After an interval of two years, junior prom was re-established among Dartmouth's leading social functions the weekend of May 24. Practically all fraternities held house parties and more than 200 guests were entertained in Hanover, with baseball games, tennis matches, a Dramatic Association production, a musical clubs concert, and all manner of dances.
The festivities commenced Thursday evening, May 22, with the presentation of "Oh, Doctor!", the Janssen-Markey-Groves musical comedy, by an all-star cast. H. E. Maroney '19, in the leading role of Lieutenant Brown, and R. P. Bird '21 as Mrs. Spiffington, the 200 pound fox-trot enthusiast, were acclaimed the hits of the evening. Friday afternoon the varsity nine went down to defeat at the hands of Boston College, but on Saturday a baseball victory over Penn and a tennis team win from M. I. T. made up for the unfavorable start in Prom athletics.
The Prom ball Friday evening came as the natural climax of the week-end. Decorations surpassed those of previous functions in extravagance and brilliance, and Earl Fuller's jazz orchestra furnished a particularly lively brand of music. The glee and mandolin clubs brought Prom to its official close with a concert in Webster Hall Saturday evening.
