Description
This is the reverse side of a two sided collage. The collages celebrates the dances that girls attending women's college attended at men's colleges in first half of the 20th Century in the US. The women would travel together by car or railroad to the college where they would attend a football game followed by dance. Often the women would stay over night in lodging houses with their chaperones and attend church the following morning. These were much anticipated social events by college women. Clothes and etiquette were very important. The background in this collage is a photocopy of pages from Emily Post's Book of Etiquette from the thirties. The bottom right passage says, "May I write a bread-and-butter letter to a boy who had his roommate ask me (for him) to come with his best girl, who is my best girl friend, to a fraternity dance at their House?"
