Show Valentine Party ANOTHER FUNCTION to assume importance in the school's social calendar was the Valentine dance. This party, sponsored by the girls of the school, was held in the Weber Gymnasium ballroom, and was a success from every point of view. No special attempt was made to decorate the hall for the occasion. Girls' Dance THE FELLOWS OF THE COLLEGE were entertained as they never were before at the annual Girls' Day dance, which was held at the Weber Gymnasium, May 1. The girls gallantly called for their partners, took them to the dance, checked the hats, paid the admission, filled the programs, bought the refreshments and in many in- stances took their partner home afterward. It was the one dance of the year where there were no wallflowers, everyone danced. It was without doubt the most successful Girls' Day ball in the history of the school. Acorn Ball A PRECEDENT WAS ESTABLISHED in the giving of this year's Acorn Ball. The event has usually been regarded as an opportunity for raising funds for the publication of the Year Book. This time the desire for financial returns was subordinated to the desire to realize an ideal-a beautiful, artistic affair, such as would inspire the finest response in dance and song. An attempt was made in the decorations to interpret a Spanish idea, to create the romantic atmosphere of that classical country. In the far corners of the Ballroom were Acacia flower booths. Large Spanish lanterns furnished just the proper lighting effect. Through the featuring of some of the finer representative Spanish entertainment effort was made to make the Acorn Ball a night of real charm and memory, worthy of setting a standard for future annuals. Next to the Prom it was the greatest social triumph of the season. Miss Ella Robinson, selected queen of the ball, chose Steve White as king. They were attended by troubadours and gypsy maidens, in costume. Committees composed of members of the Acorn Staff, prominent students of the school and faculty members, assisted by a large group of willing students, were responsible for the decorations, for the program and for the Spanish garden in the balcony where refreshments were served. The activities of the evening were under the direction of Miss Marion Reed, faculty coach, and Mr. Earl Murray, business manager. Lack of space will not permit mention of all who worked to make the affair such a magnificent success. |
