Each year the State College drama de- partment expands, and students have realized that theater makes for fine en- tertainment. Few realize the work and effort that go into the presentation of a good play. Hobo Day to quote is the biggest one- day event in South Dakota unquote, and the biggest event on the State Col- lege campus. What rags and tatters lack in elegance, the floats make up for. 11

Twilight settles over Sylvan theater. A crowd gathers . . . not silently. What is it . . . Kangaroo Court, Blue Key, not a hard guess. What else could produce such contented smiles upon the faces of jaded upperclassmen. There is something about it all that brings out the beast. Psychologists might say initiation is a student ' s way of relieving a feeling . . . and we have so many. The stocks, reminiscent of Salem witch days, play an important part in the government of Kangaroo Court. Next thing, they ' ll flood Sylvan, tie the freshmen to a pole and dunk them for good measure.

A crowd is an interesting and curious thing. What makes people gather to- gether? Could it be a political rally, a lynching? In this case it ' s probably just another initiation . . . but make your own guesses. A student body president . . . steals a torch and away he runs. Chris filched the torch from North Dakota State col- lege during their Homecoming cere- monies. The torch is probably as im- portant a relic to them as the Rooter King is to SDSC, and if past perform- ances can be cited as an example they ' ll be hot for revenge next year. 12
