Juniors Elect Blumer Prom Queen Billowy organdies and rustling taffetas set off the April Showers theme of the 1953 Junior Prom on April 1. The highlight of the all-school dance at Peony Park was the crowning of lovely, red-haired Derelle Blumer, Zeta Tau Alpha, as Junior Prom Queen. Other candidates were Joyce Miller, Alpha Xi Delta; Joan Pierce, Sigma Kappa; The large mirror allows Student Council members to keep a close watch on illegal voting procedures. Joyce Sundsbow, Independents; and Phyllis Wilke, Chi Omega. Miss Blumer was elected earlier in an all-school election. The Queen was presented with an engraved compact and a bouquet of red roses. Her attendants also received compacts. University students danced to the music of Eddy Haddad and his orchestra. Bob Schropp and Jane Engelhardt were in charge of the general arrangements for the dance under the class president, Duane Post. Miss Blumer and Larry Brehm planned the presentation of the candidates. The girls were escorted to the stage while Jack Irwin ' s orchestra played the April theme music. Miss Wilke and Merlyn Fratt designed the decora- tions. Miss Engelhardt and Carol Thoren planned the bookstore window decoration with pictures of the candidates. Sponsors at the dance were Dean and Mrs. Jay B. Mac- Gregor, Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Gorr, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Tyson and Mr. and Mrs. Rex Call. Who could forget to vote?

Plans for a Student Union on campus progressed early last spring when blue prints for the building were received from John Latenser, school architect. At a Prexy Party in March, students and faculty members discussed the possibility of student assessment for the Student Union building fund. Club presidents approved. The amount suggested was $5 a student per semester. No further action was taken, and the Union ' s pro- gress came to a stand- still. The Student Union committee last year was composed of Ray Hampton, Jo Larkin, Burt McMil- lan, Howard Olson and Jean Salladay. The final word from the Omaha Parks and Recrea- tion department brought new parking problems to OU students. No Parking on This Side and No Parking at Any Time notices were placed along Elmwood Park drives early last spring. The pic- tures below illustrate the quick action of students when the park department lowered the boom. Violators were fined $3. The move was prom.pted by thawing ground. The cars are tearing up the grass in the park and also hindering clear passage on the park road, commented Charles Hoff, Uni- versity vice-president in charge of finances. University halls resounded when the entire choir sang the magnificent Hallelujah Chorus in the Easter, 1953, convocation. The annual con- vocation, held March 25, was opened after an organ prelude by Frederick Homan. Soloists were soprano Milli- cent Wheeler who sang I Know That My Redeemer Liveth, and tenor Ted Romberg and alto Joanne Pierce. Madrigal singers and a mixed quartet were included in the program. Selec- tions included Cantata No. 4 by Johann Sebastian Bach, entitled Christ Lay by Death Enshrouded, and excerpts from Handel ' s The Mes- siah.
