June IT has been chosen as the best possible date for the next junior-senior Snap, which will take place at the Gamma Ep house, but not without due deliberation as to the fitness of the date. The argument in favor ol this particular time is that the finals will be all over, thereby relieving the minds of harrassed students. Activities of Commencement too will be nearly over. Ivy Day exercises will be completed and the next afternoon will be the Commencement services.
This is probably the last time the seniors will have the opportunity to meet socially before they leave the University. It is also the first time the juniors have been invited to participate in the popular senior affairs, and it is expected that not many will care io pass such an opportunity by.
Another attraction of the last Snap is the “refreshments that are different,” and the committee in charge has reported the syncopations from Chet Beard's versatile musicians will furnish music Jor the occasion.
The patrons will be Dean and Mrs. Karl T. Waugh, and Professor and Mrs. Kenneth Bissel. The Snap will commence promptly at 8:30 and will close at 10:30.

Senior chapel, traditional event of commencement exericses, was observed yesterday morning at the last chapel hour of this semester. Although it lacked the accustomed solemnity of such occasions because of the absence of academic caps and gowns, it presented a complete program of senior achievements and talent.
The procession, composed of members of the graduating class .filed into the auditorium to the special reserved section ;an organ prelude, Marche Pontificale, played by Willard Smith, accompanied the processional. John Woods, president of the class, took charge and the entire assembly arose for the singing of Alma Mater. After a brief opening address by John Woods, in which wTas stressed the recent victory of the Southern California track men, the exercises were turned over to Marquis Busby, chairman of the committee in charge of senior chapel, who presided during the rest of the program. A scripture reading by Walter Holstein was followed by a vocal solo, “Howr lively Are Thy Dwellings,” sung by Edmund Ruffner, and accompanied by Willard Smith Smith on the organ.
By searching through the back files of the Trojan and El Rodeo, Gertrude
Street unearthed much interesting and enlightening material tor the class history; among other reminiscences was that of Martha Smith scrubbing green paint from the front walk with a toothbrush and of New Lewis in the role of sophomore president. .Miss Street .ouched upon all the high point in the career of the class, including the first undignified brawls with the sophomores, browbeating of the present juniors, the grand and glorious junior prom, and the final bl^ze of glory, the Senior Road Show. As conclusive evidence that this class is superior to all others, either present, future, or past, Miss Street presented the fact that during their regime the Administration building was completed, Doctor von KleinSmid Was made president of the university.

School of Music Concludes Year of Campus Activities
Graduation is approaching and school activities are coming to a close. The College of Music has accomplished a great deal in the past six months and the University may well be proud of the work done under the supervision of Dean Skeele.
During the Christmas holidays the music students entertained one hundred and fifty unfortunate children with a Christmas tree and a Christmas program. A gift was given to each child and candy and nuts in red stockings was bestowed on teh worthy little ’^mes] Twelve families were provided with bountiful Christmas dinners. A Christmas dance was a prominent social feature of the college year.
This spring, according to Dean Skeele, the College of Music gave a Hardtime Dance. Part of the evening was given over to a vaudeville performance of seven acts. The orchestra which supplied the music for the evening and also the setting for the vaudeville was furnished by the Hal Roach studio through the courtesy of
Thelma French.
The College of Music has several sororities and fraternities which are as follows: Mu Phi Epsilon, a social honorary women's sorority; Phi Mu Alpha, a social men's fraternity; Phi Phi. a junior honorary upper division fraternity for men and women; Phi Kappa Lambda a national honorary scholarship fraternity corresponding to Phi Beta Kappa.
Mary Taylor, president of the College of Music, announces that a picnic for all music students will take place on Thursday. June 4. at the Sunset Country Club, at which time the old officers will give up theri offices for those elected in their places for the coming year.
The graduate recitals have been ex-trmely interesting to music enthusiasts. Carl Lane gave a splendid piano recital, and Lesla Lukans and Drusey Belle Gardon gave a voice recital. The last recital of the year will be given by Mary Taylor on Thursday evening. June 4, at Touchstone Theatre.
Starting today, an unusual ticket selling campaign is to be staged by students of the School of Speech for •’The Taming of the Shrew,” which is to be produced in Bovard Auditorium June 16.
Two sides, captained respectively by Mary Ella Brooks and Emily Herbert, have been chosen from the Speech students who are to conduct the campeign. Each member of each side must sell ten tickets; that is, each side must sell one hundred and fifty tickets. All tickets sold above this number by each team will add to their number of points. The losing team in the contest is to entertain the winners with a dance, banquet, or some other form of amusement. The campaign will be carried to all the colleges of the University.
Rehearsals under the general direction and supervision of Miss Florence Hubbard of the School of Speech are going ahead rapidly. Miss Tacie Mae Hanna, also* of Speech, is handling the business and publicity end of the production.
It is assured by those in charge of the presentation that the play is one that will especially appeal to a college audience, since it is a splendid comedy, and all the comedy parts are being particularly emphasized. Individual training for each member of the cast in both voice and diction insures a polished performance when the play is presented on June 16, according to Miss Hubbard.
The cast is composed entirely of students in the School of Speech, also the committees in charge of business and publicity.
PRESS CLUB PICNIC RELD FOR MEMBERS
Twelve Writers Initiated Into Order at Hermosa Beach Tuesday
El Rodeo Sales Soon To Close as But Few Left, Says Manager
Sale on the El Rodeo will soon close as there are only a limited number left in the Associated Book Store, according to Myrl Ott, business manager. June 10th is the last day that books will be held for those who have subscribed. They will then be sold, regardless of the subscriptions.
Many students ordered a number of books, but have not as yet called for them, and by doing this they are hindering others from getting books who were not so fortunate. According to Ott the greatest enjoyment of a graduate is to look over an El Rodeo when he’s “old and gray.”
The El Rodeo was whole-heartedly supported by the students at the Law and Dental schools. They bought more books than the entire Liberal Arts campus. Mr. Ott said, “This indicates
schools.”
According to the El Rodeo staff, prints of the graduation pictures in the El Rodeo can be purchased at the
FRIENDLY BUNCH BANQUET
The annual Friendly Hunch banquet will be held at University Church, Friday, June 5, at 6:00 p. m„ price 50 cents per plate. Alumnae members are coming back and all girls on the campus who have ever come to Friendly Bunch are invited to the banquet. Please sign on the poster near the “Y” mail box.
Choosing the wind-swept sands at Hermosa Beach as a setting, seventeen members of th Southern California Press Club ate, sang, talked and loked to the time of the breakers Tuesday night June 2. The occasion was the last meeting of the year combined with the initiation of the twelve newly elected members of the Club.
Scandal involving prominent students on the campus, particularly members of the Trojan staff, was broadcasted freely to the greatest enjoyment of all the old members and initiates. Each pledge was required to prepare aud read before the Club a sonnet or short feature story designed to reveal intimate bits concerning campus celebrities and judging from El Rodeo office for five cents each, the results, the latest bunch of pledges are of the highest type of detectively-inclined, scandal-distributing reporters.
At five-thirty those attending the meeting gathered at the Trojan office, where those in charge of the food had stacked up twenty-one lunches. Since there were but seventeen writers at the picnic, it is evident that there was food aplenty, even for the most starved member of the crowd. Those who loaded themselves into the five cars furnished by the men in the Club and made the trip to Hermosa were Dorothy Baker. Ralph Holly, Grady Setzler, Ted Elia«. Don Edwin. Rita Padway Consuelo Tachet. Clare Winger, Mamie Louise Leung, George Jordan, Don Pierce, Morris Foladare,

