[hand drawing] "Take Five!" You have a date with that special fellow you've been hoping would call, a new dress is hanging in the closet all freshly pressed for the special night, and you're in a gay whirl anticipating the week end of the dance. Social life has been substituted for awhile, as your books are piled high on your desk with dreams of stardust and moonlight replacing those of the elements of the compound sodium chloride. Central Party Committee plans at least five parties each year for the University, while housing units and various campus groups sponsor their own dances. Decorations transform the Main Lounge of the Iowa Memorial Union into a smooth ballroom. Homecoming is one of the first anticipated weekends of the year. The big weekend includes the parade with floats from each housing unit, the pep rally the night before the gamel, the game itself, the burning of the corn monument to signify a hoped-for victory, and the Dolphin Fraternity swimming extravaganza with the presentation of their queen. The Homecoming Dance on Saturday night culminates the festivities. The newly-elected Miss SUI reigns at Fall Party. The all-University Winter Formal is held prior to the Christmas holidays. In February the Union takes on a French note when the Club Cabaret is presented. The women tag their men to take to Spinster's Spree in the spring. Currier Hall's Winter Formal and Spring Formal highlight the social calendar for you in Currier. Caps Caprice is presented by Westlawn, the student nurses' residence, while the Quadrangle and Hillcrest, men's dormitories, each sponsor their formals. 14
