First Dance of Chapel Hill Summer School Season, June 19, 1925

First Dance of Season. . . It Took Place Saturday Night in the Bynum Gymnasium

Social activities of the Summer School session opened with the first dance of the season in Bynum gymnasium Saturday night. Greatly outnumbering the men, the young women, summer school students, filled the gym to capacity, and lent colorful contrast to the usual undergraduate dances here, when men are invariably in the majority.

With only a sprinkling of men students left on the Hill for the summer terms, social life takes on a new aspect. Dances are held at frequent intervals in the gym and at various fraternity houses; and young women predominate in all phases of social activity.

Several hundred girls, and a slightly smaller number of men, were in attendance at the opening dance Saturday night. No admission was charged. Another dance, lasting for an hour, was held in the gym Monday night. At these events from now on small admission charges are made for men, inasmuch as social activities in the Summer School season are entirely self-supporting.
