Party Decorations Show Variety of Theme Ideas
Spring party decorations this weekend gave evidence of unusual variety and originality of theme.
The Chi Omegas had a movie premier at their dance Friday night. Hal Ruppenthal, college junior, acted as master of ceremonies, greeting arriving guests through a microphone. Turuois and silver stars decorated
the ballroom where Jim Gillie, college sophomore, was presented with a tin "Oscar" by with a tin "Oscar" by virtue of his resemblance to Buddy Ebson. A punch bar, covered with bamboo, was installed in special Zebra room. Clayton Harbur and his band played.
The Kappa Alpha Theta theme on Friday night was a Midsummer Night's Dream. Clyde Bysom and his band furnished background music for fairy-land decorations around the walls. A six-foot fairy outside the door welcomed guests.
The Sigma Chi's had an outdoor dance last night, extending their front porch 34 feet out into the yard to provide adequate space. Clyde Bysom and band furnished the music in a welter of spring flowers.
Spring flower themes were also used by Ricker Hall at their dance Friday night, and by the three men's residence halls—Battenfeld, Templein, and Carruth—at their dance to the music of Van Allms and the boys in the Memorial Union Ballroom last night.
Clayton Harbur played for the Phi Gam sweater and slack dance after their picnic last night.

Birthday
Ninety Years of Life
Today Alpha Delta Pi is celebrating its ninetieth year of existence. Alumna from all over this section of the country will return to Lawrence today to celebrate their sorority's birthday.

Three patronesses will be installed after the dinner. They are Mrs. Leonard Axe, Mrs. John Stutz, and Mrs. Penfield Jones, all of Lawrence.
The first chapter of Alpha Delta Pi was founded May 15, 1851 at Wesleyan Female College, Macon, Ga. It is the oldest secret society for college women in the world.
At the present time there are sixty active chapters, found in the United States and Canada. The total membership approximates 17,000. In addition to the sixty active chapters, there are 150 alumnae organizations.
For A. D. Pi
Ninety years ago Eugenia Tucker Fitzgerald called six or seven of her friends to her room at Wesleyan Female College and suggested organizing a secret society. With the permission of the college faculty the Adelphean Society was formed for the purpose of "mutual improvement" of its members. The motto, "We Live For Each Other," chosen by Eugene Tucker at the first meeting, is still the motto of the sorority.
The name Adelphean was given to the quarterly publication of the society. In 1904, the organization assumed the name of Alpha Delta Phi, later changed the Phi to Pi.
