-Hop Big Event
ay Backin 1892'
Dance Held
n Ice Rink
Times may come and times may
go, but the J-Hop, it seems, goes
on forever. Although styles have
changed and the carriage now runs"
under its own power, the J-Hop,
even though under a different
)ame this year, remains one of the
University of Michigan's most
faithfully carried out traditions.
The big between - semesters
dance 50 years ago was quite dif-1
ferent from tonight's gala affair,
but the same spirit of gayety was
piresent, as can be observed from
the write-up it was given in The
Daily way back in 1891:
:fad Elaborate Preparations
The boys of '92, having the prep-I
irations for the party in Charge,0
early resolved to make the dance
this year the most successful ever t
Iheld, and they succeeded most ad-
}sirably. Not only were the prep-
,rations more elaborate, but every- 5sM
t'iring was more carefully arranged . "'
and systematically carried out MICHIGAN FEMALE-1892
than heretofore.
The decorations of the rink (the .
old University skating rink) sur-
passed anything of the kind ever
attempted here. The work of decor-
ating was in the hands of a Detroit ' ""r
firm. The background on the walls -
was a dark red, relieved by groups
of fraternity emblems, and flags,
The overhead decorations were the f
finest, yellow and blue being the
}prevailing colors.-
The Grand March
Gibson's art parlors were used
as reception rooms and a covered }
passage admitted the guests to the
),ink. The grand march startedj
shortly after 10 o'clock, and was
led by Mr. James Van Inwagen, Jr.,
and Miss Bertha Baker of Toledo.
The music for the evening was fur-
nished by Schremser's Society Or-
chestra, of Detroit. One orchestra
furnished the music for the dances,
the other for the promenaders.j
There were on the program 24
regular dances, 12 extras and 4 -f
oxtra extras. (Some of) the regu-
tar dances were as follows: t'
Waltz, "Santiago," Corbin; Pol-
ka, "Pretty Gypsy," Wiegand; Gal-
op, "On the Go," Weingarten;
Schottische, "McGinty," Flynn;
Waltz, "Sweet Dream," Eilenberg;#
Polka, "Little Gretto," Tobain. MICHIGAN MALE-1892

Well-Known Party Goer
Gives Hints On What
To Do, Where To Go
(Editor's Note: In response to
numerous queries on what to do on
the second night of Victory Ball
week-end, The 0aily prin tte 1o1-
lowiog article. Th e'rterto 0
well known party-goer and general
asan-about-town. J. Pierpont Mor-
ganhouse.)
Uppermost in the minds of more
than 1,000 couples attending the
1943 Victory Ball is the problem
of what to do and where to go on
the once informal night of J-Hop.
With two-night dances and
house parties now numbered
among the casualties of the Sec-
and World War, many University
students have found this question
more perplexing than the usual
Michigan coed.
The Local Taverns
There are actually many possi-
bilities, however. For those who
are old enough there is always a
quiet evening at one of the local
taverns. The big moment from
out-of-town will probably even
enjoy this as typical Joe College
(now exiled for the duration)
stuff.
For those guys lucky enough to
possess a car and a C card there
are a few spots across the county
line where no questions are asked.
Of course, if she came all the way
from Timbuctoo, chances are a
night on the barroom floor may
not make a big hit. But after all
this is war.
If anybody feels athletic enough
don't forget the bowling alleys
There's nothing like an evening
of sports on an unexciting Satir-
day night. A little west of town
there's even a roller skating rink
for any skillful exhibitionists in
the crowd.
Those Fraternity Parties
Record dances aren't unheard
of even though house parties are
out for the duration. Fraternity
men and their dates may have a
second dance to go to although ont
a smaller scale. Suggested rem-
edy to non-fraternity men: get
I to know a fraternity man.
Only, only as a vary last resort:
is this possibility mentioned. It
seems sacrilegious to waste such
a wonderful weekend in a movie
theatre, but if you can't think of
anything else, fellas, don't over-
look the back row of the balcony
Best bet for a good time: a car
a gal and a moon.
