ft., l SPRING FROLIC A talented group chosen from the Freshmen and Sophomores presented a Spring Frolic for the benefit of Dominicus, on May third, 1927. Dances of varied types constituted the program. The introductory one was a fancy solo dance in which sparkling rhinestone heels and a pretty ostrich fan were displayed with exceptional gracefulness. Next came tambourines and a unique Spanish dance. The balloon dance, the jig, and the weaving dance were also displayed with great grace. Last, and least in height but not in dancing skill, were three little girls dressed in pink, orchid and yellow, who blithefully skipped their nay into the hearts of the audience. by means of a Hower dance. An impromptu vocal number, Spring Has Come, and the recitation of Joyce Kilmer's Trees, called forth hearty applause. VVe hope the little girl who sang 'Tm Lostedu will get lost again sometime soon. and tell us all about it. The lfreshies and Sophs are good friends, for they told us so in their final number. The Frolic was a huge success. Thanks to all the participants, who were ably trained by the untiring efforts of Sister Nicolena. FRESHIES' DANCE Springheld Syncopaters? VVho are they? Never mind, you'll Find out to- night at our hop. This was all the satisfaction we could obtain from the Freshmen with regard to their orchestra. On the eve of May fifth, we made our way to the auditorium, and lol said Syncopaters were none other than a group of our own select talent. Piano. drums, banjo, cornet. violins and flute, accompanied by rhythmical clapping, brought forth the snappiest of melodies. Eat, drink, and he merry proved to be the evening's slogan. And who could resist falling into the spirit of things with such sandwiches, such lemonade, and such an orchestra? i THEY DO SAY On VVednesday afternoon, April twentysseventh, the Sophomores broke the monotony of daily routine hy presenting a short comedy, ftThey Do Say. Three numbers, consisting of two songs by a chorus. an attractive reading, and a piano selection, preceded the comedy. Our verdict on the play was that the Sophs possess unlimited dramatic ability and a surplus of hyperbole XYe've decided to give up gossiping save on state occasions. Seventy-Seven

Us xx xxxxx KRW ND A RN is fx' fx, 20 ff ij' MR. RICHARD CZERWONKY On February tenth, we had a rare musical treat in the program given by Mr. Richard Czerwonky, violinist of world-wide renown. Mr. Czerwonky is one of the foremost living violinists, one who can bear comparison with any of the celebrities of the day. Mr. Czerwonky's explanations of his numbers were very simple, being that of classroom style. He gave the Handel A Major Sonata and the Mendelssohn E Minor, the same conscientious readings as would be heard in Carnegie Hall, packed to the very doors, with the musical elite of the metropolis. ln other words one minute Mr. Czerwonky was a students' lecturer, the next minute4presto-a concert violinist giving his all. A Czerwonky composition, Air de Ballet. a light dance tune with an indelible melody and a happy surprise at the end, proved to be the feature of the evening. He was called to repeat the air as an encore. Romance, Memories, Humor- esquef' a waltz and a minuet were the other selections from his own pen. Miss Ellen Munson furnished exactly the accompaniment worthy of a Lfzera wouky. In all, the recital was one that will linger in our memory for many a day.

A petty grievance cherished by Mrs. Louisa Hollingsworth and Mrs. Mattie Pettis since early school girl days is brought to light in a very amusing fashion.
