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

JUNIOR CIRCUS Following the publication of The Sirkus Swat as a forerunner of the Junior Circus, the class of 1918 produced one of the greatest shows ever seen on Bovard Field. The big night, April 17, was the rallying time for juniors of every college. Hawaiian musicians, strong men, magicians, and fortune tellers played their part in characteristic 1918 style. Junior girls, dashing around the field on fiery steeds, lived up to their reputation as rough riders. Clifford Henderson ' s stunts performed on the tight rope would be a credit to any professional circus performer. FACULTY-SENIOR BASEBALL Proving that higher education and the blessings of perpetual youth are sometimes the concomitants of a University professorship, the faculty base- ball team defeated the seniors by a score of five to one, in the last annual faculty-senior game played on Bovard Field, May 19th. Rockwell Dennis Hunt, playing airtight ball, captured many a high-flier with his long right arm. Tully Cleon Knoles had but to turn back the pages of U. S. C. athletic history and resume his old tactics. Festus Edward Owen, using a large megaphone with but little conscious consideration of the biological point of view. kept the people on the bleachers informed of any progress made by the contending teams.
