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

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.

L 1 f ,I The Pole Rush The Sophmore class, strong in their mighty numbers and former experience, easily succeeded in winning the annual Pole Rush from the Freshman class. The Freshmen though filled with the true Pomona fighting spirit were badly outclassed because of the equal numbers of experienced Nineteeners. The first onslaught of the confident Kauai proved successful. Even the advice of the cheering Juniors proved to no avail and the Freshmen went down to a glorious defeat. But as a class they had fought to the last blow of the whistle, and had proven them- selves worthy of a place in the annals of the college. l if i 1 I' x, r V' .Sl xi. x-15 ,A , xi K: , Nlilll . 1m4.,,v,N qtgcg, i,A L .. ,,- ,., M .
