Feminine Corsage Creations ^Cause Catastrophic Conditions By SALLIE TIMMENS After struggling through the mob of females checking and unchecking coats, the roving reporter breathed once again and looked over the dance floor and the dancers. The women on the campus obviously have an innate sense of humor and ingenuity after watching the hetrogeneous collec tion of corsages and such donned by the campus swains for the Mortar Board Ball. —_ .Despite the ceaseless drizzle SAE Jim Kolz looked charming in his Shriner-like chapeau, a white lamp shade trimmed with a red satin bow and matching streamers. Pinned on his lapel was a corsage I of red carnations. Also seen in a bonnet was Sigma Chi Bud Ros sam, squired by Chi Omega Audrey Berdine who decorated Bud’s bon net with a spray of flowers.

ATO Barney Franks, on the arm of DG Barbara Johns, locked a little discouraged wearing his calla lily and baby onion lei, tied with a huge red bow. It seems that Barney is allergic to onions. Phi Delt Tom Kay, escorted by Gamma Phi Joan Hibbs, and Ed Salstrom, with Gamma Phi Irene Moor, added a delicate spray of spring flowers to their coiffures. Upon careful examination SAE A1 Paulson’s corsage was distinguish able, if not distinguished. It con sisted of a mouse trap, complete with mouse, a tooth brush, and other serviceable little trinkets from the imagination of Gamma Phi Phyllis Holdman. Vegetable Nosegays Fiji B. G. Cox and SAE Wayne Brown carried all-purpose )nose gays of carrots, radishes, and pars ley against a paper lace back ground. When the lads got hungry they were seen on the dance floor munching at said corsages. Sigma Chi Bob Daggett added another Hawaiian touch by sporting a wrist and ankle bracelet of spring flowers. The crew cut and halo effect of Kappa Sig Art Stilwell’s flowered headdress looked strangely like something worn by so-called native Americans, and Art added to the impression by greeting friends with a significant “How!” Each corsage was an individual creation of the female mind, and these are but a few of the maty outstanding ones spotted. Some of the fellows wore theirs proudly while others ducked behind the nearest pillars to avoid recogni tion. Now the girls are well aware of the intricacies and expenses of campus dating and luckily, the gals add, the Mortar Board Ball comes but once a year.
