Thursday, February 13, 1947 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Page 5 Valentine' sDay Brings Beauty Queens'To You BY MARILYN DENISON. Valentine's Day, to most Amer icans, means a time of happy an ticipation. Candy, flowers or sen timental cards from the "certain someone" in your heart are the traditional things to receive. Usually these expressions of sentimentality are bedecked with the customary red and white colors of Valentine's Day. These are supposedly the colors of love, Sometimes humorous greetings are sent to friends, but the sender usually remains anonymous. After seeing some cards of this type, it seems to me that is the only sensible thing to do. Origin. The origin of Valentine's Day, as we celebrate it, is unknown, It somehow started long ago, be cause a martyr, called St. Valen tine, was beheaded on Feb. 14, 270 A. D., on the eve of the Ro man festival of the Lupercalia. Much later in the Christian era, sentiments and those persons to .whom they were directed were known as Valentines. Sources claim, however, that the sending of love tokens has no connection with the saint. . Last Chance. If just by chance any of you men awake with a start in your Thurs day classes suddenly remember ing that you have not decided what to get your best girl, relax with the comforting thought that it still is not too late to ask her to the Valentine Tea dance. It will be held in the Union ballroom from 3 p. m. until 6 p. m. Friday The feature attraction will be the presentation of the univer sity's 1947 beauty queens. You will dance, too, to the music of Dave Haun and his orchestra. The idea of the party is sure to meet with your girl's approval. Besides, she will know that you really haven't forgotten her.
