di- rected by lvlildred Walters and lllarilyn bliller. Bonnie Wake- man was general chairman of the leap-year-inspired frolic. The ideal man, the mosthand- some man, and the most muscular male were selected by dance-goers. -FANCY Paddle calls for the boy friend. Denny and June admire his corsage. 1 fl' Page 14
