Tonight we promenade.

Heralded as the greatest social function of the year, the Junior Prom looses its night of fun and festivity with dinner this evening. Other dances may surpass the Prom in gorgeousness occasionally-not often-but there is, was, and ever will be One Prom, and only one. It is apart from every other form of social life.

Aside from romances connected perhaps with football or basketball, these are never touched upon in magazine college life. The exceptions, and not the rule, give the periodical reader his impression of campus life.
