arftnde thU coming weekend,
fallowing R Jw preliminary an
iXQuncemcuu by Principal Oralapp,
the Sophomore claw took charge of
the buembly.
The scene of t!u progTani wus a
courtroom. The program waa a pres
entation of renowned character or
personagm whom the prosecuting at
torney charged wern being Imperson
ated by irresponsible individuals. In
order to prove Uiat they were not
Impostors, the apprehended persons
were required to give aome perform
ance that would prove they were who
Uty claimed to be.
The characters In the order of their
appearance were:
Judge. John Blgg.
Prosecuting attorney. LU Kennedy.
Solo, Hay 1 fend rliit son.

One of the moat outstanding ft
turea of. the program wad the dance
presented by the nine girls from the
Modern Interpretiw dance class. It
was done lu the true modern style,
that is, the dancers selected a piece
of music and arranged their dance
with a rein to reproducing the mood
and character of the music. The pur
pose of such a dance la not to give
a realistic reproduction of what the
mu-40 cuggvsta but to create that
tnipree&ton by line, pattern and de-c-'.gu.
Tlie musical composition that
was interpreted; "Chopta's" "Military
Polonaise," is of a military nature as
the title sugyeat. The costuming for
the nance wss not of a particular
- warrior, but only auggwUv of war
fare. In the dance two groups were seen
working tn opposition to each ochrr
as though they were engaged tn com
bat. Toward the end of the dance
death separated fTvxn the group and
came forward. The combat ceased
and both groups united tn an effort
