Jail Hau rmllp Just before the Christmas holidays, by the combined efforts of the Press Club and Music School, an e ening of vaudeville was presented in Millspaugh Hall. The huge success of the performance was so not- able that a like event will be staged e ery fall and the Annual Vaudeville will become a tradition. It is difficult to assign the credit for the numerous acts given, because it was the co-operation of everyone that made pos- i. sible the entertainment. Two Alumnae of the University, Ruth Mitchell and Mary Boland, gave the act which calls forth most praise. The Haz-Wuz Beens of working-girl fame will not soon be forgotten. Ballet Ferrique under the direction of Ruth Gentle added a fanciful and delicate touch to the vaudeville. Kap and Bells ' oflfering, the one-act play, The Madonna, was the most sub- stantial number on the program and the most difficult . Kennie and Vic were comedians for the evening and their sallies of wit were highly amusing. Rasp- berries, drawn by Rex Miller for the screen, were of great local interest. Wanted a Wife, a pantomine of bachelor troubles, ended with the usual scene of domestic happiness and left the audience well pleased. Out of Our Line, consisting of a cabaret scene with usual line of entertainers, closed the evening. Ruth Phillips was direc- tor of the well planned program. She was assisted by a committee from the two organizations consist- ing of Irene Cronkite, David Barnwell, Dan Shoemaker and Kathryn Davis. 25

1.01.-1. .01. (game ' Twas on November 8, 1919, that the Cubs ' big northern brother, namely the U. of C, came south to humble the gridiron warriors of U.S.C. This was the first opportunity the Cubs had to dem- onstrate to the outside world their California spirit. The demonstra- tion was satisfactory and memorable. Three hundred strong S.B.U.C. journeyed to Bovard Field and yelled and sang the Bruin eleven to victory. We were amply rewarded when the California yell leader said, They show the same spirit as the mother institution herself. All of which, aside from the 14-13 score, will cause the day to long remain a milestone of early Southern Branch history. •iKittg iag Fresh from fields of glory, for U.S.C. had just triumphed over Stan- ford in a football game on Bovard field, the students of U.S.C. came to the Southern Branch after having made similar visits to several high schools and Occidental College, in a long victory line of automobiles, conspicuous among which was a Ford roadster decorated in the foreground by a lone, wild pussy cat. It was a temptation and it worked ; although it was meant to tease Oxy, acting on the spur of the moment, fifty S.B.U.C. men cut the ropes holding said kitty and raced away with it. The cameraman called Action — but the Southern Branch kept kitty. Later, for reasons appertaining to the olfactory sensibili- ties kitty was given back to U.S.C, but the Southern Branch of the University of Califor- nia had had an after- noon on her campus which welded a spirit of unity in her student body that is to be long nurtured. 24

QlhrtBtmaH (finttrrrt In a University there are many things which have a tradition, or which are founded upon precedent. The Christmas Concert in the future will be one of these things. On the evening of December 18 there was given in the Auditorium of the University the first Christmas Concert. It was unique in many ways. All the music organizations in the school were combined in the program. The story of the birth of Christ was narrated by the singing of carols from many nations. Some were old English without date, French, Belgian, Welsh, and one was from White Russia. W orked in with beautiful effect were the boys ' choir, the chil- dren ' s chorus numbers, and Gounod ' s Nazareth by the Women ' s Chorus. The concert was a wonderful success. iKtllapaugli iirmdrial Friday afternoon, January 30, was chosen to remember Dr. Jesse F. Mills- paugh with an impressive assembly. Events of his beautiful and worth-while life were reviewed and commented upon by four of his closest friends. They spoke of the influence of his personality upon themselves in their years of association with him and his work. The speakers were the Hon. Henry W. Wright, Hon. I. N. Smith, Mrs. Susan Dorsey and Dr. Ernest C. Moore. Dr. Miller sang Tennyson ' s Crossing the Bar, and two numbers were given by the Girls ' Glee Club. 26
