Play A Hop
The 1936 J-Hop is an event of the
past, and the huge Intramural Gym-
nasium, transformed into a ballroom
for the biggest function of the Uni-
versity social year, is in darkness.
Music presented by two nationally-
known bands, playing for a St. Valen-
tine's Day J-Hop, ceased shortly
after 3 a.m., and the 2,200 guests
made their way into the night - to
breakfasts and finally sleep to pre-
pare for the intense social program
outlined by the various fraternities
for the week-end.
A consensus of the departing
guests indicated that the 1936 J-Hop
would not suffer by comparison with
any junior dance held since the very
first in 1876.
The long line of the Grand March
formed shortly after 12:30 a.m.,
marched several times around the
spacious gymnasium, and then
brought the Hop to a climax by
forming the traditional block "M"
at the east end of the ballroom.
A group of over 2,200, the largest in
years, led by Benjamin G. Cox, '37E,
of Terre Haute, and Virginia Lee,
also of Terre Haute, gathered to
celebrate the high point of the win-
ter social season by dancing to the
slow languid music of Jan Garber
and the swingy rhythms of Jimmy
Lunceford. Throughout the evening
many of the revelers gathered about
the two bandstands to enjoy Lunce-
ford's Harlem antics, and the superb
technique of Garber's violin playing.
Ornate decorations changed the
gymnasium into a beautiful ballroom.
A large revolving globe, composed of
small hexagonal mirrors and sus-
pended from the ceiling of sky blue,
reflected the many-colored lights

Echoes of the old Grecian empire
and the later colonial period rever-
berated once again in the formal
gowns worn by many of the 1936 J-
Hop guests, and served as a marked
contrast to the sophistication of the
typically modern evening dress. The
valentine motif used in the decora-
tion scheme furnished an effective
background for the spectrum of col-
ors of the gowns. Dainty accessor-
ies of rhinestone and sequins empha-
sized the brilliance of the affair
which climaxed this winter's social
season.
Virginia Lee, a junior at North-
western University, led the grand
march with Benjamin Cox, '37E, gen-
eral chairman. Miss Lee selected an
especially attractive Molyneux pic-
ture gown made of ice-blue slipper-
'satin for the occasion. Her full skirt
was gathered at the waist line. The
neckline of her dress was cleverly
made with drop-shoulders. Her for-
mal was completed with a dark blue
velvet cape.

Betty Gregory, Detroit, guest of
James Briegel, '37, chairman of the
music committee, wore a delightful
model made in Bouffante style. Her
light blue taffeta formal was shot
with silver threads, and was nicely
accented by a cluster of red velvet
flowers held at the neckline. A stand-
ing empress collar completed her
formal.

the University of Wisconsin, attended
