By HELEN SHANK Now that Hallowe ’en with its orange and black, its pumpkins and witches, and its attendant spirit of mischief has passed, all attention is being centered on plans for the Thanksgiving season, and even the Christmas theme has found a place in decorations for some of the af fairs of the week. Foremost among the 'events for the coming week is the Sophomore Informal, which has been arousing a great deal of ex pectation and enthusiasm, especially as the motif for the dance has been kept a secret to all except members of the class. On Friday night the class parties proved the chief source of diversion for pleasure-seeking students. The biggest and be'st freshman class frolicked at the Woman’s building, assisted at intervals by various members of the other three classes. The sophomores held sway at the Eugene hotel, the juniors at the Campa Shoppe, and the seniors ap peared in rompers and ginghams at the Osburn hotel. Members of Alpha Gamma Delta entertained on Friday at 12:30 with a luneheon at their chapter house in honor of the birthday of their housemother, Mrs. Abby Marsh. Places were set for twenty-four, the guests including housemothers and patronesses. The centerpiece was a huge pumpkin overflowing with autumn fruits jind nuts and trailing sprays of green. During the meal a musical pro gram was given, consisting of a violin solo by Dorothy "Villiger, a vocal solo by Margaret Fasching, and several selections by a trio composed of Dorthy Villiger, Mar garet Fasching and Elizabeth Schaub. * * * Mrs. Beatrice FitzSimmons, re tiring housemother of Delta Delta Delta sorority, was honored by a tea on Wednesday afternoon from three to five given by members of the sorority at the chapter house. Housemothers and personal friends of Mrs. FitzSimmons were guests. During the afternoon Emily Wil liams played several numbers on the harp. On Saturday afternoon the other housemothers of the campus enter tained Mrs. FitzSimmons with -p, farewell luncheon at the Eugene hotel at 12:30. Her successor in the position of housemother of Delta Delta Delta will -be Mrs. E. B. Chandler of Portland. # # * At a dinner at the Alpha Xi Delta house on Friday night Kathryne Freitag announced her engagement to Dale Ickes, a senior in the School of Physical Education, who is a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. In the center of the table was a tiny cedar chest surrounded by sprays of smilax and red carnations. Red rib bons at each place were attached to tiny hearts hidden in the chest, each bearing the two names. The place cards were little paper bouquets combining the flowers of the two fraternities. On Friday night at dinner at the Sigma Phi Epsilon house three en gagements were announced In ad dition to that of Dale Iekes to Kathryne Freitag, Eugene Richmond declared his engagement to Fay Cooley, a Eugene girl, and Gilbert Hermance to Jeanette Sheets, who is a sophomore at Susan Campbell hall. All three men are seniors in the house.

The only means of entrance into the clubhouse was by a slide in the doorway, and the rooms were dec orated with orange and black streamers, jack o’lanterns and bales of hay. Refreshments consisted of cider with doughnuts made in the shape of the Greek letters, Sigma and Chi.

As the guests entered the door they faced a box office where they were given tickets for admission. On entering, they were taken to the clonk rooms by two ushers in black and white Pierrot and Pierette cos tumes.

Patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Scott and Captain and Mrs. Frank L. Culin Jr. • * * ! ! The pre-Chrietmas spirit made a rather surprising but pleasing ad vance .appearance in the scheme of things at the informal dance given by members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon on Saturday night at the Osburn hotel. Two beautifully decorated Christmas trees on either side of a huge fireplace, besides mistletoe, tin sel and snow, lent a truly Tuletide atmosphere to the rooms. Santa Claus in a veritable Christmas fash ion came down the chimney and distributed horns among the crowd, and then two boys in costume por trayed the going of the old year and the coming of the new. During the supper Ted O’Hara sang several popular songs and Sharkey Moore gave some violin selections. The affair was entitled “If Winter Comes,” and this idea was carried out by the titles of each dance, and by signs hung about the' robin. Chaperones were Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, Dean and Mrs. H. D. Sheldon, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Ford, Mr. and Mrs. Blair Alderman. On Saturday night at the chapter house pledges of Lambda Psi were honored with an informal dance.
