3 ' U 1 ' 4, - .FJ.il.g-'J AN-HELLENIC Weekeiid opened with the Pan-Hellenic dance on Friday night. New Hampshire Hall was decorated with magnolia trees made by the sororities. The music was pro- vided by johnny Howe and his orchestra. Those girls who dared, and there were quite a few, took matters into their own hands and asked the men out. So, in New Hampshire I-Iall's lobby it was the fairer sex, who paid at the ticket win- dow, while the other half of the twosome stood waiting at the door. Many a jacket lapel still bore the evidence of melted licorice or lollipops the next day. The crowning event of the evening was just that, Pan-Hellenic president jan Gilchrist crowned Dick Keenan of Alpha Tau Omega, king of the Weekeimd. His Barons were jere Lundholm of Theta Chi and Dietrich Brandenburg of Alpha Tau Omega. 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. This was the last time the girls paid the bills for another year-they hope!
