.. iq. 'X D . 'QT 'F '24 R 'F if y II Eighth and Ninth Men's Mixers The Men's Mixer, only all-men's event on the campus, was given twice during the past year. once at the beginning of each semester. The first mixer, given on Friday evening, October 5, was doubly unique, not only being the first to be held in four year college, but also the best attended l of all. two hundred and seventy-six enjoying the dinner and subsequent festivi- I ties. Everything, from the presence of twenty snappy coed-waitresses to the termination of one of the largest and liveliest snake-dances ever snaked by l jaycik or Munick, progressed so smoothly as to be highly gratifying to everyone present, including those in charge. lf Numbers which stood out on the program were talks given by Dean Mac- Kenzie and Lawrence H. Seltzer of the Economics Department, spicy, selected, but enforced freshman entertainment, and the big snake dance which, as noted, ended the affair. The second mixer was held February 29, and enjoyed much the same success l as the first, the program given being a reproduction of it. E 3 The Student Club sponsors these mixers, which have become a tradition i y and the all-men's affair lool-:ed forward to each semester. I l PROGRAM 6 NINTH MEN's MIXER - .

According to the opinion of students and faculty, l 1 . i i I 5 i. it far surpassed any past production, which shows how the school is progressing. g 5 , . , . . . 2 5 f Naughty Marietta sang and danced her way into the hearts of her audience: l X i S S F it and her broken English with its French accent made her more charming and l bewitching than ever. No one who saw the opera could forget how Naughty ' li Q Marietta looked when she appeared on the wall of the fountain and sang about 3 - Q. ,f y Naughty Marietta who just couldn'tbe good.

He was the one, don't you re- ,a l l member, who had scorned love and such nonsense, and Marietta, looking up 5 l 1 demurely, said. Me, too. But Capt.

You mustn't forget either, how he helped her f 5 l escape detection by placing her in the hands of Rudolpho, keeper of the Marion- 5 5 5 i Q yt ette Theatre on the Rue Corondalet. Rudolpho had a most delicate task, and - 2 , , he never forgot his accent for a minute. 7 -. 1 z 2 l But Simon and Lizette! It has actually been a task to convince many people lf that the red-haired old maid was actually Patty Woodford: and who for an 1 x l i instant would ever think that Russell Smith could ever resemble Simon O'Hara, FE' : . The Rising American? Talk about fun! We had it, even if Simon didn't, in a cf his vain attempt to rid himself of Lizette, who proved herself an old maid of If . l K long standing in her unflinching pursuit. Wasn't she the coy young thing as lf' f l E 1 she tripped the light fantastic to captivate the eye of her Simon. Simon had Y .

Simon didn't waste any sympathy on Lizette, but he was worried f l . 8 about the casquette, hadn't she said it was full of gold, and wasn't he a rising l 5 5 Q I 3 1 American?
