Honored By Ball
Union And Masonic Hall
To Be Scene Of Dances
In Honor Of President,
Reid Peirce, general chairman for
the President's Ball, in this district,
wishes to announce that the annual
President's Birthday Ball. which will
be celebrated all over the country, will
take place at- 9 p.m., Friday, Jan. 30.
This year the ball will be celebrat-
ed in the Union Ballroom and down-
town in the Masonic Ballroom. Bill
Sawyer and his orchestra will fur-
nish the music for the ball held at
the Union. With the orchestra will
be Miss Virginia Lee, as vocalist. Bill
Boyd and his orchestra will play for
the dance in the Masonic Ballroom,
and the vocalist will be Miss Cecelia
Burch.
The President's Ball is readily be-
coming a tradition as one of the
worthiest benefits given during the
year. The proceeds go toward help-
ing the infantile paralysis victims at
Warm Springs, Ga. President Roose-
velt suffered from the same affliction
and was cured at the sanatorium in
Warm Springs, hence his interest in
this project.
Tickets will be priced at $1 per
couple and thisentitles them to at-
tend' either dance or both if they
should care 'to. Tickets will be on'
sale in the near future."
Alumni Statistics Given

1937, the University has conferred
78,752 degrees upon 68,388 persons,;
it was announced recently.j
Children's Play,
Gains Interest
.From Audience
The last Children's Theeatre pro-
duction of the season, an operetta
adaptation of Anderson's tale, "The
Ugly Duckling," opened at 3:45 p.m.
yesterday in the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre. Richard McKelvey, Grad.,
directed and the general chairman
was Roberta Chissus, '39, chairman
of the League theatre arts commit-
tee.
The 350 who attended succeeded in
providing as much interest for adults
as the play itself according to offi-
cials. In addition to the general col-
orful note they provide, the audience,
in ratio of ten children to one adult,
always adds incidents of its own.
There are the quarts of nickels and
pennies that are presented for tickets;
there are the discussions between
adults and their smaller companions
about whether the tickets shall be
front or rear. (They invariably con-
promise on the front row!) There are
the tickets presented after weeks in
a youngster's pocket, leaving some
doubt about their identity as tickets.
Two other performances will be
given at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. today
in the Mendelssohn Theatre.
