Show Prom Wekk A new subject began to stir the hearts of tremulous coeds. Prom week was approaching, and the biggest social function of the year was foremost in the minds of 1,500 fluttering lassies and a few of the wealthier male element of the student body. Open house was held, and the college cit'zenry-barbs, sorors and fraters alike-turned out en masse for the free entertainment. Finally, the Prom, on January 24, and twelve hundred students were in attendance at the Hotel Utah. Dazzling, modernistic in decoration, the Prom was the climax of colleg'ate social life for the season, and even the intrusion of certain private detectives, under the anxious auspices of University powers, failed to quell the ardor with which it was received by the studes. Dick Cosgrove was in charge, and a central committee including Dorothy Hogan, Miriam Whipple, Stewart Wright, Pratt Clark, Isabel Barton, Ruth Smith, Virginia Otter-strom, Myrthen Elliott, Betty Crawford and Elbert Stevenson had a lot to do with its success. Patrons of the affair included such notables as Governor and Mrs. George H. Dern, Mayor and Mrs. John F. Bowman, and President and Mrs. George Thomas. Honor guests from the Utah State Agricultural College and B. Y. U. were also in attendance. Page 31 |
