UNION DANCE LAST NIGHT

The 1906 Union dance, held in the Union last evening, was a brilliant success. There were about 550 people present, and the fact that more than half, the members of the Junior class were among these, proved that the dance had accomplished its purpose--to bring the men in the class together.

The Union proved an ideal place for the dance. The Lobby was hung with laurel ropes, beneath, which stood many potted palms. Set off by these were two boxes, tastefully decorated with cushions. The remaining thirteen boxes were in the Writing Room, which was colored with red, lights, the Periodical Room, which was hung with Japanese lanterns, and the Game Room, the dim light of which set off many brilliantly colored cushions. In the Library, whist tables were placed. The Living Room, where the dancing took place, was entirely free from decoration, save for a few large palms and a large crimson banner, which hung over the east fire-place. In the balcony opposite, the orchestra, was seated.

There were twenty-four dances and six extras. Dancing began promptly at 9 o'clock and continued until shortly after 4. A buffet supper was served from the Dining Room after the thirteenth dance between 12 and 1 o'clock.

Much credit is due to the following committee, which had charge of the dance: R. Grant, Jr., chairman, J. V. Dignowity, D. H. Howe, N. Kelley, J. M. Montgomery, Jr., D. A. Newhall, J. D. Nichols, S. D. Preston, B. K. Stephenson, C. E. Ware, Jr., and J. L. White.
