THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1955 Costumes, Group Singing, Band o Highlight Paul Bunyan Dance THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Ft}E PAGE 7fl73 King of lumberjacks, Paul Bun-' yan, will reign supreme as the Forestry Club presents its annual all-campus dance from 8 p.m. to midnight, Saturday, at the Union Ballroom. Tickets for the event, priced at $2 per couple, may be purchased at the Union and at the School of Natural Resourses office in the Natural Science Building. The first Paul Bunyan Dance was held several years ago when foresters decided they would pre- sent a dance different from any- thing held on campus before. They rented an old barn and went clad n their oldest clothes. While plaid shirts and jeans prevaled at previous dances, this year the foresters are offering prizes to the couple dressed in the most original costume, early Amer- ican attire being most suitable. Singer To Play Hal. Singer's orchestra and a featured vocalist will entertain foresters and their friends as they re-enact the traditions of the days when logging was the most color- ful industry on the continent. Intermission entertainment will feature the forestry Jug band and a log sawing contest. Song sheets will be passed among the couples enabling them to join group sing- ing. Two students will lead the singing of ballads. As in former years, pine trees will be put up around the room to create the proper atmosphere. Decorations will also include equipment from each department of the School of Natural Resour- ces; forestry, wildlife manage- 'ent, wood technology, conserva- tion and fisheries. Legends Retold Paul Bunyan is the legendary figure about whom stories and tra- dition have been told and retold as a part of the lumberman's lore. One story says that the griddle on which they cooked pancakes for his breakfast was so big that the cook's helpers had to tie slabs of bacon on their feet and skate around the griddle to grease it. Pikes Peak is supposed to have been formed when Paul piled rocks around his pike pole, and he built Niagara Falls for a shower. The Mississippi River was formed when one of Paul's water wagons sprung a leak, and one day when he' vas feeling particularly sad, his tears formed the Great Salt Lake. Tomorrow at noon and at 1 p.m. Paul Bunyan parades will be held. Included will be the Ann Arbor Police Force ,a power truck loaned from the Michigan State Conser- vation. Department, the foresters' jug band, a logging wagon and other trucks carrying a power saw and part of the bar from the dance decorations. Plaid shirts have already invad- ed the campus as members of the Forestry Club celebrate Plaid Shirt Week, traditional feature preceding the dance. Foresters will wear posters on their backs, informing passersby that its bearer is selling tickets to the dance.

Club Shows Bridal Gowns; Coeds To Model Fashions Senior Coeds To Meet For Dinner, Program Traditional festivities will take place next Thursday when senior women will meet for the annual Senior Night dinner and program. Until 1935 a Senior Supper was held in Betsy Barbour. After din- ner coeds clothed in caps and gowns, paraded to Waterman Gym to view a show presented by the juniors. Upon completion of the Union, Senior Suppers were held in the new building, while the shows were given at the old Whitney Theatre on Main St. Starting in 1936 and continuing to the present time, the tradition- al dinners have been held in the League Ballroom. In 1936, seniors rented caps and gowns for the oc- casion and were charged 65 cents for the dinner and play. Numbers Repeated Taking full advantage of their class status, the senior coeds en-, joy the opportunity to call for a repeat performance of any song, dance, or scene they particularly liked. In 1938, however, the custom of throwing pennies, confetti, gum- drops and sticky stuff, was ta- booed. For the duration of the war, the Senior Supper was discontinued, although seniors were still invit- ed to attend the JGP production.' Senior Supper became Senior' Night in 1949. The Senior Night program begins at 5:30 p.m.' with the traditional march from the li- brary to the League. Following the parade, a banquet is served in the League Ballroom. Status Indicated At the dinner, each senior wo- man bears a sign of her romantic status. Married women carry candles while engaged coeds suck lemons. A pin-cushion made by Miss Ethel McCormick, social director of the League, holds safety pins which pinned seniors must wear instead of their fraternity pins. Every Senior Night 'general chairman is to inscribe her name on the cushion at the end of the ceremony. Unattached coeds carry pennies to toss in a wishing well, one for each year of their age.

Tley will present a skit which imi- tates a national TV variety pro- or by the junior women, in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. In previous years, seniors wore caps and gowns.

I By ROSE PERLBERG LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION: Construction Crews Prepare Lighting, Sound Effects, Frames for Skit Night By GAIL GOLDSTEIN Staging of the skits in Hill Audi- torium is a vital part of the prepa- ration for Skit Night which will be held at 8 p.m. tomorrow. Lighting, sound, and rehearsals are all the job of productions Co- chairmen Andrea Snyder and Dave Davies. They are responsible for working out the many problems connected with the staging of the skits. The basic stage is made up of four 16 feet by 16 feet frames cov- ered with black drapery. The com- mittee will provide the houses en- tering the competitionx with flood- lights, microphones, color frames, risers, traveling arcs, and other ne- cessary equipment. Skits Rehearsed Construction crews have been at work for weeks preparing the frames and gathering materials for use on the stage of the audi- torium. Yesterday ,all equipment was put up for a complete dress rehearsal of each skit. There will be a final practice at 7:30 p.m. to- day for line perfection and straightening out of mechanical details. Each group is responsible for its own show. The productions committee, however, assists houses. Flats have been constructed and painted by production crews from the various houses entering the competition. They have, with the COEDS: help of the production committee, designed appropriate scenery for their individual shows. Scenery Planned Scenery that will add to the meaning and authenticity of the skits has been the aim of the house crews. Correct lighting has also been a concern because this can make a great difference in thje effectiveness of a show. For the past several Wednesday afternoons meetings have been held by Miss Snyder and Davies with the directors and productions representatives of' each skit. In these meetings the various prob- lems of production have been straightened out. Also the commit- tee has used this time to inform the houses of instructions for the use of Hill Auditorium. Dressing rooms in the basement and on the second floor of Hill Au- ditorium have been provided to use in preparation for skits. Tickets are on sale in the Ad- ministration Building from 9 a.rn. until 5 p.m. and will also be sold at the door. Prices are $1.25, $1 and 75 cents. Wedding Attire..;. "Here comes the bride . . . Stepping in time to piano music, 15 members of the Newcomers section of the Faculty Women's Club walked down an aisle similar to that of a church, as they mod- eled wedding dresses worn during the last 75 years. Held at the League, the fashion show was the year's biggest event for the section.. Styles Changed The gowns, all originally belong- ing to section members, showed America's changing taste in wed- ding attire throughout the years. Perhaps the most striking con- trast was bgtween a dress worn originally in 1880, and one of 1929. Made of heavy silk faille, the former was adorned by a rich da- mask train, while the bride of 1929 appeared in a thin, netted, long waisted affair which came barely to the knees. Other gowns ranging in age from 70 to one year old were view- ed and appraised by members of the section and their guests. Hobbies Displayed Various hobbies of Newcomers were on display throughout the afternoon. Tea and cookies were also served at tables decorated around a wedding theme. Mrs. Richard Folsom, one of the Newcomers in charge of the event, remarked that the section gives some sort of fashion show every year. "Our last was one during which women modeled dresses they had made themselves," she said.. . * * Travelogue Show ...
