The 'lune class senior lnformal was the first social event of the new semester. .lim Yonts certainly put the thing across power- fully. Erna contributed with one of her darling programs and the Scroll photographers had a good time with their false-alarm flash- lights-they tried about ten times and the gun never went oil. I was a nervous wreck hy the time they were finished. The commit- tee-l ml1St record that too-made up of lllary lNflcCormack, Frank Hoehl, Ethel Bue- low, and Roland Govan, provided us with some real punch and a real orchestra-the VVadii Barnhardts. rliwo more weeks and the Prom-l'll have to start tearing around lor my dress now-ought to be a good prom but they'll have to do some stepping to heat this ln formall 'Enthusiastic Committee Plans Klon- strous Prom hlinx Night., That't the way The Scroll put it, and the dance sure went over with a hang. Bob Burns, chairman of the committee, proved himself the only man for the jobl I was positively thrilled during the grand march-the orchestra played 'Yankee Rose' and if there was ever a piece made for a grand march, that's it. Bob and his Prom Queen, lllary Cook, led the grand march, of course-hilary looked adorable- she had the darlingest red shoesl The committee looked remarkably fresh after all the work it had accomplished-those sixteen chandeliers, and three miles of crepe paper were no mean job to put up. The effect was marvelous and so was the punch. I guess every member of that hard-Working committee felt well repaid-the Prom was such a raving successl The Springtime Dancel The one Girls' Club Dance when the boys are the guests ot the girls, and every year is leap year at the time of this dance. They had the same peppy orchestra as they had at the YVashington Cotil- lion-I can remember how much all the girls enjoyed it. And, nhl that punch-real, ln'nest-to-goodness punch-orange juice, pine- apple, and fresh strawberries. It even tasted as if it might have seen ginger-alefliob said he needed something strengthening after going down that receiving line, but thought it was fun. I don't think he minded it so much, either, he just thought he had to act bored. Illl het fllr. Culver felt like Presi- dent Coolidge, with all the hand-shaking he did. Page Our Hzm.Irf.I Sz'i'c'l1

Ummm AI.-XRCH Social Events of the Year The first time this semester that we had an event in the gyml It was the Girls' Cluh Fall Festival, and the girls 'stagged' it. 1 Ilciticed, hnwever, that the hnys were pretty interested ,cause they were all lunking in the windnws. VVe had an orchestra and danced almnst all the time, except when snme uf the girls entertained. Oh, I furgnt to say that all the girls were in cnstumefgypsies and pirates. laiuise A-Xshwurth made a gnnd gypsy, even it she is a hlnnde.

It means that from nuw un the Feli- ruary classes are going tu demand as much attention as their -lune graduates! Here's hoping that the next lfehruary scniurs have ennugh pep to carry nut the thing started sn well hy the mid-year initiaturs.

The L'IIU'IlIlCC prrmcessiun was a l'1:1jr Une llzmilrrri liiiffff lovely une. rfhere were the rihhun bearers, the girls uf the nlaisy chain, the six attend- ants, the maid of liunur, the cruwn hearer, and then the heautiful queen herself-with two wee pages hringing up her train. The queen was cruwnetl, and from her rnyal thrune viewed the various clances pre- pared fur her. There were folk-dances, a weaving clance, anal a stately minuet-the girls must have felt slightly warm with thuse puwdere1l'wigs. I thuught one uf the cutest numhers was the Dance of the VV:111den Sultliers. rlilte girls wore snappy costumes- little hlue jackets, white truusers, and tall, hlack llI'llIU-lllll-illl'7S hats. They reeled and turnecl like true veterans, and all in still, VV1NlLlL'I1-Sfillllfl' style.
