The Dude Ranchll was the theme of the vaudeville which was given by the music and girls' physical edu- cation departments. Ir was one of the most colorful affairs staged. The characters were cowboys and cow- girls from the ranch, cinema stars from Hollywood, and Indians from a neighboring reseravtion. The cowboys were dressed in chaps and ten gallon hats, and the girls in plaid shirts and split skirts. The cinema stars, who danced, sang, and played musical instruments, wore either formals or sport clothes. The Indians wore the traditional costumes of the Indian maidens, but they came back later in shorts, in great contrast with their former costumes. The entire pro- duction was under the direction of Miss Smith, Miss Patterson, and Mr. Wainwright. Another performance put on by the physical educa- tion department was the annual exhibition.

unlike other years, there was no central theme fol- lowed. In it there were American games, dances, and fancy skaters. Then there were Scottish games and dances. The girls taking part in these wore the traditional Scotch clothing. There was also some natural dancing, creative dancing, and modern gymnastics. A Russian folk dance done in Russian costumes was a great attraction. There was a ballet dance, a tap dance by the dance club, a short basketball game, and musical stairs. Of course the ever welcome tumblers made a bright Spot in the program. This was under the direc- tion of Miss Patterson and Miss Smith. THE TOTEM 1936 First Row: B. Griffith, E. Huston, E. Habig, N.
