Festivities began with an offcampus party given Friday night by the seniors. Decorations for the island dance itself Saturday night had begun on Wednesday and we all welcomed the Friday night celebra tion with relief. But Saturday night was the big affairl The entire outside of the house looked like something out of Robin son Crusoe with a swinging vine over one lagoon and a bridge over another. A sparkling stream ran between the two goldfish-filled bodies of water. A waterfall from the top of the front roof provided the source for this river. Brothers and their dates entered the house by swinging over the first lagoon on the vine, crossing over the second lagoon on the small bridge that went under the waterfall, and then following a jumgle path which led to the basement and another romantic lag oon surrounded by dense, green fol1 age. Outside the house on the back porch, the rockinest, swinginest group this side of the Fiji Islands, the Nightcrawlers from Louisville, were,playing under a 1eaf-thatched roof. Our own Deltas provided singing entertainment at inter mission. A log-ladder went up past another waterfal1 to a more cozy spot--a sandy, secluded beach on the chapter room roof. The luau consisted of barbecued chicken, baked potato, salad, fresh pineapple, and a special island tea. The clever favors given to dates were beach bags which unfolded into actual woven-grass mats to which were attached inflatable pillows. All the credit for success of the tremendous the weekend was due to the hard work in planning and organ izing by Bob Doane, our Social Chairman, and to Mrs. Hall, our housemother.
