Lantern Senior Women To Wear Garb Of Graduation Vocal Groups To Vie For Winners' Awards Senior women, robed in their caps and gowns, will be honored Monday; May 15, in the annual Lantern Night tradition. The main event of this 37th Lantern Night program will be the singing competition between chor- al groups from the women's resi- dences. The winning chorus will be awarded the first place cup, won last year by Mosher Hall.-. THIS YEAR, however, elimina- tions are being held and only 13 groups will sing instead of the large number of entries in past years. The eliminations, will be 1held from 7 to 10 p.m. Monday in the Hussey Room of the League. The newly inaugurated award for posture will be judged Mon- day while the groups are parti- cipating in the eliminations. This will give every group a chance to receive the award even A if they don't sing in the regular Lantern Night program. The posture cup, which was giv- " en for the first time in 1948, is now held by Pi Beta Phi. The cup will be awarded Lantern Night to the winning group. * * * EVENING FESTIVITIES will begin with the traditional march to Hill Auditorium. All women stu- dents are to line up at 6:45 p.m. in front of Angell Hall. The Michi- gan Marching band will lead the parade around the original 40 acres of the campus and finally end on the "mall" in front of the League. According to the tradition, the seniors will wear caps and gowns; junior women are to have yellow hair bows distin- guishing them from the sopho- mores wearing red bows and the freshmen who will wear green hair bows. Strangely enough, Lantern Night is an out-growth of a program which originated in 1913 and was a women's field day on Palmer Field. All coeds participated in y various races and events. Gradual- ly class stunts took the spotlight. The first line of march took place around Palmer Field in 1932. WITH THIS IDEA of a parade came the tradition of Japanese Lanterns and hoops and thus the name'Lantern, Night originated. It was the custom of the day for all the seniors to carry Jap- anese lanterns in the procession. At the same time, juniors car- ried hoops through which the freshmen jumped At the close of the program, the senior lanterns were given to the juniors while the hoops were pass- ed on to the sophomores. The school has grown since then and now all that is left of the lantern tradition is the carrying of lanterns by the seniors who head the line, of march.
