School Colors To Be Feature Of Senior Ball Diplomas, Ligbts, Ira)cI Figures Of Graduates Will Decorate Ballroom Life not only "begins wi 40", ac- cording to the senior catch-phrase, but it also has a classic lilt to it, if the Grecian lines of the tall white' columns that will decorate the In- tramural Building, June 14, at Senior Ball, are any indication.y However, the year 1940 will be brought into sharp relief, and ancient Greece will disappear upon closer ex- amination of the columns. They are to be huge diplomas of dead white, tied with great maize and blue rib- bons, Annabel Dredge 'and James Wills, co-chairmen of decorations, have announced. Columns, Color Combine Between the columns the tall win- dows will be draped with soft folds of color. The entire length of one side of the ballroom will be hung with maize, and the opposite side with blue. Overhead, side draperies will meet # the folded ceiling valances of con- trasting color, so that the total effect' of the ceiling will be a maize and blue arrangement leading the eye to a painted drop, at the far end. Magazine Cover Bright Resembling the cover of Life maga- zine, this drop will feature the figures of a boy and girl dressed in cap and gown, stepping forth from the maga- zine to the ballroom. Softening the classic simplicity of these lines will be a skillful arrange- ment of pale lights filtering through the diploma columns. In contrast to the rest of the ballroom, the magazine cover will be brilliantly illuminated. leann Miller's Soloist Dressmaker's Oser /ere By VICKI MARION HUTTON TCHE LETTER BOX (Editor s Note: The opinions ex- pressed herein are the writer's own; The Daily assumes no responsibility for them.) Perhaps it's coincidence that the events of September 1, 1939, which furnished the inspiration for the title of this column should cause it to have peculiar significance as Ger- many threatens Paris on the eve of Swing Out, one of the oldest of Uni- versity traditions. It's not callous indifference to the danger threatening the United States' traditional allies which leads us to point out the ironical connection, but a still-firm conviction that war does not solve the difficulties of the uni- verse and a belief that to turn "Over Here" into "Over There" would spell disaster for the one corner of the earth in which sanity still reigns. It is not the business of a Woman's Page column to delve too deeply into the why's and wherefore's of the world-we don't pretend to know the answer to the difficulties which are ravaging Europe. We only know that we feel that to sacrifice the genera- tion of which we are a part seems to be making sacrifices without hope of achieving anything by the sacrifice. Rather than to pour the men who will make up two thirds of the Swing Out column into a war which the greatest of our historians and states- men cannot decipher into terms of right and wrong, we would take our chances on the future in exchange for an uninterrupted college career for our successors and a hope that our own futures won't be blighted by the horrors of war itself and of its even more threatening aftermath. This is not the argument of the men who pose as wisest, merely the plea of the generation which is most I Suits Retreat ~tTo Simplicty Included with simple swim suits this season, the summer resorts will display a bevy of bathing costume sets that replace last season's dress- maker type of suit. Fancy dressmaker suits have com- pletely metamorphosed into conserva- tive tailored types which permit that 50-yard dash to the raft. One style that is riding the crest of the popu- larity wave is a conservatively cut printed cotton with a separate wrap- around skirt that ties in a decorative bow in front. Topping a shining black lastex suit which features the new ballet skirt, a whitechenille reefer coat makes an outstanding costume to wear on the beach. But, if you favor the All- American material, cotton, and de- sire a costume which when complete is a dress, there is a special model for you. A gay green and yellow leafy-diamond print two-piece swim suit has an attachable dirndl skirt and a chic little bolero to match. For a variation of the usual suit a white sharkskin is inviting with a bright blue finger-tip blouse to slip on when the sun has departed in the West. A white sharkskin skirt edged in blue completes the outfit for a casual summer dress. nonorary Societies Elect New Officers Mortarboard and Scroll, all-cam- pus and affiliated women's senior honor societies respectively, have both recently held elections of officers for the coming year.
