Show STELLA MOURITSEN - QUEEN OF ACORN BALL The Acorn Hall NEVER in the history of Weber has there been a more enchantingly beautiful and artistic affair than was the Acorn Ball of 1925. The Weber Gymnasium was gorgeously decorated to interpret the Spirit of Christmas and the New Year. Lighting effects in the ball room were produced by myriads of multi-colored lights from Christmas trees, Yule wreaths, red and green spotlights, and immense stars. A dark blue star-sprinkled canopy covered the magnificent queen's throne. Christmas carols sung by merry revelers added to the spirit of Christmas which pervaded the hall until ten o'clock when the Queen of the New Year, guided by the Spirit of 1926, advanced in a flood of white light to her throne where Father Time waited to acknowledge her reign. With the ushering in of the New Year red and green lighting effects gave way to white. As court entertainers the Boys' Glee Club and Miss Katherine Shufflebarger interpreted the New Year spirit. Miss Stella Mouritsen was the Queen of the Acorn Ball and Elmer Nielsen, Father Time. Under the leadership of Miss Marian Read, faculty advisor, members of the Acorn Staff comprised the committee and directed the activities. |
