AN-HELLENlC'S MERP week opened this year on Thursday, April l9, with a Spring concert. Those girls who dared -and there were quite a few-took mat- ters into their own delicate hands and asked the men out. So in New Hampshire Hall's lobby it was the fairer sex who paid at the ticket window while the other half of the twosome stood waiting at the door. The next evening the fanciest part of the weekend took place-the Ball. The theme this year was Candyland, and so the corsages the girls gave their dates were made accordingly. Many a jacket lapel still bore the evidence of melted lico- rice or lollipops the next day. While these corsages were being worn, melted and eaten, the couples danced to the music of Ron Peterson and his Wildcats. The crown- ing event of the evening was iust that. Pan- Hellenic president Ruth Berry crowned the king of the weekend-Senior, Mendon MacDonald. His barons were Bill Spain, Theta Chi, and Tom Gorman, Theta Kappa Phi. These three honored guests and their dates led a waltz, immediately after the coronation. On Saturday evening all women's houses held informal dances. And on Sunday the weekend was drawn to a close with buffet dinners at the sorority houses-the last time the girls pay the bills for another year -they hope!

ark gc! HEN May IO rolled around, the Junior class committee had this gala week- end ready to begin. Pretty Marilyn Pinky Waris, Theta Upsilon, was voted queen of the festival of New Orleans. On Friday evening New Hampshire Hall was glittering with stars, streamers, balloons, and an occasional comedy gi and tragedy mask to lend spirit to the bright Mardi Gras theme. The grace and gaiety of the evening were climaxed with a fanfare, and the spot- light was focused on three very pretty girls-strawberry blonde Marilyn Waris, queen. Her aides were brown-haired Barbara Kern, Alpha Chi Omega, and blonde Kathleen Watson, Chi Omega. Presi- dent R. Chandler crowned the queen, and then the evening dancing resumed . . . Elliot Lawrence and his orchestra provided the music for our Mardi Gras ball.
