Humorous Fantasy
"Oz U," a humorous fantasy, will
be given at twilight just preceding
the Lantern Night March in a na-
tural amphitheatre on Palmer Field
near the Observatory.
The pageant will take place behind
a mammoth frame and a public-ad-
dress system with two microphones
will be provided so the dialogue and
music will be audible over the whole
field. Programs will be distributed
to the audience explaining the scenes
and naming the characters.
"Oz U" marks the revival of the
freshman pageants after four years
of different activities for the first-
year women. Last year a Mardi Gras
was given at which Kay Carpenter
was crowned Queen. The year before
the project took form of a dance for
all campus.

Ticket Sell-Out
For Key Dance

Oil Can Of Sigma Defta Chi
Will Be Given To 'Most
Loquacious Lubricator'
A complete sell-out is expected for
the Key Dance to be given by the
honor societies on campus which will
be held May 29 in the Union Ball-
ioom, according to Frank Barnard,
'37, general chairman.
Although approximately 350 tickets
have already been sold, a few are still
available at the Union. They are
priced at $3.
Ina Ray Hutton and her Melodears
have been engaged to play for the
dance. Termed by musical experts as
one of the best woman's bands in the
country, Miss Hutton's orchestra is
coming direct from New York City
where it has been playing at the
I Casino de Paree.
STheKey Dance will mark the first
time that the campus honor societies
have ever cooperated for any single
social project. Michigamua, Sphinx,
Triangles, Vulcans, Druids and Sig-
ma Delta Chi are the groups jointly
sponsoring the dance.
One of the outstanding features
of the dance will be the presenting
of the Sigma Delta Chi "Oil Can" to!
the "most loquacious lubricator" of
the faculty. This is an old tradition
of the national professional journal-
ism fraternity.
The Key Dance will take the place
' of the former B.V.D. and Gridiron
dances which have been held in the
past. The first was given by the
Barristers, Vulcans and Druids and
the latter event was sponsored by
Sigma Delta Chi.
New P.''. Cluiii-~int
Annual Spring Ceremony
Will Include Freshman
Pageant, March
Originating with the first organ-
ized group of women on campus, Lan-
tern Night has long since become a
familiar tradition. It is a symbol to
the women, much the same as Cap
Night is to the men, of the passing
of the classes.
With field day as a center around
which to build, Lantern Night slowly
grew, each year adding new events
and improving the old. In 1913, it
was discontinued but the arrival of
1'.14 found it again in full swing, re-
vived by Dean Myra B. Jordan.
Since this time, it has been held
annually at the end of May. During
its growth in the course of the years,
it came to include the Freshman
Pageant and a picnic supper, as well
as class games and the promotion of

Did you ever read the want ads

the different classes portrayed by the
line of march procession.
Maypole dances were the only ac-
companiment to the dances until
1923. However, that year introduced
a dance drama with a cast including
women from all four classes.
The following year, the drama was
re-christened "a pageant" and hand-
ed over to the freshmen women who
have been in charge of it ever since.'
In 1932, the marci receded the pag-
eant, something that had never been
attempted before, anG the event was
held after dark for the first time.
Feeling that the freshman project{
should be self supporting, the fresh-
man women in 1933 varied from tra-
dition and undertook a Freshman
Lantern Night dance at the League.
Since then, various affairs have been
sponsored, this year being the first
return to the idea of a pageant.
The Lantern Night ceremony can
be briefly summarized. The different
classes gather on Palmer Field in sep-
arate groups. The seniors, who have
been standing on a hill, march down
to the field, carrying lanterns, sym-
bolic of the light that has carried
them through their senior year.
They solemnly hand these to the
juniors. who in turn pass the flowered
wreaths they have been carrying to,
the sophomores. The second year;
women continue the performance by
passing some symbol of their rank to;
the freshmen women. |
All four classes standing togethert
in block M formation sing the strains1
of "The Yellow and the Blue" andi
Lantern Night is formally concluded1
until the following year.

sell the Michigan Alumnus Magazine.
Now in its second week, the drive

cording to Mary Lambie, who is in

rious other schools. All sororities,
dormitories and independent women

tee.

any subscriptions gained during the
two week drive, whether through the
drive itself or through the Alumnus
office will be accredited to the League.

by T. Hawley Tapping, general secre-
tary of the Alumni Association, goes
