YWCA To Hold Lantern Parade
Following a 33-year-old tradition, the YWCA Lantern parade will be held at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 27. Members will meet in the Union ballroom before parading to the chancellor's home. They will serenade the Chancellor and Mrs. Murphy and will present Mrs. Murphy with a bouquet, according to custom. The Murphys have invited the group for coffee and doughnuts after the senade.
Revived in 1949 after being discontinued during the war, the Lantern parade was originated in 1918 by a group of upper-class women from the WSGA and YWCA gathered on the hill for a Fun-Fest.
After the party they paraded around the campus with lighted lanterns, ending with a serenade at Chancellor Frank Strong's home. Although the custom was first intended as an orientation activity to acquaint freshmen with upper-class women and the campus, it has become traditional for all women to participate.
