Something You'll Never Want To Forget
Three thousand University men
and women wandered home in the
I daylight hours today to retrieve some
purloined sleep, thoughts of a happy
i first J-Hop night still bright in their
collegiate memories.

destined to end soon after they be-

hours the campus lads and lassies
will step out again, in informal garb,
and to the syncopating pleasantrieis

uished dance band. Sir Benny will
be the ruling monarch at the Intra-
mural Building tonight.

participating in a "double-header"
Hop.

color and gaiety of the campus' lar-
gest and most spectacular formal
party. The industry of chairman Lee
Perry and his J-Hop committee had
converted the mammoth gymnasium
into a fanciful wonderland of music
and light. The musical organizations
of drummer boy Gene Krupa and
composer Raymond Scott furnished
the tunes for dancing.
