'SANTA'S FANTASY':
FormalTo Be Held at Union
I. !*
Union executive Council mem-
bers are going into the final phase
of planning for the Union's Christ-
mas formal, "Santa's Fantasy" to
be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sat-
urday, December 15 in the Union
Ballroom.
Clare Shepard and his Union
band will play music for the
couple's dancing pleasure and he
promises to create a mellow mood
in keeping with the formal at-
mosphere.
TICKETS FOR the dance are
priced at $1 per couple. Mark Os-
cherwitz, publicity chairman says,
"The Union has made it a policy
not to raise the Saturday night
dance price even for the Christmas
formal."
This year's decorations will
feature a large arch around the
ballroom door as well as Christ-
mas trees and mistletoe. Santa
has also planned a pre-Christ-
mas arrival.
As in past years this season's
dance will be formal and staged
in a typical ballroom scene.
"SANTA'S FANTASY" is the
t w e 1 f t h traditional Christmas
dance given by the Union. The
first dance was held in 1939 and
was entitled the "Jingle Ball."
Old Saint Nick was present in
all his glory with a bag full of
gifts for all who attended the
ball. The evening featured spe-
cial giift presentations to the
various fraternities on campus.
The Christmas ball in 1940 was
highlighted by the entertainment
from dancers at the Club Wolver-
ine, the name given to the dance.
A ten foot Santa Claus kept a
watchful eye over all the night
clubbing students.
NOT ONE but two large Santa's
presided over the 1941 dance. To
add to the suspense the gala de-
corations for the dance were kept
secret until the couples arrived at
the ball.
An introduction of a new song
written by a University student,
Ruth Wolkowsky entitled "To
Late" sparked the yuletide dance
at the Union in 1944.
The University celebrated "peace
on earth" at the Christmas formal
in 1945. This was the first all-out
campus dance held following the
war.
A 30 GALLON punch bowl serv-
ed the crowds of students and
flowers were presented to each co-
ed attending the dance.
Guests were invited from six
Michigan colleges and coeds
were escorted to the 1946 ball
by the members of the Union
council. The entiredance was
planned around the theme of
Michigan traditions.
This dance ran for two nights
for the first time in Union history.
JACK AND the Beanstalk in-
vaded the Union in 1948 in the
form of a grotesque giant which
stood watch throughout the eve-
ning behind the bandstand.
Jack's eyes were lighted up to
indicate his merriment at seeing
such a gala occasion. Beanstalks
were placed so that they came
creeping up the stairway into
the ballroom.
Huge Christmas trees, a large
artificial fireplace and recorded
Christmas carols added to the
holiday spirit at Santa's Fantasy
last year. An outside display of
Santa arriving at the ballroom
was set up in front of the Union.
The Union executive council was
feted at a banquet preceeding last
year's dance climaxing their weeks
of work in preparing for the dance.
Union officials claim that the
1951 versionof Santa's Fantasy'
will be the best of the long series
presented by the Union and will
rival any of the traditional cam-
pus Christmas balls.
Assembly Ball
Deadline for Assembly Ball
petitions has been extended un-
til noon tomorrow due to the
Thanksgiving holiday. Peti-
tions may be handed in at the

sic. They will sing such favorites
as "Lazy River," and "Honeysuck-
le Rose."
Playing in the "tailgate" tradi-
tions of New Orleans will be Bob
Shanahan on the trombone.
This style of music was so
named when at functions in New
Orleans, the tailgate was removed
from trucks which carried bands
to make room for the trombonists
and his instrument.
Al Herman will be featured on
the drums in "When the Saints
ComeMarching In." While Grant
Smith will be spotlighted in the
popular "Down Yonder."
