Orange and yellow will form the central theme of a geometric pattern on the cciling. Radiating from this will be broad bands of black, white, orange and v yellow. Alternating between the bands are deep fringes of the same colors, hanging low over the heads of the dancers. The five great lights illuminating the scene are to be covered with dccosheen, and shimmering fringed streamers of the same material bend from them. Heavily fringed bands of the predominating colors line the walls. Wide white streamers are to be liberally, mixed throughout the entire scheme of black, orange, ^and yellow, thus softening their brilliant appearance. On a raised platform in the rca- of the hall, the Tarheel orchestra of the University of North Carolina will be in front of a dccosheen curtain of the fou^ colors. The dance will open promptly at 10:30 with the grand march led by Miss Sarah Quattlebaum, president of the club, and her date, Douglas Jones. As was the case at the Pan Hellenic dance, no pne will be admitted to the hall after 10:30. Among the alumnae present at the Damas are expected to be: Misses Julia and Rosalyn Quattlebaum, Hattie Scarborough, Mildred Hartness, Nancy Pate, Mary Aldrich Wyman, Thelma Smith, and Helen Capers. ' , Other officers of the club are Julia Aull, secretary; and Elizabeth Belser, treasurer. u. s. c.
