1934 hop over; fun for all
even with mercury at --14
after the grand march was over
trains, tiaras, ruffles
reminiscent of '90's'
By Marnie Morrison and
Florence Harper
Appealing femininity contrasting
with the severe modernism of the
ballroom formed the scenic back-
ground of the 1934 J-Hop. Elegance
expressed in trains, tiaras, and wind-
swept ruffles seemed reminiscent of
the days when carriages drove in
procession to the ballroom door. As
in other days, daintiness of net, chif-
fon, and tulle were combined in all
the luxury of the mode, pastel shades
blending with the blue backgronnd
withdnow and then a more striking
note.
The keynote was struck by the
gown worn by Ann Timmons, 36, who
led the grand march as the guest of
Philip Singleton, general chairman
of the event. Fashioned of white lace,
Miss Timmons' frock swept back into
a long train, the low decollete of the
gown draped into a cowl effect. In
front the neckline was squarely cut
in a quaint line, and accented by
pearl and rhinestone clips. During
part of the evening the short match-
ing cape was worn by the first lady
of the evening.
As the guest of Charles Hewitt,
vice-chairman of the dance, Marion
McDougall, '35, chose rough pink
crepe for her frock. The distinguish-
ing feature of the frock was its long
pleated train. Jane Brucker, '35, who
entered the ballroom on the arm of
James Eberly, '35, co-chairman of the
floor committee, was charming in an
unusual shade of pink dust, with the
straight line broadened at the edge
of the decollete cape with ostrich
plumes.
The chairman of the invitations
committee, Ruth Kaser, attended
with Richard Schumo, '37. She chose
a frock with an intriguingly cut out
