ETHEL HOLMGREN QUEEN OF THE ACORN BALL Acorn Ball GAY, coquettish evening, fashioned of straight! In a flash of laughter and color, the Acorn Cabaret danced in and out of existence leaving behind only its glass slipper of imperishable memories. The Weber ball room was transformed into a cabaret of bewildering color and light. Dazzling reds and greens with misty stars twinkled overhead, and great illuminated baskets of crimson poinsettias glowed in individual brilliancy. Tiny foursome tables were grouped about the room leaving only a circle in the center for features and dancing. At the east end of the hall, in a flood of white, was the Weber Queen's table. This was artistically defined by two slender, white tapers and purple, and white flowers. All other tables were beautifully adorned with poinsettias and tall red candles. At the initial stage of the festival, the queen, Miss Ethel Holmgren, entered the room with her attendants and was saluted and toasted. Then, in a swirl of vivaciousness, Miss Vida Wright interpreted the spirit of the cabaret and enticed the queen to join in the revelry. Ballet dances, furnished by courtesy of both the Reed and the Christensen schools of dancing, served to enhance, even more, the refined and beautiful tone of this ball. The refreshments were listed on unique, hand-designed and painted menus and were served by a group of daintily-clad girls. Guided by Miss Marion Read, the Acorn Staff completely deluded the merry-makers until the stroke of twelve, when as do all such dream-like images, the Acorn Cabaret merged into memory. The College Prom RESPLENDENCE and individuality in every detail marked the annual college promenade, one of the foremost parties of the year. The beautiful Berthana ball room, as a setting, was reminiscent of gracious simplicity. Tall ferns and palms, placed about the hall and in the Blue room, created a most delightful background for the dancers. The feature of the evening was the grand march led by Elmer Neilson and his partner. The procession weaved itself into a gigantic "W, at which time, two tiny girls distributed dance programs, distinctive in their simplicity. From then until the strains of "Auf Weidersein" had faded into memory, the dancers were in a new and fascinating sphere, and as the waltz echoed through the hall, they more fully realized the true significance of the Purple and White. This College extends compliments to the Freshmen class which sponsored the party, to the committee-Gay Taylor Winkler, Mable Reynolds, Kathleen O'Connor, Wallace Jones, and William Stratford-and to Miss Lucille Owen who directed the promenade. The Faculty Reception PRESIDENT Tracy, in coordination with members of the college Faculty, formally welcomed the students of Weber and made acquaintence with its patrons at the fourth annual Faculty reception held September 25, 1926. In all respects this incipient social event of the 1926- 27 season artistically and beautifully demonstrated the classic, individual, and purposeful standards maintained by this Junior College, and served as an admirable criterion for social events to follow. President's Reception INSTITUTING an annual banquet and ball exceeding all others in beauty, simplicity, and artistry, the President's reception to the graduates will be held May 27 at the Bigelow Hotel. That the students may leave their Alma Mater with one noble last impression wherein Weber's dreams are visibly portrayed resultant in the material from courage, resourcefulness, and initiative, is the sincere desire of those under whose direction this farewell ball is given.
