JUNIOR "PROM."
One of tho happiest local events in Uni
versity circles this year, was hold at tho Lin
coln hotel Thursday evening of Charter
week, when tho Juniors and their friends,
about seventy couples in all, met to enjoy
tho annual Junior promenade.
The young folks claimed the freedom of
the entire second floor, and they pretty
nearly filled it. The west dining hall, deco
rated with various fraternity and society em
blems, made a very pleasant room for danc
ing, while the Stato Band Orchestra furn
ished such music ns makes the lover of tho
dance happy.
It was nearly nine o'clock when tho grand
march was begun. It was led by the Chan,
collor and Mrs. Morrill, followed by tho
patrons and members of the faculty.
Only onco are you a junior, and only once
in that year do you indulge in a promenade,
a fact which each individual present seemed
to appreciate that night.
It was one of tho jolliest affairs evor
known in tho history of tho University, and '
when the party broke up there seemed to be
a paucity of adjectives in the English lang
uage to express everybody's opinion of it.
all joined in a grand march, after which
amusements of various kinds wore taken up.
Tho committee on entertainment did their
part so well that tho evening was enjoyed by
all. But it was Saturday night, and
promptly at twelve o'clock the lights woro
turned out, abruptly ending the pleasures of
the evening. And so onco more the dissi
pations of the Charter Day season are over.
