There's a room in the League, for- nerly known as the Game Room and more recently dubbed 'The Hang-Out,' where the six members of the costume committee for "Pig in a Poke," plus Chairman Jane Nuss- baum, Miss Ethel McCormick and occassionally Director Dick McKel- vey, struggle manfully with an array of cotton prints, satines, broadcloths, and even a bit of net. Committee Pressed For Time It's the scene, quite literally, of a struggle against time. That com- mittee, with its occasional assistants, must turn out costumes for four choruses and approximately a dozen other people, and in the latter case there are several costumes demanded for each. The deadline-March 22, at 8:30 p.m. Counting up the number of cos- tumes is only half the tale. One must take into account the period which is the setting for the story. The latter half of the 19th century was the period of ruffles-yes, indeed, ruffles on one's dress, all six petti- coats, and pantalets, too. Fortunate- ly, one of the three machines being used by the committee has a 'ruffle attachment.' You put in a straight piece of material and it comes out ruffled. It's a great advantage since approximately 1,600 yards of ruffles miust be sewn oni the various Cos- Black Stockings Finally Obtained One of the major difficulties fac- ing the committee was solved when the long black stockings to be worn by the 'Can-Can' chorus were found. Only the black feather fan and hign button shoes in an outsize remain to be located. With the men's cos- tumes arriving Saturday from New York, Miss Nussbaum's problems are fairly well solved, except- It's that last exception that finds the costume committee issuing an SOS to all junior women. If you have 10 minutes to spare (or an after- noon-much better), spend it in the Game Room. They have jobs of every dimension, from sewing on a hook to making a dress Trty Lne By the Neighbor "Well, here we are-," but not quite the same! We're all pretty sleepy people after another full weekend, but not a bit regretful about it all. For the class of '42 we raise three hearty cheers after their gala nautical Frolic. On shipboard we metBetty Hines and Bud Keetch strolling around the deck with Warren King and Elise Clark between dances. When Tommy Tucker swung into his taunting rhythm again, Bud Beth and Jean McCon- key followed suit with a new shag step and Betty Pusch and Jack Thompson joined the dancers. Among others enjoying T. Tucker's super band were Agnes Crow and Bill Comstock, Irene Musgrove and Dick Strain and Nancy{ Chapman and Ted Kennedy. Freshies ao Nautical Crossinig the gangplank during intermission, we saw among the "sea" of faces Jean Ramsey with Ernie Sharer and Gretchen Hasselbring with Ben Marino. On the terrace Nancy Gould and Buzz Brummel with Betty Whitely and Ford Brown were enjoying some refreshment in the form of gingerale. Trying to barge through the milling ' throng of dancers in search of the maestro's ..autograph were Barbara Suffrin and Bob Nabat- off followed by Muriel Fishman and Tommy Good- kind with Millie Epstein and Bob Lehvan in tow. Ih the throes of that smoothie "Deep Purple" were Ann McCarthy and Fred Picotte, Mari Eichel- berger and Tom Keppelman and Betsy Roosa and Charley King. Keep it under your hats now, but Jim Palmer hung his pin on Jeanne Hastie in the midst of the Union lobby-strictly confidentially, now! Friday night at the League found Bud Lundahl and Dottie Shipman bull-sessioning in between dances with Ralph Zimmerman and Mary Ash- ley anq Ruth Allen and Don Barnes. Listening to the Pi Phi's and Phi Psi's raising their voices in song were Larry Gay and Virginia Palmer with Martha Bedford and Bob Prasil at their table. More Tea Dances - . At the Alpha Epsilon Phi tea dance Saturday afternoon were Shirley Toubus and Jerry Mecklenberg with Marcia Sharfman and Jerry Baron. Talking to Doris Wechsler and Lenny Wingert we saw Ruth Rubiner and Arnold Friedman. Among the other merry-makers were Eunice Fuldauer and Buddy Gins, and Marcia Wilk and Sheldon Ellis. At Zeta Tau Alpha's informal dinner and radio dance Saturday night Jo Kift and Bill Craft had a wonderful> time gloating over a grand slam won from Betty Boothby and Bill Wetherby. After dinner we saw Dottie Cox and Karl Beck deep in conversation with Helen Westie and Doug Edwards. On the dance floor were Beth Anderson and Andy Gillette beating out the rhythm with Fay Rand- olph and Art Boettjer and Louise Aimmerman and Paul 5 Henzler. Saturday was the big night for the seniors at the League, and among the crowd were B. J. Mansfield and Harold Stewart and Madeline Krieghoff and Tom Cain. While Marcia Connell and Russ Strickland danced to Charlie Zwick's swing music, Virginia Voorhees with Jack Collins and Betty Spangler with Neil Levenson intently watched the identification pictures. Seniors Revive Class Spiri ... Betty Shaffer with Joe Hinshaw and Maxine Petersen with Ralph Heikkinen helped prove that the seniors certainly have some class spirit. Among some other '39ers helping to make the night a big success were Jane Elspass with Dave Laing and Bob Canning with Mary Mooney. All in all, we should say that the seniors as well as the freshmen really know how to have themselves a wonderful time! Over at the Tri-Delt house Saturday iight we found Migles Meloche and Dick Shetter dancing to the radio with Betty Clark and George Trendle. Helen Marsh and Ed Bradshaw with Mareau Price and Wally Hinkle nibbled sandwiches and drank punch while talking with Ann Wills and Hank Van Veen. Dancing to the swing tunes of Bob Steinle and his Melody Men Saturday night at the Union were Ann Hall and Jimmy Colenso and. Genevieve Spur- geon and Bob Wayne. Among some of the other dancers were Jerry Wilson and Ed Lahti and Virginia Hoezle and Bob Dimmler. if~. I,, I" , Coffee Hour To Be Held W.A.A.
