The Trimrose Tath
Spring came, this week-end, stayed a few hours, breezed off again, but it
left us all with a touch of that spirit that turns men's fancy to anything but
bobks and work . .. th week-end was filled with a diversity of entertain-
mit . . . ranged from the big formal Assembly Ball Friday night, through
bile rides and roller skating escapades, to a swell basketball game and a
suber hockey game and dancing at the favorite haunts of the campus Satur-
da night-...
The "Mystery of the Assembly Ball," or "Where Were the "U" and the
"1"' in the Assembly Insignia" has not yet been solved. Berta Knudson, who
devised the ,emblem, didn't intend to include the letters but others insisted
that if one looked hard enough and with enough imagination they could
be discovered . . . The solution will have to be announced at a later date,
if and when the insignia is ever used again..
Seen puzzling over the big gold emblem were Norman Springett and Pearl
Ichldinger . .. A fraternity brother of Norm's, Marshall Smith, was trying
to influence Rachel Lease that the "M" really existed. Rachel had a mind
of bher own though and refused to change it . . . Samuel Hulett also had his
opition on the subject of the moment ...
Helen Newberry Residence was well represented at the Ball .. . Rowena
La Coste . . . gold polka dots splashed all over her black gown . . . was
caight by the candid cameraman down by the main desk of the League ...
Beth Bezant, another Newberryite, exchanged dances with Lillian Platte
we noticed . .. Roland Landa was Beth's guest and Lillian invited John
Pi pont. Virginia Carr and John Mumford wre dancing near the orchestra
when we saw them . . . picking their way admirably through the melee of
couples crowding the dance floor . . . And who there didn't pay the
strictest attention when that clever floor shoe was given about Major
Bone's amateurs . . . Indiana University ought to hide in a dark closet
after the representation it received--
Lawyers Well Represented...
Quite a few lawyers attended the Ball . .. what with Robert Ward, John
Le'nard, Charles Rogers aid Thomas Dewey... Incidentally, the ones who
weie responsible for their being there were Janet Landon, Betty Warwick,
Ruth Sandusky and Virginia Renz. During breakfast we saw George Schmidt
flicking candle wax all over Frances Carney's dress in the fashion displayed
so humorously in a recent picture . . . only cigarette ashes were used in the
filrii.. . . Robert Curren wrs abting as an audierice for the show ... Another
stdht from the same picture was being enacted by Miriam Sanders and
William Burke . .. Bobbing up and down... . First Miriam . .. then William
to the rhythm of the music ...
Standing by the door to the Ballroom were Eleanor Peshke and John
Lillie ... having a good time as usual.. Helen Louise Aner and Paul Yergens
pased them on their way to join the too-many dancers who were enjoying
just about the best music they have heard this year. . . Having quite a time
with introductions and hand shakes . . . were Gail Wellwood and Charles
Peterson ... it seems nobody could catch anybody's name ... perhaps the
difficulty was caused by the ordestra's rendition of "Hold That Tiger" ..
During the breakfast of the central committee. . . with Janet Karlson .at the
held of the table . .. where she belonged . . . joy reigned supreme. The
big event was over ... everyone had a good time . .. it was' almost Three
O'Clock in the Morning . .
Those who didn't attend the Ball at the League Friday night all flocked
to the Union after the track meet . . . They were in jubilant spirits after the
algla, mater's fine showing and swing was the thing in Ann Arbor ..
Overheard some very heated discussions on the subject . . . Several tables
wee discussing the fundamentals of the dance and the proper technique
foi its execution ... Eleanore Swan and John McKee, Jr., gave a good exhibi-
tion of just how it should be done . . . everyone found it much better than
the pure theory of the thing ... Marion Donaldson and Ladd McKay were
at a long table on the edge of the dance floor . . . Amng their group were
Jahe Nussbaum and Waldo Abbott, Jr., and Doris Bolton and Fletcher
Pltt ...
Shrieks And Screams...
