Because of the weather it was impossible to give it in the Greek Theatre as planned, and at the last moment it was decided to hold the performance in the College Arms Theatre. After an exceptionally interesting series of skits a Zulu Dance by Doris Carver and Elwyn Welch brought down the house. Following this number came the looked for spring of the class costumes. The girls in gray corduroy skirts and white crepe de chine waists with green ties, and the men in tan corduroys, brown flannel shirts, green ties, and gray caps marched on the stage. , After singing the class songs and giv- ing the class yells, the Plug closed with a Big Pomona, followed by Hail, Pomona, Hail.

ILWKIQYN1 lnside the building the arrangement was not so greatly changed but that most of the old familiar rooms could be recognized. However an elaborate suite of rooms had been arranged for the administrative system of the college. The old steps leading to the second floor were entirely gone and new ones adjoining the entrance of the chapel had been made. In the chapel itself the greatest transformation had been wrought although the old lines could still be recognized. The stage had been made larger, and a fine series of dressing rooms addedg the acoustic properties too had been made much better. The whole room has since been enriched by most beautiful curtains and hangings in brown and tan. ln our new Holmes Hall we miss the landmarks of our old friend. We miss the old chapel bell when the new electric bell system calls us to classes. But we see in our new building a realization of greater thingsg we feel the materializing of our dreams for the Greater Pomona. ypgqv., ,W PACIFIC ELECTRIC DEPOT Page Twenty-five

MILITARY DRILL Even before the call to arms came in the United States sixty men of the college had formed a military company and were training three times a week to prepare themselves to aid in any great national crisis. Since this call has come the numbers in the training squad have suddenly risen from sixty to one hundred and seventy-five. Three companies have been formed, one composed of Upper-classmen, one of Sophomores, and one of Freshman. These companies now drilling six hours a week hope within the next four months at least to gain recognition as a Federal Officers Reserve Corps so that they may train for service and still remain at their studies. Captains Atsatt, Doll, and Huston have all had wide experience in military training. Uniforms and guns are to be procured soon, for Pomona is anxious to contribute her share in the cause of Democracy. W Y y5'7f45iFEp ' 'itfiiffe' J, Page Twenty-sezfeu