Tonight the Law Freshmen will virtually complete their year of social affairs when they gather at the Phi Alpha house for one of the most extraordinary stag parties aud smokers ever staged by a collegiate group. The younger lawyers have maintained a standard for big things and have become quite famous for their class activities this year. The purpose of tonight’s affair is to bring the class together in a final bit of recreation preparatory to the last cram for examinations and to further develop the spirit which was so successfully begun last fall.
According to Bill Barber, president of Lhe class, the smoker will be unique and unusual. Bill has worked consistently during the past semester in an effort to put it across and now has the highest type of entertainment arranged. Through Mr. Anderson ot the U. S. C. Atheletic Department, several high-powered athletic bouts have been obtained, including boxing, wrestling and fencing. Then there will be the guest of honor, Mr. Charles Gould, a professional comedian, noted for his stories and side-splitting comics. To offset the usaul drag between acts, a five-piece orchestra has consented to provide appropriate jazz. With all this there will be smokes, cigars, cigarettes and pipes, and plenty of characteristic refreshments. There will be more, but the committee must have its surprise for guests and declines to divulge any secrets.
While the party is being staged by the freshman class, who are all expected to attend, the upper classmen and faculty are invited and urged to be there. Assistant Dean, Charles Millikan, who is an ardent booster tor class functions among the law students, has promised to attend.
The smoker is planned for 7:45 at the Phi Alpha house, 700 West 28th the Trojan support of the off-campus 1 street. No closing limit has been set,
it being planned to have enough fun provided to keep the boys going as long as they desire to stay.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS AT THE U. S. C.?
When the girls playing hookey learned that the grass on their field between Condon hall and the Administration building had been cut, they couldn’t wait for the campus workmen to rake it. They went to H. M. Fisher, superintendent of grounds, procured a number of rakes and worked busily all afternoon under the hot sun. As a result, the field is raked, and the gardeners are very grateful to the girls for their help.
As a result of a recent argument at Oregon University the student paper has printed a list of the time worn traditions of that school. The list includes such one as; No smoking on the campus; and whenever you meet ; anyone say Hello.
NO PARKING FRIDAY
Captain Murray of the L’liiversi-ty Police Division has ordered that there be no parking on University Avenue between the hours of 8 a. m. and noon. Friday. All those who fail to comply with this order will be tagged.
EDITORS PLAY BALL
The annual baseball game between the editors of the Harvard Crimson and the Harvard Lampoon ended in a riot this year. When the Lampoon team arrived on the field thej- found copies of a Crimson “baseball extra” predicting victory for the Crimsons, and calling the Lampoons “low-minded humorists.” The papers were all burned, and only the timely arrival of the police saved the Crimson office from being wrecked.
