*At the Deanery Dance
Music Supplied by Jerry Doner
Overwhelming But Excellent
Jammed with one hundred and
‘eighty people, and echoing with Jerry
Doner’s wonderful if rather over-
whelming . orchestra, the Deanery
dance after the play last Saturday
night was most successful. The dan-
cers waltzed or what-have-youed in
and .out of three rooms. which had
been cleared for action. The square
hall was the most jammed what with
the orchestra taking up one large cor-
ner and a big “doe” line milling
around the dining room. The library
up the little stairs (we watched all
evening hopefully but no one did a
Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers up them)
was'a haven for battered souls, rela-
tively cool and quiet after the hall.
The dining room proved a rather dan-
gerous spot because some ambitious
person had. given his alk to the wax-
ing, but it’ had the attraction of food
and punch. Mr. and Mrs. Lattimore,
Mr. and Mrs. Patterson, Esther Har-
denbergh, and Virginia Baker re-
ceived, and every one seemed happy
including the Dance Committee. The
dance was financially a success also.

ROAST PIG FOR ROCK PARTY
Plans for the hall Christmas parties
are-slowly getting under way, varying
greatly from hall to hall. Rockefel-
ler’s plans, under the directorship, of
Huldah— Cheek, ’°38, are the most
elaborate, the motif being the Feudal
Era. The dining room will be decor-
ated in the manner of a mediaeval
castle complete with yule log, coats-of-
arms and tapestries. The knights and
ladies in the pageant will be seated
about a long table on which there
will be as the piéce de resistance a
roast suckling pig. Musie will add to
the festive atmosphere. The pictorial
quality of the theme will be stressed.
The freshman class is in charge of
the festivities in Merion and as yet
have no definite plans. Dorothea
Wilder, ’87, and Queenie Huebner, ’37,
presidents of Pembroke West and
East, respectively, are planning their
halls’ entertainment, which will con-
sist of a dinner and skits by the fresh-
man class.

MR. FENWICK STIFLES
IN SOUTH SEA HEAT
En route to Rio
November. 17.
Dear College News:
Lest any one of the student body
should be thinking of retiring to the
South Seas off the Brazilian coast at
the end of her four years of hard
work, I want to say that it is as hot
and humid down here at this season
as it is at the College Inn in mid-
summer. Why didn’t some one tell
me.to. bring along--one. of those. white
linen dinner coats, though even they
seem to wilt in the sub-tropical heat
of the dining room?
We have~a number of other dele-
gations on ‘board and I have made
friends with the Mexican, Haitian,
Nicaraguan and Salvadorean repre-
sentatives and find them very pleas-
ant company—or rather, I wish that
I had time to enjoy their company,
for I have simply been too busy thus
far to do more than put in an appear-
ance on deck and then disappear again
to my cabin. If it isn’t a committee
meeting it’s a sub-committee meet-
ing, and when it’s neither, then it’s
a pile of documents to be read set-
ting forth what the twenty other
delegations think should be put on
the agenda of the conference, or what
they think should be left off.
We sighted the coast of Brazil yes-
terday and are due at Rio on Thurs-
day morning. I know you are going
to envy. me. the two days we are. to
spend there, with the Brazilian For-
eign Office as our hosts at dinner the
first evening and the most beautiful
harbor in the world lying at our feet
next morning—and a day off from
work!
This is just a line—in the hope that
you will recognize me when I come
back. I’ll send you news from Buenos
Aires when we get there.
C. G. FENWICK.
