SOCIETY By ESTHER FELL The spring weather is beginning to show results in the many hikes and picnics which are now in vogue, and by matinee dances during the sunny afternoons. Mid-week affairs have consisted chiefly of exchange dinners among the fraternity houses. Theta Sigma Phi entertained a group of girls for an evening of literary enjoyment during the week also. The more formal dances have had their share of time with the annual “Frosh Glee”, the largest of the week-end. The armory was decorat ed with great success with a huge life-like spider suspended from the ceiling, the web extending out to ward the side walls,, forming a canopy over the merrymakers. Tin sel on the side walls helped to carry out the unique web idea. Patrons and patronesses for the evening are President and Mrs. P. L. Campbell, Dean and Mrs. John Straub, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Dixon, Mrs. M. H. Jewett, Miss Gertrude Talbot, Mrs. 0. F Stafford, Captain and Mrs. R. C. Baird, Dr. and Mrs. E. H. Sawyer, Professor and Mrs. F. S. Dunn, Mr. and Mrs. G. T.
