THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1935 TH E JE M IC HI 4AN C AD-AI LY Large Crowd To Attend Annual Caduceus Dance At Union Tonight r )on Redman' s Ruthvens Give Band Will Play First Tea Of Fo r Dancers Huge Paintings Of Skulls, Spectres Provide Death Note In Decorations About 350 couples will dance to the music of Don Redman's orchestra tonight at the Caduceus Dance, the second annual medical class dance, which will be held in the Union ball- room tonight. Tickets for the affair, which is open only to members of the medical classes, have been completely sold out and the ballroom will hold a cap~ity crowd. Edward Weinman, '35M, will lead the grand march with his guest, Miss Eloise Werst, of Steubenville, O. Death is to be the dominant note of the decorations for the ball. They were planned and designed by Don Lyon, '35A, who was assisted by Rich- ard M. Robinson, '35A. From the proscenium arch over the bandstand in the ballroom, a huge head-and-shoulder painting of Death stares down grimly at the entering dancers. Two large paintings hung at the north end of the room show "Death Thought," a skull-like head with life- less eyes staring from dull sockets at two cavorting fish-like creatures vis- ioned before it, and "Plague," a ghast- ly red spectre flying over a silent city. Between the two paintings over the fireplace is a black-and-silver caduceus, symbol of the medical pro- fession, reflecting the glare of a red spotlight. Over the entrance, on either side, will be two blue-and-silver caducei, while at the far end of the room are two miore paintings, one portraying a shapeless black "Death" fleeing through city streets with a protesting but helpless body and the other an operation known as Ritgen's maneu- ver. A group of cartoons of student medical life along the hallway lead- ing to the bedroom, completes the decorations for the dance. New Committees Announced For Annual J. G. P.

That the French are tremendous collectors and that I contacted a dealer who kept on the lookout for United States revenues and was willing to hold them for me, may account for this fact." Professor Bursley met this dealer, a retired army officer by profession, at' the Bourse Aux Timbres in the Champs Elysees, Paris, a rendezvous for philatelists since the Franco- Prussian war. Here a cosmopolitan group gathers Thursday and Sunday afternoons, and once they have spread their col- lections out on the little iron chairs along the boulevard, they mix infor- mally, trading, buying and selling. Early Revenue Stamp Found The word having been passed around that an American was inter- ested in purchasing United States revenues, the old officer brought a package of there over. for Professor Bursley's inspection.
