THE MC11I+GAN DAILY PAGLF Pr ___ IC IGN_)ALY_ __1IEY i CA %AA:i w A 1 l9 kt_ Seniors Will Present Annual Ball at League Senior Ball, previously held at the end of the spring semester, this year will be presented Feb. 25, in the Ballroom and Vanden- berg Room of the League. The traditional dance, the 85th, is offered by the seniors, and held in their honor. Everyone on cam- pus is invited. Decorations will be based on the theme "Stardust." Warney Reule and his orchestra and the Carol Kenny Trio will provide music. Jobs Discussed By Counselors O u t d o o r activity, counseling techniques, camp movies, discus- sions, simple handicrafts and singing are scheduled for the Camp Counselor Club, which is sponsored by the Woman's Ath- letic Association. This group, under the leader- ship of Sue Prakken, is open to students interested in camp coun- seling, social or recreational work. The aim of the club is to provide an opportunity for students in- terested in camp counseling to meet and relate camping experi- ences to students desiring summer Jobs. At a meeting recently, each member told about her camp job and the skills required to obtain a position. Club members have made over- night hikes to the Girl Scout Lodge on Huron River Drive, three miles outside of Ann Arbor. Miss Prakken stated that major events this semester will be a bar- becue sometime in the spring, and a canoe trip down the Huron Riv- er. Facultyadvisor this semester is Miss Phyllis A. Philps, instructor in the women's physical education department. In past years the Ball has been held at the end of May. Because of the proximity to final examina- tions and graduation, and the competition of other spring danc- es, many students could not at- tend. As a result, the Ball proved to be a financial disappointment. - Began As Reception The earliest records of special entertainment in honor of gradu- ating students appeared in the first student newspaper, The Chronicle, in 1870. The Chronicle reported a reception held by the president at his home for the graduating class and alumni of the University. The senior reception program continued to rise in popularity until a dance was held along with the reception. The Senior Ball finally evolved. Past issues of the Daily, which later replaced The Chronicle, tell of many unusual events in the history of the, dance. Omit Grand March In 1911 the Ball was held from 8 a.m. to 3 a.m. and the grand march was omitted because of the "unavoidable confusion and de- lay" it caused. In 1931 two senior dances were scheduled at the last minute because of the demand for tickets. Ted Weems and his orchestra,. and three day house parties werej the special attractions of the 19361 Ball. Canoe trips on the Huron River, a trip to Detroit, and out- door sports programs were also scheduled for the weekend. The dance was made informal in 1946 because of a scarcity of men's formal attire. Modern Dance The Modern Dance Club will meet at 7:30 p.m. today in Barbour Gym.

'U' Teacher Likes Sports, Out-of-Doors Former State Champ Directs Golf Classes For University Coeds By MARY HELLTHALLER "I'd rather saw than sew," says Mrs. Violet K. Hanley, in charge of women's golf, former tourna- ment champion and first manager of an international women's golf team. This out-of-door preference shows up in her fondness for gar- dening, her interest in archaeo- logical research which led to a recent M.A. degree in anthro- pology and an intense pleasure in watching and participating in competitive sports. Football is her favorite game as a spectator. When in 1934, this golfing vet- eran retired from major tourna- ment competition after winning her fourth state women's golf championship, she left a 15 Year career which brought her1inter- national fame. Sports Enthusiast Mrs. Hanley has been interested in this sport since she was 10 years old, besides many others in- cluding sailing and swimming. However, her participation in them was cut short at an early age by the development of a thyroid con- dition. As a result she was advised to takeup golf as a less strenuous activity to satisfy her "enthusias- tic interest in any kind of com- petition." From an untiring amount of effort spent in practice, and un- der the sympathetic understand- ing of her husband, she achieved from 1921 to 1934 the distinction of qualifying for ten U.S. nation- al tournaments and managed the first Curtis Cup Team, which went to England. This happened in 1930 when she was chosen for the position because of her knowledge of Eng- lish play and her experience in international play. This team of 16 women chosen from all over the United States performed in Eng- land, Scotland and France. State Championships She took state championships in Michigan in 1924, 1927, 1930 and 1934. Also she won the Detroit district championships in 1925, 1926, 1927 and 1929. Her experi- ,ence out of the country includes meets in Canada, France and England. Although retired from competi- tion, golf still plays a dominating role in her life. Anyone strolling past Palmer Field in the spring or fall is apt to see her with a group of coeds "putting away on the practice green." She came to the University in 1929 at the request of Dr. Mar- garet Bell, supervisor of the wo- men's physical education depart- ment, to organize women's golf. This was at a time of an increased interest in the competitive angle of the sport. Teacher-Student Not content with only her work in producing good young golfers, she decided to try her luck in com- peting with younger minds in the classroom and entered the liter. ary college in 1934 as a part-time student. From this has resulted B.A. and M.A. degrees in anthro- pology. Mrs. Hanley divides' her time be- tween her work during the spring %nd fall, trips to Florida in the winter to watch tournaments, and time outs with her four grand- children in Bloomfield Hills. "Golf tournaments are my con- ventions," she explained. Future plans include getting a pair of Scotties and more traveling. This time it will be to the Far East to' finish her research on unglazed ceramics. In reference to her work with :oeds, she believes, "The quality of golfers who come to class today is far superior to those as recent as five years ago. Women are more interested in sports, and now in- stead of a lack of interest, there is the problem of a lack of space and teachers."
