SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN Hundreds Dance To George Dafy's Music At Annual Military Ball Spring Gowns Of Novel Style orn y any 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.

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. Spinning Wheel First Antique t 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 Where To Go t Mtion Pictures: Majestic, "Gold Diggers of 1935" with Dick Powell;< Michigan, "Casino Murder Case" with Paul Lukas and "Transient Lady" with Gene Raymond; Whitney, "Be- hind the Evidence" with Norman Fos-< ter and "Whom the Gods Destroy" with Walter Connolly; Wuerth,G "Charlie Chan In Paris" with WarnerA Oland and "Sweet Adeline" with Irene Dunn.
