will be determined by the expenses involved. When persons
attending the ball receive their tickets, their packet will in-
clude a card to reserve one of the books. They will also be
made available to the general public.
Mrs. Hansing has been doing research on the people and
buildings that have been used in murals painted especially
for the ball. The paintings have been drawn by Marilee
Macias. She has been assisted by a number of people in
painting the large historical murals and portraits. Much of
Mrs. Hansing’s research has been gleaned from books al-
ready written about Perry.
The book will recount some of the “behind the scenes”
preparations for the ball and color photographs of the his-
torical paintings and history of the building and people por-
trayed in the pictures. Also included will be ballroom scenes,
such as the Grand March, special groups and/or honored
dignitaries. If space is available, the booklet will contain
candid shots of ball guests.
