The Prom IN THE BEAUTIFUL BERTHANA HALL, Friday evening, March 28, Weber College held its first genuine college Promenade, an event which will ever have its place in school history as setting a standard for splendor and art. The ball commenced promptly at eight o'clock, but the students, evidently considering "formal" also to mean "fashionable," did not arrive until later, and by nine o'clock the hall was comfortably filled. The success of the affair is evident from the fact that many students from the University of Utah, the Brigham Young University, and several surrounding high schools, were in attendance. The Prom set a precedent in formality. The young gentlemen, handsome in their tuxedos and dress suits, lent an air of refinement that characterized the entire evening. True enough, during the first part of the evening, all the boys were very conscious of their formal attire, but after the hall was crowded, everyone became more sociable. The young ladies were more extravagantly gowned than on former occasions, and were well aware of their youthful charm. During the evening, acting President Blaylock read a letter from President Tracy, who expressed his regret at not being present, but extended his greetings to all present. He materially showed his interest by furnishing the punch and wafers. The culmination of the evening's events was the Grand March. To those who reviewed it from the balcony, it must have appeared magnificent. The colorful pro- cession was led by the Freshman class President and Vice-President, Mr. Van Tanner and Miss Myra Wright. They were followed by President Thomas E. McKay, President Samuel G. Dye, President Robert I. Burton, Ex-Mayor Frank Francis, Mr. A. P. Bigelow, and their wives, together with other prominent citizens. Next in line came the faculty, the Sophomore class, the Freshman class, and visitors. With so many people taking part in the well-planned movements, the spectacle was well worth seeing. The excellent music and the artistic programs helped greatly to make the social function a remarkable success. The dance programs gave the names of the selections, and included "Auf Wiedersehen," an old German love song, as the last dance. This number was intended to hold special significance tor the couples dancing it. Credit for the enjoyable occasion is due to the cooperation of the student body and alumni association with the committee, and also to those students and teachers who held out for formal dress. The committee consisted of Van Tanner, Myra Wright, Helen Wilson and Rulon Jenkins, ably supervised and assisted by Professor J. Q. Blaylock and Miss Betty Noble. It is expected and hoped that future classes will emulate the Nineteen Twenty- four Promenade of Weber College.
