Show AH I THE MILITARY PROMENADE ?The color of a great city glows and flashes with a deeper brilliance after sunset-with the coming of the dark the theatres, the restaurants, the night clubs, the hotels all come to life; but bigger and better than all the 1934 Military Prom brought a new zest to the University, touched up its tinsel and injected into it an almost feverish gaiety on the evening of April 20. For the first time in years, the Military Ball has equalled the Junior Prom in class and uniqueness. ? The decorations were of a most original pattern design. A military idea was carried to the minutest detail. The orchestra pit was cleverly arranged as a miniature fort with small lighted windows and doors and with flags waving from towers. The indirect lighting was covered by shields on which were medieval coats of arms. ? During the intermission the drill team, commanded by Cadet Captain Arthur Newton, gave an excellent performance of fancy drill on the main ballroom floor. ? Following the election of Miss Betty Hunter as Military Queen, the grand march was led by Governor and Mrs. Henry H. Blood and Mayor and Mrs. Louis Marcus. The favors were dainty black and silver powder boxes with the regimental insignia on the cover. ? Cadet Colonel Blaine B. Campbell acted as general chairman of the affair and was assisted by Cadet Captain Richard L. Brown, chairman of the favor committee; Cadet Captain Paul Badger, chairman of the decorations committee; and Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Harold Greene, chairman of the floor committee. Blaine B.
