The twelfth annual Junior Promenade was held May 25-28. The festivities began Wednesday afternoon, May 25 with a baseball game with Williams. That evening the Prom show, “The Pea Green Earl,” was given at Webster Hall. Fraternity dances followed. The next afternoon came the Hippodrome at Alumni Oval. A concert by the musical clubs was given that evening, followed by fraternity dances. Friday night the Promenade was held in College Hall, and with the last dance early Saturday morning, the festivities came to a close.
"The Pea Green Earl,” the Prom operetta, is the work of L. S. Wiggin TO and E. R. Palmer TO. The plot was outlined in last month’s Magazine. S. P. Tuck '13, in the role of the Earl, was a delightful actor. A. C. Keough T1 as Jack Martin, and J. R. Erwin as the Earl’s son made big hits, also. The music was delightful. C. A. Pfau ’13, as the Earl’s daughter, scored several song hits.
The musical clubs’ concert Thursday evening was a decided success. Both the glee club and the mandolin club ren- dered excellent performances in their first appearance of the year in Hanover.
Although the feature of the Hippo- drome, an aeroplane ascent, was impos- sible, the affair was well attended. The aeroplane was wrecked two days before in a trial trip. The festivities were opened by Colonel Theodore R. returned from his African travels. The frater- nity contest was won by Psi Upsilon with “Tableaux Vivants.” Clowns, side- shows, and circus performers kept up a constant and to some an interesting per- formance.
Prom ended with the dance Friday night. The dining room of College Hall was prettily decorated with green and white. The outside of College Hall, as were the fraternity houses, v/as lighted up each evening of the function with Japanese lanterns. The Dartmouth Hall row, as usual, was lighted for the occa- sion. The Prom was an unusual success, the uncertain weather marring but little the festivities.
