JUNIOR WEEK

The week of May 17 to 24 was given over to what was probably the most successful and best attended Junior Week ever held in Dartmouth College. The attractions were of a greater number than ever before and in spite of the somewhat inclement weather everything planned for was carried off successfully.

The whole of Massachusetts Hall was turned over to the girls who were on hand at the festivities, while five of the fraternities: Psi Upsilon, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, and Chi Phi, held house-parties at their respective houses.

The first event on the official program was the ball game on the Oval Wednesday, May 19, between Dartmouth and Vermont, while Psi Upsilon and Delta Kappa Epsilon held teas after the game. In the evening the comic opera, "The King of U-Kan", the music of which was written by W. H. Golde '09, and the book by R. G. Reynolds '10 and C. O. Libbey '10, was presented for the first time. It was more than well received by a large house and was an excellent performance.

Following the operetta the various fraternity dances followed at ix o'clock. The fraternities giving dances on this first night were: Psi Upsilon and Alpha Delta Phi (combined), Kappa Kappa Kappa and Phi Gamma Delta (combined), Theta Delta Chi, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Sigma Kappa, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

Thursday afternoon was given over to the second annual Society Circus. One of the largest crowds ever seen in Hanover assembled for this attraction, nearly three thousand people crowding about the big two-ringed arena. In addition to the original animals presented by each fraternity, there were on hand all sorts of acrobatic stunts by expert tumblers, and a troupe of student clowns, magicians, and all the other performances that go with a first class circus. In addition there was a "pike" of some fifteen side shows, all of which were well attended and a big financial success.

That evening the musical clubs of the College gave a concert in Webster Hall. The whole was well carried off, and the several solos, vocal and instrumental, were received with favor. Later in the evening the following fraternities gave their dances: Delta Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Phi Kappa Psi, Chi Phi, and Sigma Nu.

Friday afternoon came the Williams-Dartmouth baseball game, and in the evening followed the premier event of the week, the Prom itself. This began at 9.30 and lasted until 6 o'clock the next morning. It was given in the dining-room of College Hall, the room being beautifully decorated. Thirty-two dances were on the orders, and some one hundred and twenty-five couples were on the floor.

Saturday afternoon a third ball game followed on the Oval, when Dartmouth deieated Amherst, while that evening a remarkably successful vaudeville was given in Webster Hall by the college talent. This was the last of the festivities of the week.

The committee from the junior class which so ably handled the entire program for the week was. composed of : Chairman E. J. Shattuck of Norwood, Mass. ; J. A. Ferguson of Dorchester, Mass. ; E. R. Palmer of Paducah, Ky. ; E. S. Pratt of Brookline, Mass. ; and L. S. Wiggin of Somerville, Mass.
