The class Of 1902 of the university more
than fulfilled its promise for last evening
and its senior promenade will be remembered
as one of the brilliant functions of the uni
versity. The senior promenade IS always a
pretty party for the y throngs of happy
hearted young people give it a charm not
found in any but a college affair. But last
evening the decorations and appointments
were so beautiful that they called forth eX-

on the floor and from the groups in the bal

ever-changing picture below. a.
Everything was in green and white, excel
lent colors for a warm June evening, ana
The great arnory looked cool and inviting.
From the rafters green and white bunting
was stretched in soft folds and the balcony
was festooned with the drapery which was
continued around the walls and caught at
regular intervals in baldachins. Streamers
of white and green futtered from the cleo
trio fans and the stage hung with bunt-
ing In the center of the ballroom was
large fountain which sent a stream or ceol
water high into the air to fall with a musical
splash on the palms and ferns beneath From
above innumerable incandescent lights trans
formed the drops into jewels which hasned
and sparkled as they fell. In the corners
stood tall white pedestals on which palm
trees lifted their broad leaves high above
the dancers, and the stage was tangle OIL
palms ana ferns and trailing vines.
The recepton-room was arranged as a
palm garden and there the lights were
shaded in pink and red, making subdued
glow in striking contrast to the brllllancy

viting divans added to the attractive effect.
Fir trees that filled the air with their spicy,
pungent breath, palms and ferns were
grouped about the corners where the dancers
found retreat from the gay throng. The
south wing, where supper was served, was
an improvised garden with its palm trees
and green and white draperies. Carnations
and ferns were on the small tables from
which 400 guests were served.