Fred Colombo, football manager, was there with campus beauty Marcia
Cohnell. . . spotted them dancing on the floor ... Martha Cook and Harvey
Ellworth were among the crowd,. .'. Martha was wearing a very attractive
rust dress with gold ornaenr .. . Jean Lillie and Rodger Longley were
trijping the light fantastic along with Barbara Heath and Bud Lundahl, and
there is a man who card really "trip" ... Also got a glimpse of Dorothy Bar-
rett and Jack Cochrane ...
Wierd sounds and shrieks, screams and whistles issued forth from
the orchestra as they whined out "Mr. Ghost Goes To Town". . . they made
badkbones curl up into a semi-circle and shivers travel up and down spinal
cartilages . . . Betty Gatward and Frank Danemiller stopped after the
dance to talk to Hattibel Grow and John Walker ... The shouts from one
of the tables nearly rivaled the shrieks of the orchestra . . . It was Margaret
Dotds and Stuart Forbes, Betty Schuele and Bob McKinvon, Barbara Bene-
diet and Charles Forbes all having a hilarious time . . . Also at the same
table were Beatrice Schink and Don Schneider...-
We would liked to have caught the story behind the situation wherein
a very abashed girl at first dubiously and then suddenly with a burst of
laughter accepted the candy mint offered by her date. . . Just overheard the
reiark "Not a life-saver!" . . . it piqued the journalistic curiosity of sev-
eri ... Some of the others at the Union Friday were Marguerite MacGregor
and Louis Belden, and Betty Ward and Don Alexander ... Betty King and
Bob Baxley were making good use of the orchestra and the floor . . .and
Ruth Calkins and Jack Woodison weren't far behind ... 'Ruth had on a very

stunning dinner-dress . . . black velvet with a gold lame jacket-top ---
At Improvised Tables ...
The spring air Saturday afternoon turned everyone's thoughts to bicycles
and roller skates . .. we tried very hard around about two o'clcok to study,
but the balmy breezes called too loudly and old man temptation got behind
us and pushed and pushed ... Walked way down to the shop only to find
that scores of people had the same idea and no bikes were to be found .. .
so the books got a break for a change . .. But the balmy breezes turned
cold toward night and the would-be bike rides turned beaming faces
toward the League and the Union ... and the hockey game ...
The Union was over-crowded and tables seemed to be much in demand
... one ingenious couple, not being able to find a table, drew up two chairs,
a waiter's stand, a tray, and a candle to create a cozy little scene . . . Jean
Bertram and LaVerne Burns were there ... There were innumerable beaming
initiates on the dance floor proudly bearing gay corsages and shiny pins ...
Among the dancers noticed were Mary Wickes and Jack Porter, Miriam Szold
an'd Dave Breezin and Jaros Jedel and Don Stein .. .
Everyone seemed to be having a grand time at the S.C.A. dance at Lane
Hall Saturday night . . . Saw Dick Clark and Claire Gaston there . . .

Spring To Inspire
New Rainbow Hues
For Campus Shoes
Instead of the proverbial 'rainbow
'round your shoulder,' 1937 fashions
decree a distinct drop of rainbow
hues and you will find yourself hum-
ming, "There's a Rainbow Round
My Feet."
Even the old faithful variety of
school shoe is stepping out this spring
in bright reds, blues and greens, with
reverse calf as the most popular ma-
terial for the shoe that will need to
hike down the diagonal. Be sure to
try to match a bright skirt or blouse
with a new pair of colored shoes.
Street shoes in one master stroke
combine the whole rainbow of colors.
Suede is undoubtedly the most widely
used leather for this type of shoe,
with patent leather coming in for. its
share of popularity.
In almost every shop you can find
these shoes with ties high about the
ankle and a heel looking as if some-
one forgot to put enough leather on.
If you prefer something different, the
newest thing in streatwear is one
which is high cut almost to the ankle
which you can just slip on-not a
button nor a strap being there to an-
noy you.
Another style which is promising
as a street shoe has slightly higher
heels than usual, having two straps
that cross over the instep. Coming
in a combination of almost any four
colors you might want, they can be
used for any occasion.
On the whole 1937 feet will at-
tract attention, so away to meet
spring with our brightest and best
foot forward!
