S.C. STUDENT WINS DANCINGCONTEST
Rosalind Williamson Receives
Cup for Solo Dance; Presented by Thomas A. Ince
Miss B.osalind Williamson, competing against five hundred of the best dancers in Southern California last Tuesday, won the handsome trophy presented by Thomas A. Ince for the best solo dance. The contest was staged on the spacious lawns of the Ambassador Hotel and was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic crowd. The cup won by Miss Williamson was a souvenir of “Those Who Dance,” Thomas Ince's latest screen success.
A Grecian dance was the number given by this charming dancer, whose pleasing way as much as her cleverness and grace made her the favorite she was. Miss Williamson's showing is truly remarkable for she competed on a few hours notice and wes the only contestant without her own orchestra. The large number of professional dancers and students of dancing colleges carried the competition far beyond the amateur class.
Miss Williamson has appeared before the students a number of times this year and has always pleased. Her work in the Extravaganza was one of the features of the program.

S. C. tradition.
Clare Kaufer, who has taken part in many U .S. C. productions, took the lead .the part of Simonetta, Botticelli’s model and ideal. Ellsworth Ross, also a prominent local Thespian, played the role of Botticelli, the artist, and the part of Pietro de Medici, Sim-onetta’s husband, was taken by Wil liam Scotten.
The entire proauction was under the auspirces of the Italian Club which is to be congratulated on its attempt to start a constructive art movement on the campus.

Unique Favors Ready For Junior-Senior Sport Event
Juniors and some Seniors are all pepped up over the coming Junior-Senior Sport dance scheduled to be given at the Alexandria Hotel next Saturday night.

The dress for the affair is to be informal—sport in other words, and everyone is asked to conform with this rule.

case, in leather. The program of the dance is inclosed within and held in place with a cardinal and gold ribbon.

If the remaining tickets which are supposed to be sold to Juniors only are not disposed of by next Thursday, the Juniors and Seniors may find some of the lower classmen amongst them at the party, because tickets are thrown open for everyone if they are not sold on that date.
A good orchestra has been arranged for, and with good music, classy favors, and a swell dance floor (the Alexandria Hotel) the Juniors and Seniors should have a bumper time, even though they did fight.

1923-24 MOST SUCCESSFUL MUSICAL YEAR IN UNIVERSITY
‘Frolics of ’24,” “Spring Maid,” and the Glee Club Campus Concert Outstanding Events; Women’s Club Artists Course Highly Successful
By CHET MACK!E
From a musical standpoint, this college year has been more successful, more active, and better than any of its predecessors and has paved a way for a still greater musical year for 1924-25. “The Frolics of 1924," “The Spring Maid,” and the Glee Club Campus Concert may be classed as the three outstanding musical e'vents of the year. The extravaganza must be ranked as the best of all the musical occurrences, for it was an original student production which required the efforts of over sixty students, It was a show that was a great deal better than some of the mu-
THREE INITIATED IN FORENSIC FRAT
Al Grieve, Ray Brennan and Bill Moore Taken Into Delta Sigma Rho
Al Grieve, Ray Brennen and Bill Moore from U. S. C., and Dr. Scott of Pomona College, end Douglas Mc-Phee, former Redlands debator, were formally initiated into Delta Sigma Rho, national debating fraternity on larst Thursday, May 28.
The initiation ceremony was conducted by Bernard Brennen president of the fraternity. Mr. Brennen was assisted by Roland Manxwel ,a former star debator from this University.
All of the men initiated have participated in the required number of debates or oratorical contests, a requisite before a man can be initiated.
After the initiation officers for the coming year were elected. Bernard Brennen was again elected president. The other officersr elected were: Bill Barber, vice-president, and Bill Moore, secretary-treasurer.
eical revues seen on the professional stage, and it w&s supported and appreciated by the student body.
The music, written by Al Wesson and Gene Johnson, was delightful and evidenced a high standard of syncopation. The numbers “Never Again,” “Autumn Time,” “Someone,” “Six and Seven Eighths,” and “When You Are Near” have not yet been forgotten and deserve exploiting and publication.
Except for Marjorie Thomas, the musical show had no outstanding singers, but the chorus and ensembles were effective and excellent. The singing of “Old Fashioned Boy’ and “Old Fashioned Girl” by Bronson Howard and Mildred Goudge were decidedly clever.
From an artistic point of view, “The Spring Maid,” the first production of the Opera Association, was the best musical attempt seen on the
Bovard stage. With a cast of eighty, the comic opera was elaborately staged and should have filled the auditorium to capacity. But an un fortunate choice in the date and a much delayed ticket sale made the show a financial failure.
Marjorie Thomas appeared in the leading role and was the outstanding person in the cant She possesses an attractive personality and pleasing voice, and she dominated the production as if a professional star. Arch McGee, as Roland, the English tragedian, scored a great triumph, and Rosalind Williamson, premiere danseuse, was excellent. J. R. Thomas, Ray Cowley, Edythe Koke, Edna Glass, Reva Hawkins, Jack Hild, Monrie Sharpless, Edgar Pritphard, Harvey Hastain, and Kenneth Shutts took leads and showed ability.
