The University Ciub was the scene
of the annual Sophomore dance Tues-
day evening. So ciose on the heels of
final examinations, the attendance was
rather smali, but this condition was
as ideal one, as the fioor was never too
crowded. Multi-colored giobes had
been put into the drop lights overhead,
so that the effect of the light coming
through the shade was of complex and
varied hues.
Charlie Dixon's orchestra furnished
music for the six dances and two ex-
tras, which were scored on quite at-
tractively fashioned programs. On the
front was the head of Slime Prexy,
president, dressed in the infant fash-
ion as when he led the grand march
at the Freshman dance—socks and
baby dress and cap, carrying a stick
of red candy. The Sophs were quite
proud of the model they had drapped.
The art work was done by Miss Mar-
garet Brisbine of the department of
art.
The grand march was )ed by Mr. W.
H. Winn, president of the class of '23,
and Miss Laura Breed. Programs were
issued at the termination of this for-
mality.
