Page Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, February 15, 1936 Garber And Lunceford 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 Committee Provides Thirty-Four Booths For Campus Groups Thirty-four booths, the largest number used in recent years for the J-Hop, were assigned to the following groups; 1.

Local Weather Fails To Scare Invadin Armvi Fas hions OfPeriod Displayedj By Charlotte D. Rueger 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. Comes From Wisconsin 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.
