with a cloudy skirt. Other Seniors
present included Margaret Reid in
blue net over yellow printed crepe

on the ground; Rita Maley in
heavy white satin and startling
red chiffon draping over the shoul-

exhibiting her handiwork—a shell
pink satin made on simple princess

dress whose high bloused bodice
was of old rose satin. Marian Sul-

b l a c k and red sequined em-

to a full skirt of black paper taf-
feta. Florence O'Neil was smart
in peacock blue taffeta embroid-
ered in gold threads. Madeline
Wilbert was charming in white
tailored crepe. Jane Missimer was
in white, too—chiffon, with a
swirling, pleated skirt whose
green sash accentuated her tiny
waist. Ruth Mary McCarty wore
white brocade and a white, fluffy
veil which formed a halo for her
raven curls..
