The much anticipated cadet ball is
now a thing of the past, and the Gt,
teenth annual party held last night by
the cadet officers of the university of
Wyoming was n of the most success
full and enjoyable functions ever givea
under the auspices of that institution.
The weather clerk, whose smiles have.
been exceedingly itful of late, vouch-
safed perfect weather for the occasion.
and the night was balmy and beautiful
when the happy throngs wendell theis
way at 8 O'Clock toward the gymnasi.
UNI, which was the scene of the festivi-
ties. Automobiles fitted hither and
yon through the starlit night like mon
ster firefies and briskly moving car,
riages also ground the gravel of the
parade ground beneath their glittering
tires. The entrance to the building
was flanked by the university cannon
and from their iron threats at 2 O'Clock
this morning went forth the message
that the music had ceased, the flying
feet r. stilled and the brilliant com,
mencement hop was over.
Elaborate Decorations.
The beautiful gymnasium assembly
room was very deliberately decorated
for the event and many opined that
the effects ~excelled those achieved ii,
any previous year. Flag day was most
appropriately recognized, both in the
programs, which were emblazoned with
"Old Glory" and in the decorations,
where national flags and bunting pre-
dominated, forming a most effective
background for the brown and yel.
low of the university, and for the gay
hues of the pennants of the various
classes. Wyoming banners were sup.
plemented everywhere by the vari-
colored %pennants of sister institutions,
but the center Of the gymnasium dome
was devoted to an imposing 1907 ban
'ner, the brown and blue Of this years
class thus occupying the position o;
honor. The balcony rail was nearly
concealed beneath the wealth of equip
ments which represented the military
and athletic department, a novel feat
ure of the display being geometrical de
signs cleverly executed in the Krag
bayonets.
Cosy Cosy Corners.
The cosy corners were the handi-
work of the frats and sororities and the
artistic effects were highly compli-
mented, the frat boys being entitled 10
especial praise as their alcoves were
executed entirely by themselves, with.
out the aid or even advice of mere
girls! Sigma Beta Phi occupied the
south balcony and there maroon and
azure reigned supreme, even the cleo,
trolier being globed in the frat tints.
Pillows and luxurious couches made
this locality a very popular one, which
even the chaperones eyed e%nviously.
In the north balcony the lovely old rose
and green Of Delta Theta Kappa shone
respondent, the fragrance of flowers
and the brilliance of their bloom con-
tributing to fascinating tropical effect.
The Belle Lettres society had it's blue
and white orner on the main floor, and
airy wicker furniture was prettily com,
bined with the delicate tints of the or,
g%anization In the northwest corner
the preparatory sorority, Alpha One,
ga, had an elaborate alcove, plants,
pillow and pennants being lavishly EN-,
ployed.
