Twenty men were pledged to Skull and Dagger senior honorary fraternity, at ceremonies held in assembly, yesterday.

Announcement of the first Spring patgeant to be presented by the LT.
S. C. physical education department was made yesterday by Miss Dorothy Doty, instructor in dancing in the women's physical education department. Miss Doty, who is a pupil of Norma Gould, has planned a dance fete of great proportions and will be busy during the coming months preparing the pageant for presentation at U. S. C. This is the first time U. S. C. has attempted such an event and. with the increased facilities and opportunities which are now supplied by the Physical Education department for such work, the affair should prove extremely popular.
Miss Doty, who will have full charge j of the production, came to U. S. C. last year to take charge of the dancing classes which were being offered in the woman's gymnasium. Under

Commerce Club Holds Smoker and Tea Soon
Many New Songs Appear in the New Edition of Old Trojan Book
Next week the vest-pocket and vanity case edition of the U. S. C. Song Book will be on sale on the Trojan campus. There are many outstanding features about this book 1 but its greatest worth says Art Met-the editor, lies in the fact that it will always be on hand when occasion demands.
The truth of the well worn state-
Stuart Walker’s, famous drama, The Book of Job ,is to be the next presentation in the Artist Course offering. It will be given in Bovard Auditorium on Friday evening, February 22.
The proceeds from the Artist Course are to go into the fund that is being raised to erect the much-needed woman's building.
A play of this kind should not be thought of as one of oppressive solemnity for Bible students alone. “The Book of Job” is a stage-worthy drama, to be enjoyed by all persons capable of appreciating beauty and significant emotion as presented through the medium of the theatre.
The lighting effects are particularly ingenious. The use of increasing and diminishing lighting effects replaces the usual curtain and heightens the figures clothed in biblical costum is. A ceiling halo in prismatic colors appeal’s when the Divine voice is heard, while lightning f.ashes and a continuous rumbling of the thunder proclaims the Divine presence.
Tickets may be obtained now from Miss English in Mr. Stonier's office. A special rate of 75c has been madt for students. The regular prices are $1. and $1.50.

Although no date has been set for the pageant, preliminary work will start at once. Miss Doty wishes to meet all women on the campus, whether or not they have had preparatory asthetic dancing, who are interested and wish to take part in the production, in her office at three o’clock today.
This is the first year that a dance fete of such beauty and magnitude has been planned, but its ultimate success will establish it an an annual feature of the Woman's Department of Physical Education pro gram.
In the past many have wondered why IT. S. C. did not present this type of entertainment, since the dancing classes have been making such progress and since the women have never before been called upon to appear before the public to advertise this feature in the Physical Education Department.
At many other universities the spring dance pageant is one of the biggest events of the year, and it is
