To Decorate Ballroom
At International Affair
A look at the Eiffel Tower, as
well as at Mount Fujiyama and
the Taj Mahal, will be offered to
couples attending the eleventh an-
nual International Ball from 9 p.m.
to 1 a.m. Friday in the Union Ball-
room.
In line with the "Cosmopoli-
tan Night" theme of the semi-
formal, the ballroom entrance will
be transformed into a model of
the Taj Mahal.
* * *
THE 18 FOOT replica has been
fashioned by committee members
to resemble as nearly as possible
the famous Indian palace.
Emerging from the renowned
building, couples will find them-
selves amid the sands of Egypt,
as they gaze at a model of one
of the famous pyramids. Typical
desert plants will help complete
the illusion.
A model of the Eiffel Tower will
help create the atmosphere of
"Gai Paree," as couples wander
to the other side of the ballroom.
Palms and flowers will add fur-.
ther color to the festive atmos-
phere.
Houses typical of a Japanese
village will cluster around the foot
of Mount Fujiyama. A model of
this famous peak will rise near
the south end of the ballroom.
* * *
CREPE PAPER streamers, flow-
ers and bushes will complete the
transformation in the main danc-
ing area.
When couples attending the
ball, which is sponsored by the
International Students Associa-
tion, decide to "sit this one out"
they can stroll into the corridor.
Lined with large paintings of
world-famous monuments and
landscapes, the hallway will also
be in keeping with the internation-
al flavor of the dance.
The sketches, painted especially
for the occasion, will represent al-
most every country in the world.
Tying all the decorations togeth-
er will be a large United Nations
flag, to be placed over the band-
stand.
Open to everyone on campus,
the International Ball will fea-
ture the music of Carl Bonner and
the Bonnaires. Liz Palmer will
provide vocal varieties.

Martha Cook Captures First Place Honors
In Annual WAA Lantern Night Songfest
i
By SHIRLEY BLOOM
"Abstract Aires," the 83rd Sen-
ior Ball, will be held from 9:30
p.m. to 1 a.m., Saturday, May 23,
in the League Ballroom.
This all-campus semi-formal
dance has the honor of being the
oldest traditional dance on cam-
pus having been established long
before J-Hop.

THE EARLIEST records of spe-
cial entertainment in honor of
graduating students appeared in
the first student newspaper, The
Chronicle, a bi-monthly edition
which was later replaced by The
Daily.
In 1870, The Chronicle's first
year of publication, a story was
printed telling of a reception
held by the president at his res-
idence for the graduating class
and alumni of the University.
The senior reception program
continued to rise in popularity un-
til a dance was held along with
the reception and finally, a Sen-
ior Ball evolved.
THE YEAR, 1911, was an unus-
ual one for the senior event. The
dance was held from 8 p.m. to 3
a.m. and the grand march was
omitted because of the "unavoid-
able confusion and delay" it
caused.
Two senior dances were sched-
uled at the last minute in 1931
because of a demand for tickets.
Tal Henry and his North Caro-
linians played at the Union Ball-
rogm and the Union Orchestra
provided the musical setting at
the League.
Three-day house parties preced-
ing Senior Ball were the special
attractions in 1936, when Ted
Weems and his orchestra traveled
to Ann Arbor for the event.
AMONG THE suggestions given
by The Daily in 1935 for desirable
gowns to wear to the Senior Ball
was the following: "Dainty puffed
sleeves, trim white collar and cuffs
and a tightly fitted waistline form
a charming evening dress of dark
blue marquisette which would win
approving eyes of any coed's date."
The Daily was also keeping
pace with the fashion of the day
in 1935 when it described "the
very new, but already much
talked about shortbevening
dresses which would be seen at
Senior Ball."
Louis Prima played for the event
in 1946 when they used the theme,
"We came, we saw, we conquered."
Programs were designed to resem-
ble military discharge papers.
Last year's dance took place in
a "Once Upon A Time" setting
where modernized versions of
Mother Goose and her family made
an appearance for the occasion.
Through Senior Ball's long and
varied history, it has remained
one of the most important and
prominent events on the campus
social calendar.
Tickets for the dance for seniors
will be on sale today and tomor-
row from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the
Administration Building.
