Under ordinary conditions, these words would be consid ered unrelated. But not when they are basis for corsages for the Black Masque Ball, Friday, Dec. 15, One clever young lady whose Black Masaue date is a physics major has a novel idea for his corsage. She plans to paste van ous bottles and boxes of laxative on a little board and tie it with a colorful ribbon. Justice will be featured at the ball via a clever corsage. The corsage, which will be worn by a law student, will feature a gavel, a law book and copy of the bill of rights. One young lady plans to use the game, "charades," as a basis for her corsage. Her date's cor sage will feature an Ark, a tin can and a miniature saw. In other words, Arkansas. The rea son for this corsage her date's home state. , A candy flower garden will be worn by one of the luckier men at the dnace. He will be one of the few who will be able to eat a part of hs corsage when he is done wearing it. The corsare will consist of five suckers surrounded by Chore Boy. These Items are tied to gether with a green ribbon and the result is a very colorful corsage. One girl wanted to give her date a corsage of live goldfish swimming around in a bowl. She said, "I have all the equip ment, including the goldfish, but I can't get the fish bowl to hang on a board or a ribbon." She added that she might aban don the idea in favor of giving her date the corsage he gave her for the Military ball. CITSS)JS Dr. F. D. Keim To Speak At Tri-K Meeting Tonight Dr. Franklin D.

One girl is planning to weigh her date down with a bowling ball on which a face will be drawn. Her date is an avid bowling fan, but the weight of the corsage may lessen hU en thusiasm for the sport. One coed whose talents extend into the sewing line made two miniature dolls. One doll is dressed in a formal similar to the girl's formal and the other doll Is attired in a tux. The girl said that "even though the dolls were awfully hard to make, they were worth It."
