Guilty offenders caught wearing red on Blue Monday entertained. A Step Rally highlighted by Pappy and Les Richter set off the spirit that contributed to the road of victory. The final approval cn the Axetravaganza is given at rehearsal. ENTHUSIASM, EXCITEMENT, and true Cal spirit keynoted our Homecom- ing which was proclaimed one of the best ever. The week was filled with traditions which began with the old favorite of Blue Monday, and continued on with the crowning of the queen, reenactment of the stealing of the axe, and a parade of gigantic proportion. The Axe Rally on Friday evening saw the Greek Theatre jammed with students whose tremendous spirit was sur- passed only at the Big Game the following day when our greatest hopes were realized as we witnessed a stirring exhibition of fine athletics. Tired but victorious rooters celebrate a perfect ending to an exciting week. HOMECOMING

THIS SEMESTER the student body has been fortunate in having outstanding leaders speak to them at the University meetings. One of the more memorable talks made to the students was by Lord Halifax, a guest of the United States from England. Though the students were able and happy to miss classes in the daytime, the Christmas Sing in the evening, with the caroling at the houses beforehand, was very successful. The University chorus along with the orchestra made the Christ- mas spirit more meaningful. Although the weather was not very cooperative, ter Day was held at the Greek Theatre in the traditional manner, and at this ing the new chancellor of the University, Dr. Kerr, was introduced. Those who shivered through the cold morning found it well worth their while, with the colorful procession of faculty members in robes and the talk by Arthur Goodhart. ing to the feminine side of the picture, Dr. Meta Glass, president emeritus of Sweet Briar College, was one of the principal speakers for the IAWS convention on the Berkeley campus. Speaking on Women in Education, Miss Glass filled her talk with many anecdotes from her experiences in the field of education. The University meeting will always hold a permanent place in the life of the Cal campus. ce N LU
