Society rnAtjLMm* By HELEN SHANK .The never failing spontaneity and originality displayed in campus frolics of various kinds is an un ceasing source of rvonder and sur prise to everyone. Each affair sur passes the preceding one in clever ness and enjoyment, and a new standard of perfection is reached with each passing week. The outstanding event of the ■whole year was the annual Senior Ball, a strictly formal affair, which was sponsored by the class of 1927 and was given at the Woman’s building on Saturday night. A very modern atmosphere prevailed, which was typified both in the decorations and in the feature. A color scheme of black and white predominated, brightened with splashes of color in the chandeliers, the orchestra box and the stage curtain. Alternate squares of black and white covered the walls, topped with long black and white streamers reaching to the center of the ceiling, from which ' hung a cluster of brightly painted cylindrical shades. Any possible monotony was broken by clever sketches and silhouettes, all in black and white. Enclosed in each program was a tiny painted handkerchief as -a souvenir. Supper was served in the sun room during the evening. The College Knights orchestra from the Campa Shoppe furnished the music, and the feature of the evening was , in keeping with the spirit of the evening, modern. From a darkened stage issued two voices singing one ; of the latest popular songs, and a flash of light revealed Madge Nor mile and Ted O’Hara, who gave a number of the newest numbers, ac companied by Billy O’Bryant at the piano. The last song was sharply interrupted by sudden darkness, the loud report of a pistol, a woman’s scream and a dull thud, and ended with a ghostly skeleton dance by three sheeted figures, to the tune of a funeral march. Patrons and patronesses for the occasion included Governor and Mrs. Isaac L. Patterson, President and Mrs. Arnold Bon nett Hall, Dean Vir ginia Judy Esterly, Dean and Mrs. John Straub, Dean and Mrs. H. D. Walker, Prof, and ’Mrs. W. F. G. Thacher, Dr. and Mrs. John F. Bo vard, Prof, and Mrs. E. E. DeCou, Dr. and Mrs. J. Hi Gilbert, Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Gerlinger, and Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Lawrence. The general chairman in charge of the ball was Edgar Wrightman, and Eolf Klep had charge of the decorations. * * * One of the most attractive and entertaining affairs of the season was the formal dance for which members of Delta Tau Delta were hosts at their chapter house on Fri day night. The scene was that of a New York night club, and the rooms were completely transformed to carry out the effect. The guests entered by a long walk covered with an awning, and were admitted by a tiny doorman in a black and white Pierrot costume. Lafge blue and white checker squares formed the walls, broken at intervals by color ful sketches of modern young peo ple in ultra-modern poses. Brilliant colored arches divided the rooms and formed an attractive setting for the Chestnut Colonels orchestra, which furnished the music. On one wall was a large lighted reproduc tion of the fraternity pin, and at the opposite end of the room was a little stage peopled by a group of French dolls in a garden setting. A feature between each dance lent a heightened night club atmosphere. The performers included Miss Sonia Black, Miss Marie Gribbling and Lines o’ Type Mr. House Manager Many times you need to have a little printing job done - - house stationery, ; grade cards - - programs and the like.

Patrons and patronesses were Mr. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Benefiel. The Valentine motif again fur nished the inspiration for decora tion at the formal dance given by Hendricks hall on Friday night at the Woman’s building. A large balcony in black and white had been erected at one side with a charming tableau of Pierrette being serenaded by Pierrot with his mandolin. Red hearts and streamers from the ceil ing gave a dash of brightness, en hanced by soft light from tall floor lamps, and in the corners were small tables with pots of red tulips. White leather .programs told the order of dances, and Ed Cheney en tertained with a soft shoe dance. * * * Beta Theta Pi entertained with another of its enjoyable informal dances at the chapter house on Fri day night. Indirect lighting and shaded globes gave the proper de gree of brightness, and a bordered frieze on the wall bearing the fan tastic figures of old dragons in bright colors made an interesting background.

Romig. * * * Freshmen of Alpha Chi Omega honored their sophomores with an informal supper dance at the chap ter house last night.

Bright col ored Japanese parasols, mandarin coats and panels and coolie cats adorned the walls, and covering the fireplace was a painted screen de picting a lovely Japanese landscape. The dining room represented a Jap anese shrine, made real with a huge Buddha with tall candles on either side. Supper was served on the sec ond floor which was decorated like an Oriental tea room. Patrons and patronesses for the dance included Mrs. L. Woodring, Mrs. Jeanette G. Lange, Mrs. Abby Z. Marsh, Mrs. Henry Augustine, and Mr. and Mrs. Nowland B.

The setting was , that of a cefeteria lunchroom, and j on the walls was a collection of signs which were take-offs on those which commonly appear in restaur jants. The men were presented with tall white chef caps, and the girls, jwho wore black dresses, were given j little maids’ caps and tiny starched aprons. The music was furnished by Burton's Co-ed Harmonizers. Chaperons were Mrs. L. E. Bean land Mrs. J. W. Kays.
