class at a Junior Prom" Usually this
gay event is staged in early spring
and stands in the first rank of gay
social activities. This year, the junior
class decided to change the old order
of things, and consequently the enter

elaborate dinner dance which took
place Monday evening in the college

gether with their untiring work,
changed the dining hall into a verit-
able palace. The spacious room WIS
divided by partition, c1everly fash
stoned of strips of green and pink
crepe paper, in the center of which an
artistic arch was cut. The front
part of the building, therefore served
as reception and ball room, while

was served in several courses, and the

event one of the most elaborate in the
history of the college. The guests in
