The scintillating flash lanterns playing their rays over the swaying couples dancing to the lilting music of Tige Iewett's Collegians gave the spirit in keeping with the new spring season. Between the third and fourth dances the orchestra played the Green and Gold while the ensemhlage stood silent. This was to bid Bon Voyage the eight track men, seven of whom were sophomores, who were on their way to competein the Ohio Relays. The work of the general committee who secured an outside ballroom, and raised the necessary funds is appreciated by the sophomore class and by the college. The general chairman who organized the committee was unable to attend the Prom lwecause he was one of the eight athletes enroute to The Relays. General Committee: Chairman .

The dance was attended by about three hundred and fifty freshmen and their guests. Patrons of' the dance were: Dean and ixlrs. ixlackenzie, Dir. and Airs. Darnell, Dir. and Airs. Baldwin, Bliss Ethel Chase, .Xliss Emelyn Gardner, Pliss .Marion Kanouse, and fxlr. Iames Russell. Especial invitations were sent to the principals of all Detroit High Schools. The college gymnasium, in which the dance was held, was decorated with an Oriental motif. A gold canopy overhung the floor, and numerous Oriental rugs were draped from the oval balcony. Opposite the entrance the orchestra box was surrounded by palms, and wicker furniture was placed about the hall. One of the many features of the Ferment was the Grand ixlarch which began at ten o'clock and was led by James Sheppard, President of' the class, and Aliss Dorothy Davey. Sliss Alarion Kanouse directed it. The dancers testified their appreciation of the refreshment booth by their liberal patronage of its services. The affair ended promptly at midnight. The Freshman Ferment was successful, not alone through the enioyment of those present, but also from a financial standpoint. This was due to the indus- trious efforts of an able committee headed by Carl Gussin, Chairman and Iames Sheppard, ex-officios. The committee chairmen were: Decoration, Ross Scrim- goeurg Printing, Robert Dlorrisg Prize, fllargaret Cluneg Novelties, Bessie Yvein- bergerg Refreshment, Lillian Adams: Floor, Carl Baldwin: Ticket, Virginia Sharon: and Invitations, Alarion Knight. 107
