Bright eyed freshman flappers carried their captive audiences back into the fun and 'frolic of the roaring 20's. Their dynamic drill and daffy dance proved that the Charleston is by no means dead. A daring bank robbery by a sly flapper created a comical situation for the Highlanders' skit, while a precisioned rally dis- played the class unity needed for a successful playday. Placing third this year, the frosh are ready and waiting for the challenge of next year's playday.

7 dappwed an 794154 sophs show how. As you all know, anything can happen in Paris, and the Sopho- mores took their audiences across the Atlantic to prove it. Where else can row on row of mustached artists march in intricate forma- tions, and gay young mademoiselles dance happily through the streets. As shown in the skit, Parisian street cleaners don't even bother to sweep up dead bodies although they are very meticulous about the blood stains. Pretty parasols and the use of black light created a rally with the charm and gaiety exclusive to gay Paree. Yes, the sophs gave us a wonderful time and it all happened in Paris. Dancing dolls give us a taste of Paris in a picturesque Champs Elysees setting. Artists with a trench flair form a P for Paris. Laughter echoed through Mission as sophs put on a skit which could have happened only in Paris. Precise hand movements and colorful paraxols added to the dramatic effect of the sophomore rally. 209
