WOMEN ' S DAY On the twenty-second of March, women students from every college of the University gathered at the Liberal Arts campus for their annual celebra- tion of Women ' s Day. The exercises were formally opened at the regular chapel hour, when the celebrants, clad in white, formed into four columns on the front lawn, and began marching into the chapel. For ten minutes they ascended the steps, but all were not fortunate enough to be supplied with a seat or even with standing room inside the chapel walls. Mrs. Carrie Jacobs Bond was the woman of the hour. This talented song writer told how she had always wanted to compose songs which would be an inspiration to everyone hearing them, and how she finally took up the work in the face of criticism and opposing difficulties. She supplemented her remarks by singing and playing some of her own compositions. Among these were, I Love You Truly, Just a Wearyin ' for You, and A Perfect Day. After the chapel exercises, luncheon was served in the cafeteria. Toasts were given by representatives of each of the nine colleges of the University, and the key-note of every talk was the furtherance of Greater University spirit. Then followed a women ' s track meet, and the program of the day was complete. SOME OF THE CO-EDS— WOMEN ' S DAY. LIBERAL ARTS Page 28

ANNUAL PAJAMARINO November 2 was the date for the big night rally on the bleachers, before the game with California. The Pajamarino of all freshman men, and the giant three-story bonfire provided the big events of the evening ' s entertain- ment. The Varsity and freshman football squads occupied seats of honor on the platform. Manfred Evans, as student body president, was in charge of the rally, which was conceded to be the best of the year. k 1 M mumm. iii ii i-V, . J.-. = ■ ■- 1 : W BEFORE THE CALIFORNIA GAME. THE MAY FESTIVAL Spectacular for its beauty of costume and coloring, and interesting in its wide variety of numbers, the annual May Festival claimed the attention of a large audience on the campus, the evening of May 17. Following the pageant of over two hundred brightly arrayed performers, Bernice McCurdy ' 16 was crowned queen of the May. Her entertainers were costumed to represent humble peasant folk and stately courtiers of colonial days. THE QUEEN AND HER ATTENDANTS. LIBERAL ARTS Page 27
