Hundreds Dance
To George Dafy's Music At Annual Military Ball
Spring Gowns
Of Novel Style

Miniature Air Battle With
Noise And Light Effects
Surprises Crowd
A capacity crowd filled the Union
ballroom last night and danced under
shifting lights of red, white and blue
at the annual Military Ball sponsored
by members of the R.O.T.C. George
Duffy's orchestra played for the dance
which lasted from 9:30 p.m. until
2 a.m.
A unique feature of the affair was
the miniature air raid, a surprise
stunt planned by members of the
committee. A dirigible crossed the
darkened ballroom followed by a
squadron of planes and played on
by searchlights from various parts of
the room and exploded when it
reached the balcony opposite the or-
chestra, with all the uproar of a real
air battle.
Lyon, Heser Lead Grand March
Don Lyon, '35A, and Delbert Hesler,
'35E, led the grand march with Bar-
bara Shuker, '32, Detroit, and Lillian
Dannahower, Kansas City. Miss
Shuker wore a white gown featuring
halter straps of flame chiffon and
forming wide revers in the front har-
monizing with the pencil silhouette of
skirt. A cape decorated with three
scallops about the neckline completed
Miss Shuker's costume.
Miss Dannahower chose black net'
with black taffeta trim as her frock
for the ball. The taffeta formed three
large ruffles outlining the low decol-
letage and another ruffle about the
bottom of the skirt. A rhinestone
buckle fastened the taffeta belt, and
a rhinestone clip finished the back.
Other Conmittee Members
> ileen Lay, '37, attended with John'
Young, '36, a member of the commit-
tee for the dance. She wore white
organdy with a small red print and
puffed sleeves edged with red moire
ribbon. An unusual feature of the
frock was the row of tiny buttons
down the front of the dress from
neck to hem.
Paul Phillips, '36, chairman of pat-
rons, brought Betty Bowman, '37, as
his guest. Miss Bowman wore white
satin with rhinestone trim as did
Barbara Roberts, 537, the guest of
Kenneth Mosier, '36E.
Doris Vater, '36, appeared in tea
rose taffeta made in the princesse
style with square neck and a flared
skirt, with which she wore green ac
cessories. Miss Vater attended with
Charles Framburg, '36E, committee-
man.
Pastel Colors Seen
Pastel shades of pink and Wue
were the choice of Alice Stebbins, 3,
and Inez Stevens, '37, who were the
guests of Jack Sinn, '37E, and Francis
Dulyn, '35E. Miss Stebbins' frock
was of organza, ruffled around the
bottom and accented with a blue
flower at the waist, and Miss Stevens'
which was of mousseline de sole, also
featured ruffles as trimming.
Rush Bowman, '37E, invited Dor-
othy Shutt, '37 to the Ball. She chose
dark blue net with a frilled train and
Dorothy Sprau, '36, who was the guest
of Don Norton, '35, ticket chairman,
appeared in green crepe with a black
stitched collar.
Betty Hill, '35, appeared in the
grand march with Don Norton, '35,
chairman of publicity for the dance.
Miss Hill's gown was pink crepe made
on simple fitted lines and with an
unusual collar finishing the neckline,
which was high both in front and
back.

CollectionOf o

By MARY GARVIN1
Antiques, so old that they are more
beautiful than all the new spring crea-k
tions, are owned by Mrs. George
Wahr. The collection and preser-1
vation of very old masterpieces hast
been her hobby and chief interest
since she was a young girl.
Her home, 95 years old, has recently
been written up by government offi-
cials for a record in the Congressional
Library. The architecture is old col-t
onial, and has never been altered or
remodeled. The house has the orig-i
inal staircase, doorknobs of brass
and cut glass, and panelled ceilings. i
One of the seven fireplaces in the
house is of particular interest as a
sample of old Victorian design, the
only feature of the house which isn't
colonial.

In the spacious rooms of her home,
Mrs. Wahr has nothing but antique
pieces which she has collected her-
self from the pioneer families of
Michigan and especially the surround-
ing counties. Her first piece was

GAD-ABOUT.
THIS isn't exactly the tree-
trimming season but in our
wanderingswe found that Calkins-
Fletche's have a new gadget . .
little rotund glass bottle with
crinkly gold or silver on the inside
that remind one of "The night
before . . ." These little festive
spirits are,, in reality, very clever
and highly decorative atomizers.
Another novelty for milady's bou-
doir is Peter, The Penguin (that's
a private name for him) . . . he's
made in front of white china and
in back of black cloth . . lift up
his ebon plumage . . and again
a perfect receptacle for your fav-
orite perfumes.

season called the Scramble Suit
. . . easy to make and one you'll
never tire of because it has so
many different possibilities. Take
an odd jacket, an odd skirt, an
odd sweater (or blouse) each of
a different color or pattern. Throw
them all together, don't mix too
well, add a dash of cute hat, and
serve any time, any place. All in-
gredients available at the Dillon
Shop: Jacket . $3.95, skirt . .$2.95,
blouses, sweaters . . . $1.95-$2.95,
and hats . . $3.95.
"ROSES are red, violets are
blue . ." It's an old, old
theme song and always appropri-
ate for just about now. Or if
you don't want them red or blue,
the University Flower Shop can
make up a lovely corsage for that
certain person on that highly im
portant ocassion, of gardenias,
spring flowers, and even orchids
(to fit the local purse, too.) There
are a great many parties coming
up in the next few weeks . .. just
don't forget that added touch that
will put you two jumps ahead of
the one who forgot!

AND NOW a private word o.
two from Gad-About. We've
heard that Graduation usually
comes along about this time of
year and that important event
always means the old problem
of selecting the appropriate gift.
In view of the situation we are
trying. to keep a weather eye open
for odd little things that will fill
the bill and from time to time
we'll try to pass them along to
you . . . if our suggestions aren't
sufficiently helpful we'd be glad
to offer a little timely aid if you'd
care to ring up.
