Assembly Bal, is held.

looking over the railing will be
able to see water of the Missis-
sippi.
Grand Rapids room of the
League will be the scene of a
ship's ballroom and will con-
tain certain symbols of night
life of the dancers. There will
be dancing here as well as in
the main ballroom.
Decorated in fashion of the era
will be the gay ship's saloon, lo-
cated in the League dining room,
and the gambling casino, across
from the main ballroom. Weary
dancers will be able to entertain
themselves with card playing.
MUSIC FOR the evening will
be provided by Phil Brestoff and
his orchestra from Detroit. In
keeping with the mood they will
play many selections from "Show
Boat," such as "Make Believe"
and "Why Do I Love You."
The "Little Club" will serve
refreshments and provide en-
tertainment during intermission
for "Show Boat" dancers.
Tickets for the semi-formal
event are priced at $2.80 per

Wednesday in their dormitories,
and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through
Friday in the League.
The committee asks that wo-
men wear no corsages to the coed-
bid dance.
The theme of "Show Boat" was
chosen because of its lightness
and festive nature, and Assembly
Ball promises to be an evening of
fun and entertainment for all
who come, according to the chair-
men for the dance.
