300 View Home Ec
Parade of Fashions
Bright lights, soft music and
the atmosphere of a professional
show was created Thursday eve
ning at the Home Economics club's
annual spring style show. A crowd
of 300 watched the parade of fash
ions. Based upon the old nursery
rhyme, "Which Child Are You?"
costumes modeled were appro
priate for school, dress, work or
play on each of the seven days
of the week. This unusual theme
was patterned after the one pre
sented in the February 194!) is
sue of "Harper's Bazaar."
CLOTHES SHOWN represented
the "cream of the crop" of last
semester's beginning and advanced
clothing classes. The purpose of
the affair was to give fashion
merchandising students experience
in presenting a style show.
Several of the costumes were
designed by the wearers them
selves, members of classes in
draping and flat pattern design.
Outstanding in the field of origi
nal design was Dorothy Peder
sen's chartreuse wool dress
trimmed with forest green buttons
6nd piping.
A dress of pecan tan wool
created by Marilyn Boettger also
illustrated an ingenious fashion
Idea in its satin roll-over collar
and cuffs of the same color.
SPECTATORS were startled and
amused when Barbara Keith ap
peared modeling a muslin basic
pattern dress, the first step in or
iginal designing. A two-piece wool
and silk print combination made
by Barbara Turk featured un
usual detail and an exciting con
trast of textures.
Also exhibited were examples
of work done in beginning cloth
ing classes. Mary Lou Beran's
dress of irrideseent chambray with
bronze buttons, belt and shoes
made the winter-weary audience
more anxious than ever for the
warm days of spring.
An aqua suit dress, the first
clothing project of freshman De
lores Bauer, was evidence that "it
can be done." Joan Maine, also
a beginning clothing student, mod
eled her one-piece dress of brown
gabardine styled to appear as a
jacket-skirt combination.
CMMAXING the style show
and the theme of the busy college
whirl was Lois Thorfinnson
Mickle in her white satin wedding
rlress. Lois designed the dress to
wear when she marched down the
aisle last December.
Commentators for the evening
were Chuck Oehrle, Warren Hin
richs and Jo Moss. Miss Marry
Hosier was the faculty sponsor.
Accessories worn in the style
show were made available by Ma
gee's and Ben Simon's.

Colleges Plan
Foreign Study
In Junior Year
Representatives from 64 Amer
ican colleges and universities re
cently attended a meeting in
New York City in connection with
the Junior Year Abroad move
ment. The plan allows American un
dergraduates to spend their jun
ior year in special study abroad
without the loss of credit. It
gives students the opportunity to
live in another country, acquire
fluency in the language and un
derstand the culture of another
people.
Representatives of participating
countries, including France, Switz
erland and Italy, expressed their
pleasure with the program and
hoped that more students in col
leges in the United States would
be encouraged to participate.
Reports from colleges now
sending students to study abroad
showed that a number of stu
dents are already participating in
the plan. Smith College for in
stance now has 67 out of a total
Junior class of 500 studying
abroad.
A number of scholarship plans
are being made. A representative
from France announced that the
French government is now ready
to give scholarships to one stu
dent from each participating
group going to that country. A
number of American colleges are
also providing scholarships for de
serving students.
