Dance At Union
Music Supplied By Ferde
Grofe's Orchestra; Late
Permission Granted
A brilliant crowd made up of well
over 700 people was on hand last
night at the Union to welcome the
first student formal of the present
school year. Ferde Grofe's band,
well-known broadcasting orchestra,
played for the dancers.
The grand march, a tradition with
nearly all the large dances of the year,
was eliminated this year. Dancing
was continuous from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.,
special late permission having been
granted to women attending.

George P. W. Wanty, '3, co-chair-
man of the dance, had as his guest

with mink. The skirt was panelled
and full at the bottom. The fur >
bound the neck and the drop sleeves."
As accesries, Miss Riedtyk wore
brown slippers and coral and gold x
earrings.
Ruth Kaser, '35, was the partner of z
Robert Atkins, also a co-chairman of
the dance. Miss Kaser :chose peach g
crepe for her gown. The dress was
cut on simple lines and had for its
sole trimming a rope collar made of
the same material. A brilliant clasp
was the only jewelry she wore.
Florence Kean, guest of Harold
Strickland, the third member of the
central committee, wore a flame-
colored taffeta, specked with silver Wi
dots. The skirt flared into ruffles apprac
below the knees and ruffles of the to confi
material were used as shoulder deco- be the

Allen McCombs, '35, president of
the Union, had as his guest Ruth Cil

the audience to the great delight of
the children, and the plot is given
to the audience behind hand backs.
In short, they delight in an artificial
theatre, in all the melodrama -'that
goes with it.

which appeal to the imagination of
those witnessing it; the whole must'

Square Scarves Shown
The squares measure a yard and
an eighth on each side and drape
magnificently. Colors in these run
the gamut of pastels. One combina-j

dresses are an excellent combination.
