JUNIOR PROM
July 1920

Twenty fraternities entertaining more than 300 guests combined to make the annual Junior Prom, held May 13-16, one of the most successful in the history of the College. After weeks of cold and rain, the elements relented sufficiently to permit the carrying out of all the scheduled outdoor events. The baseball team celebrated by hanging up victories over Columbia and Penn, while the tennis team took a fall out of Amherst by the decisive score of 5-1.

The "seventy-two hour vigil," as The Dartmouth termed it, comprised all the regular features of the annual Junior Week. Thursday night Prom got under way with the presentation of Clyde Fitch's four-act play, "The Truth," by a new but effective cast picked from the Dramatic Association. P. G. Jackson '23 and J. H. D. Zuckerman '22 had the leading roles of Tom Warder and Becky Warder. Interfraternity dances in the Little Theatre, the Trophy Room, and the upper floor of the Gymnasium completed the opening evening's festivities.

Friday's program included tea dances at the fraternity houses, a hum on the Campus, and the climax of the week-end, the Prom Ball in Alumni Gymnasium. Saturday night saw the. official close of the celebration with the Musical Clubs concert in Webster Hall. New features included a revised "Houdini" act by C. E. Newton '20, assisted by E. W. Healy '20, a dancing specialty by E. W. Embree '21, with his "Barbary Coast Five," and a musical number by a new freshman jazz trio.

The 1921 Prom Committee was made up of P. G. Sanderson, chairman, E. L. Harper, R. M. MacDonald, G. L. Reynolds and F. A. Ross, Jr.
