Hoag land Band Will Furnish Dance Music Theme Of Traditional Formal Will Be 'Modernism'; Wheels, Pistons To Decorate Ballroom Everett Hoagland and his orches- tra were chosen yesterday to furnish the music for the annual winter En- gineering Ball which will be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday, Jan. 17, in the Union Ballroom. Termed by many as one of the smoothest sweet bands in the coun- try, Hoagland's Orchestra has ap- peared at several leading hotels dur- ing the last few months including the Waldorf Astoria, the Cleveland Hotel and, most recently, the Statler Hotel in Boston. Last month the Hoagland orchestra appeared on the Fitch Band Wagon. The orchestra's style is very simi- lar to that used by the late Orille Knapp whose trumpet player, now with Hoagland, sets the rhythm of the group. 'Modernism' To Be Theme Theme for the Engineering Ball will be "Modernism" and plans have been pade to decorate the Union Ballroom in an appropriate manner with various geometric designs sym- bolizing the so-called "present ma- chine age." According to George Weesner, '41E, and Robert Bishop, '41E, the decora- tions will be similar to those seen at various automotive and mechani- cal exhibits at the New York World's Fair. They are expected to consist of such things as gears, pistons, and wheels. - . a JeaerB Jn CUeCap- By JEANNE CRUMP 11 Is it going to snow, or isn't it? Well, the answer is that it probably will, sporadic as the white flakes may now be. so it's best to be pre- pared. Too many are the coeds who screech and say they haven't a thing to wear when some Michigan man suggests a snow party or to- boggaing in the Arboretum. They are missing a good time-they'll never realize how good a time one can have until they try it-and as things stand, will probably continue to miss it. Very smooth costumes can be either bought or put together. .Lucky are the girls who can get a complete cos- tume. They should remember that the newest thing in ski suits has a god deal of braid on it, and they should choose carefully when picking the mittens and cap-either some- thing dark so as not to interfer with the braid, or if the suit is dark and tailored, make the accessories bright. But most of us just have the ski pants, or intend to ask Santa Claus for them so that we won't ever again be caught unawares when the outdoor calls. And from this we'll concoct a snappy ensemble. To all such people, this plea is made. DON'T let the outfit LOOK put together. There is nothing quite as snappy as a girl in good looking snow clothes, but when they're not snappy they're thoroughly sloppy. So put lots of thought into the color scheme. Ran- sack not only your own wardrobe, but that of your roommate or your best friend for exactly the right articles. Many depend on a heavy sweater for initial warmth. A knitted ba- bushka of the same wool or match- ing socks would make the outfit a unified whole. If you prefer a kerchief, remember that it's much more graceful to have it reach all the way to the shoulders, not show- ing a few inches which will soon be scraggly with the help of damp snow. If it's an odd jacket that will be used, be all the more careful that i& deceives. The best way to make it seem to have been there from the beginning is to choose a direct con- trast in either color or design. If other things permit, throw a very long scarf over one shoulder, or be more original and wrap the scarf around your head to guard the curls, and let whatever length is left float down your back. Though many are those who don't seem to realize it, feet are important things where looks are concerned. It's worth a few extra dollars to get boots to tramp in the snow with. Fleece lined rubber or suede ones can be used for this as well as for campus wear. Neat leather boots are nice, of course, but not many can afford them. Ski boots are not a necessity, Boxes For Jewelry Make Practical Gifts If you're left in. a quandary about what to give mother, best friend, sis- ter, or room mate for Christmas, why not settle on a both stunning and practical jewelry box? The price range and variety is tremendous. Wooden or satin ones may be pur- chased for a dollar, while silver, gold, or jeweled ones range from 10 dol- lars to several thousand. Original and novel are the musical jewelry boxes most of which are made of delicate and old fashioned look- ing china. Each time the lid is open- ing, the box tinkles off a tune, which sounds especially pretty when you're putting on all your gold and glitter to catch that certain man's eye. froim CHELSEfI Flower Shop Phone Orders Carefully Filled 203 East Liberty St. JUNE and ARLINE ROSS but you'll probably like the sport so much you'll want to get some.
