The Juuior Hop

The boys of '92, having the preparations for the Junior Hop in charge, early resolved to make the Hop this year the most successful ever held and they succeeded most admirably. Not only were the preparations more elabórate, but everything was more carefully arranged and systematically carried out than heretofore. The Hop is given by the juniors in the nine leading fraternities. The fraternities are as follows, Chi Psi, Alpha Delta Phi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Phi, Zeta Psi, Psi Upsilon, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Kappa Psi and Delta Tau Delta. The committee having the preparations in charge was composed of the following: G. G. Prentis, general chairman; W. M. Johnstone, G. M. Wisner, G. J. Bunday, H. T. Smith, committee on invitation; A. D. Rathbone, H. C. Bulkley, H. O. Statler, W. C. Tichenor, W. B. Larrabee, D. R. Anthony, Jr., H. E. Candler, committee on arrangements; J. Van Inwagen, C. C. Warren, D. C. Morgan, D. W. McMorran, C. C. Warden, reception committee. The decorations of the Rink surpassed anything of the kind ever attempted here. The work of iecorating was in charge of i Detroit firm. The background on the walls was a dark red, relieved by frequent groups of fraternity emblems, and flags. The overhead decorations were the finest, yellow and blue being the prevailing colors. While the aesthetic taste displayed in the use of some of the colors was not very good, the general appearance of the room was quite pleasing. The south end was set apart for refreshment booths and the spectator's pace occupied a part of the east side. Potted plants in different portions of the Rink added greatly to the appearance of the room. Gibson's art parlors were used as reception rooms and a covered passage admitted the guests to the Rink. The grand march started shortly after 10 o'clock and was led by Mr. James Van Inwagen, Jr. and Miss Bertha Baker, of Toledo. The music for the evening was furnished by Schremser's Society Orchestra, of Detroit. One orchestra furnished the music for the dances, the other for the promenaders. This was an innovation that added much to the pleasure of the ing, the music throughout delighting everybody. There were on the programs 24 regular dances, 12 extras and 4 extra extras. The regular dances were as follows: Waltz "Santiago" Corbin Polka "Pretty Gypsy" Wiegand Galop "On The Go" Welngarten Schottisehe "McGinty" Flynn Waltz "Sweet Dre&m" Eilenberg Polka "Little Gretto" Tobain Galop "Electric Sparks" Weingarten Waltz "ViBions of Love" .Schremser Sehottische " AmericanLadies" . - - Weigand Polka "Rush" Fancher Galop "On the Minute". ...Wohanka Waltz "Mald Marian" Keece INTERMISSION.

Hiey were of the customary form, vith chamois-skin covers, embossed vith a finely designed U. of M. nonogram in college colors. There were present about 350 juests and 100 spectators. So large i number crowded the Rink very tnuch. This was the only unpleasint feature about the Hop. The number of guests from out of town was unusually large. A gentleman who has attended every Junior Hop in the past ten years, remarked that the dancing and the costumes were the finest he had ever witnessed here. The chaperones were Mrs. J. B. Angelí, Mrs. James Van Inwagen, of Chicago, Mrs. J. C: Rolfe, Mrs. A. E. Warden, Mrs. J. H. Wade, Mrs. Maxwell, of Cincinnati, Mrs. Geo. H. Prentis, of Detroit. The booth for the chaperones occupied the northwest corner of the room. It was tastefully furnished, and decorated with yellow and blue, and was the center of attraction throughout the
