Ross has arranged with Miss Hub- Meris Fish, Louise Mitchel, Lucille
bard, who will direct the plav, to hold cast tryouts next Friday at three o'lock in the Touchstone Theatre. The juniors who would like a part in the production are asked to report to the School of Speech at that time. According to Miss Hubbard, there are thirteen splendid parts and only through keen competition can a good cast be chosen.
“This production offers an unusual opportunity for the showing of talent. Such is the importance of the roles that a good cast is absolutely necessary to make a success of the production. “We ask that all juniors who are at all interested in dramatics try for a part,” said Miss Hubbard.
The play committee is to be publicly thanked by the junior class for their earnest and untiring efforts in the selection of the play. The committee consisted of Selwyn Levivnson. Genevieve Mulligan.

All but two male character parts have been cast. Those chosen for the cast are: Viola Burgess, Grant LaMont, Hank McCann, Ruth Burns, Roberta Martin, Barbara Wilson, Jerry Young, Dick Clopine.
“Now that we are sure of the cast, and chorus we can get down to business and run our rehearsals through smoothly,” Hank said yesterday. “Gene Johnston’s music is making a great hit with the chorus—and that’s a good sign.

"Let no man despise thy youth,” was the text of the speech made by the Reverend Walker John Sherman, pastor of the Central Methodist Church of San Francisco. Rev. Sherman showed how the war had awakened the youth of today, “Liars" was also the subject of discussion in the speech. Dr. Sherman stated that the old of today were faithful while the youth of today were audacious. He defined faith as successful auda city.
Dean Skeele of Che College of Music rendered an organ selection, “Variations of American Airs,” by Flacker. The student body applauded but Dean Skee'e declined to give an encore.

Delta Pi was awarded the cup pre- j sented this year for the first time by Pan-Hellenic organization of women's fraternities for the highest average of scholarship during the past year.
The winning score was based on the j average of the highest scholarship for j the two semesters, that of Delta Pi J being 8" 5 as against 85.4 the next j highest score.
The race for the cup was close be-tween Delta Pi and Iota Sigma 1 heta, the two local sororities of the cam- j pus. For the first semester of last . year. Iota Sigma Theta was in the; lead of all sororities with a standing of 88.4, but during the last semester j of the past year dropped to 82.4, making their average two points below that of Delta Pi who scored 85.3 for the first half and S9.8 during the last.
The awarding of the cup this year is an innovation and will be continued on from year to year, the cup going to the sorority holding the highest records. The award is to be suitably engraved, T>ut on no account will the cup become the permanent property of any organization, as is often the ca<e in such matters when holding for three successive years entitles the winners to the prize.

At ten on Tuesday morning about forty men—the varsity football team— managed to push and pull their way 1 through the crowd around the train | to the balcony above the main waiting-room of the Southern Pacific station. To greet them wras the band, the student-body president, Ned Lewis, Hank McCann, yell-king, and, perhaps two thousand wild-eved Trojan individuals who were there either with or without their professor’s permission.
After a crew of over anxious Trojans ’had rushed t*he main gate and after three or four false alarms were sounded that the train was in sight, it came at last! The fellows looked tired, but they carried with them the quiet satisfaction that the job which they were to do was w’ell done.
Someone remarked when it was all over, that over-confidence seemed lacking. That the team knew they had done well, but that they fully realized what kind of a road lay before them.
