Look for the reflecting mir ror ball which will give the effect of snow flakes falling from the sky. At the far end of the din ing hall a fountain will be spotted and rows of evergreen trees will produce a frame effect on either side of the fountain. A tall silver Christmas tree laden with goW tree ornaments will appropriately lend to the Winterland atmosphere These ideas, and many others have been formulated to produce a con ducive surrounding for the “Christ mas At Salem” dance. During intermission the I. R. S. Cabinet will be presented and the members, escorted by their dates, will form a figure on the dance floor.
