Play At op
The 1936 J-Hop is an event of the
past, and the huge Intramural Gym-
nasium, transformed into a ballroom
for the biggest function of the Uni-
versity social year, is in darkness.
Music presented by two nationally-
known bands, playing for a St. Valen-
tine's Day J-Hop, ceased shortly
after 3 a.m., and the 2,200 guests
made their way into the night - to
breakfasts and finally sleep to pre-
pare for the intense social program
outlined by the various fraternities
for the week-end.
A consensus of the departing
guests indicated that the 1936 J-Hop
would not suffer by comparison with
any junior dance held since the very
first in 1876.
The long line of the Grand March
formed shortly after 12:30 a.m.,
marched several times around the
spacious gymnasium, and then
brought the Hop to a climax by
forming the traditional block "M"
at the east end of the ballroom.
A group of over 2,200, the largest in
years, led by Benjamin G. Cox, '37E,
of Terre Haute, and Virginia Lee,
also of Terre Haute, gathered to
celebrate the high point of the win-
ter social season by dancing to the
slow languid music of Jan Garber
and the swingy rhythms of Jimmy
Lunceford. Throughout the evening
many of the revelers gathered about
the two bandstands to enjoy Lunce-
ford's Harlem antics, and the superb
technique of Garber's violin playing.
Ornate decorations changed the
gymnasium into a beautiful ballroom.
A large revolving globe, composed of
small hexagonal mirrors and sus-
pended from the ceiling of sky blue,
reflected the many-colored lights

Couples poured into the ballroom
in a steady stream, coming from
house parties and formal dinner
dances. The crowd steadily in-
creased until the beginning of the
Grand March found the transformed
gymnasium packed to capacity.
The patrons' booth was crowded by
a large number of dignitaries, Uni-
versity administrators, faculty mem-
bers, and parents of committee mem-
bers. More than 200 people were in-
cluded on the list of patrons and pa-
tronesses.
Broadcasting!
J-Hop dance music was broad-
cast direct from the ballroom floor
on a full-hour program from 11:30
p.m. to 12:30 a.m. over Radio Sta-
tion WJR, Detroit.
The broadcast was divided into
two 30-minute programs with Jan
Garber playing one half and
Jimmy Lunceford and hishband
providing the music for the re-
maining time.
Facilities of the University
