Speaker Is Delegate To World’s Conference On Education From Italy
By AL TACHET
In several respects, “Polly With a Past,” presented by the Famous junior class in the Bovard Auditorium last Thursday and Friday nights, measured up as the most satisfactory student play production given at U. S. C. in the last four years. Judged upon a basis of acting and cast team-work, “Polly’ 'surpassed every play seen at U. S. C. since the present senior class entered the University. The junior play “went over big,” and in this respect it compares with the musical extravaganza, “Campus Frolics,” which war perhaps the greatest of campus hits.
First honors for the success of tne play must be divided between Miss Florence Hubbard, who directed the production, and Ruth

strokes, but I don't like the game. It reminds me too much of Uncle John when I has to carry those clubs over my shoulder like a hod.
I goes out to a diamond with a frat bro. who is also a Ippy Kap. They has wasted a whole pasture for this here game. I thought golf was a man’s game, but I never seen so many kids in short pants playing out there, j They sure looked old for their age.
My friend, who is Don Chano, tells me to stand up and whack a little white hail. I starts to swing and he says, “Be careful and don’t slice it.”
I tells him 1 may be dumb, but I know the diff. between a cake and a white ball. 1 swings loose and after I has dug the Sahara Desert outa my eyes I sees I ain’t injured the ball.
COULDN’T HURT IT
However. I finally starts, but I didn’t like the game. They had one stick, called a “mashie,” but 1 tried for a hour to mash one of them halls when I I got mad, but I couldn't do it. The game is too tecnicle though with them clicks, niblocks, etc. The driver I had sure lived up to its name. You can drive a ball to the lake but you can’t make it drink. All I did with the putter was to putter in my club bag.

LUCILLE WILLS TO ORATEFOR U. S. C.
For the first time in its history, U. S. C. will be represented by a woman in the All-California Oratorical Contest to be held in Bovard Auditorium Friday, May 31. Miss Lucille Wills will speak on the subject. “Woman and the Constitution.” She is well known as an orator and was one of the speakers of the Flying Squadron. This is another step forward for women in forensic contests. The first woman’s debate took place recently.
Robert E. Lewis will represent Stanford: William Berger, Southern Branch; Roy Votaw, Whittier College. John May Burnett, a great grandson of the first Federal governor of California will be the speaker for Santa Clara University. There will also be representatives from Redlands, Loyola and Occidental colleges.
As well as the delegations from these colleges, there will be representatives from a number of women's clubs, civic organizations and the Associated Press.
Closing the social activities of the year, the Engineers wrill hold their final banquet Thursday evening at the College Tea Room at 6 o'clock. The banquet is an annual affair to review the work of the past year, the possible work for the coming year and to count the votes of the election of officers for 1923-24. A real banquet in every respect is being planned, according to President Rowley.
“Every engineer is expected." said Rowley. “This banquet is the last big
performance of special attraction to U.S.C. students and outsiders, according to Harold Taft, president.
The Glee Club lias two classes of tickets to offer for those who wish to help them make the Eastern Tour, which will begin one week after their performance at the Trinity Auditorium. Sponsors’ tickets are ten dollars, while the guarantorship costs seventy-five dollars, and entitles one to a block of seats at the next performance and to have their names printed in the programs of the Glee Club here as well as on those appearing at their performances in the'east.
Students are urged by the management of the Glee Club to get all the j sponsors and guarantors for the Club possible, because it is by tlleir aid that the Club is making the tour.
One music critic of Los Angeles, in speaking of Olga Steeb, stated that “It is difficult to classify the remarkable genius whose mental endowment is as extraordinary, as the results of mastery. One can find so much more in her performances than mere intellectuality, and indefinable essence of pure beauty, a something even above the musical form which she has in hand. One carries away from her interpretations a more than evanescent memory of thrills. There is no doubting but that Olga Steeb is one of the

juniors is worthy of comment. SPIRITS HIGH
Several of the other roles were unusually well played. Ray Cowley and Edgar Hansen put life in the characters of Clay Collum and Harry Richardson. Hansen played his comedy in farce style, and saved the first act at moments when interest was lagging. This process, however, detracted slightly from his generally subtle playing.
Warner Grassell did well in the leading male role, although he did not

Grassell was in an awkward situation throughout the play, he succeeded in sustaining the interest of the audience until the end of the last act. (CONTINURD ON PAGE 2)

Dear Editor:
So many conflicting statements have gained currency that it seems necessary to make clear certain arrangements concerning the closing of senior work.
The faculty has been asked to maks a preliminary report on a!t seniors in their classes on June t. This will make necessary the giving of any tests, which may be deemed necessary, prior to that date. Finfel grades are not asked for at that time. On this account seniors will NOT be expected to take final examinations at the time scheduled during examination week. This ruling, however, does nto apply to lower division required subjects in which seniors may be making up work that should have been completed in tehir first two years, such as English 1, Science, Foreign Language and Psychology.
Seniors are expected to attend all sessions of their various classes up to the close of the semester. The above statements apply to graduate students also.
As announced in last week’s “Trojan.” hoods will be presented at the baccalaureate address on Sunday morning, June 17. This applies to all hoods for both Bachelor’s and Master's degrees.

Registrar.

The first annual golf tournament of the University of Southern California got away to a big start yesterday, about fifty men starting play in the four-day tournament. Several fine scores were turned in and the averafe was much higher than was expected.
The results of play will be published in the Trojan, but pairings and drawings for today's play will be published in the Times and Examiner, and will also be posted in the main foyer of the Administration building.
