X ' AN ARRAY OF ENTERTAINERS OF WHICH ANY CIRCUS COULD BE JUSTLY PROUD The masquerading spirit seizes everyone at sonne time or other and at DC the Beaux Arts Ball satisfies this yen on a campus wide scale. The Applied Arts Tribunal plans and sponsors this dance early each spring, giving everyone who attends ample rein in devising a costume. The theme for this year ' s Ball, The Greatest Show On Earth, carried with it all of the atmosphere of the big top and the spirit of carnival life com- plete with barkers, side show per- formers, and the Indispensible clowns. Instead of the sweater-clod fellows and gals who show up for class every day, this dance was attended by dar- ing fire-eaters, glamorous acrobats, mysterious fortune tellers, and the typical sad ' n funny clowns. MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY LET THEIR HAIR DOWN. ' Page 25
