“Twas the night after finals” that the School of Speech chose for the presentation of its annual play, which this year is to be “The Taming of the Shrew.” June 1G is the date and Bovard Auditorium is the place.
It is expected that crowds of weary but relieved students will take advantage of this chance to celebrate on the home grounds the release from all scholastic duties for a brief period of blessed and well-earned rest. Statements from those of the School of Speech who are in charge of the production this year assure the public that the general atmosphere of “The Taming of the Shrew” will be entirely in keeping with the joyous spirits of the students at this time. According to Miss Florence Hubbard, the play is rollicking, good comedy, and is a modernized interpretation which was used by Sothern and Marlowe in their popular presentation. The comedy parts are being particularly stressed, and are working out well in rehearsal.
The production is to be entirely a Speech production, and all work con nected with it being carried on through the co-operation of students and faculty. Miss Florence Hubbard is in charge of the general direction of the cast of twenty-five. Miss Gladys Wadsworth is handling the costuming, and Miss Tacie Mae Hanna is conducting the business and publicity, while Miss Elizabeth Yoder has been giving each member of the cast individual training in voice and diction.
Tickets for the play are now on sale at fifty cents. The sales campaign started this week with a contest between two teams headed by Mary Ella Brooks and Emily Herbert.

California Beauty Theme___
of Shrine Floral Parade
BY DON PIERCE
Answering a question as to the meaajftg of the word “parade” a grammar school youth replied that it was a prociwHaon of a lot of people who did not want to march which was watched by a lot of people who did not want to see IL True as this may be of some, parades it surely is erroneous when applied to the parade in honor of the Shriners by the school children of Southern California.
Hager throngs began to collect along Figueroa Street before the students started gathering for eight o'clock, and the thoroughfare was densely packed by ten o’clock. Many Southern California students were intermingled with the onlookers and took pardonable pride in telling all around whenever the float of their respective high school drifted by.
Preceding the parade two squadrons of motorcycle and mounted patrolmen cleared the street and then the Al Malaikah temple of Los Angeles followed with their band and drill team. Red and green uniforms vied with red and blue costumes for applause and some pretty drilling of an intricate nature brought forth many laudatory remarks.
Yo««g America as represented by Souther* California school children had charge of the main division of the parade, and the many beautiful floats testified to the skill of our educational cousins, the public schools of Los Angeles and vicinity.

The two leading characters,. Katherine and Petruchio, being portrayed by Josephine Campbell and Robert Rode appeared on the stage in a little skit.

‘•Child of the West” was the theme of division two. All of the various Indian tribes that lived in the West prior to the arrival of the Palefaces were honored. Menlo Avenue had a fine idea in their “Cliff Dwellers,” and Manchester Street School evidently spent much time and thought on their j conception of “The Altar of the Kach-inas.”
Days of '49 and the transcontinental f,old rush were vividly called to mind by “The Quest for Gold” which made up the third part of the parade. Polytechnic High School gave a representation of “The Last of the Incas” that made one muse on the old Spanish greed for tbe reddish-orange metal that composed their ornaments. San Pedro may also be commended for their model of a “Spanish Treasure Galleon.”
Attractions of California and beauties of the desert were painted masterly in division four which extolled the “Shores of the Pacific.” Virgil Junior High had a pleasant scene of Far Eastern tropics in “Java,” and 36th Street School told of old world romance in the adventures of “Kubla

Students who have had no experience and feel that they would like to work on El Rodeo may also file applications stating that they lack previous experience. These people will be given work to do in the various departments and may mention a preference if they desire.

Commencement activities and final examinations. it takes something out of the ordinary to thrill the harrassed upperclassmen. So the committee thought and thought, trying to plan some great social event to wind up the year with one great big splash.
‘Meet's give a Senior Snap and in-| vite the Juniors and have one—er fine tie,” suggested
Gamma Epsilon
Johnnie Woods with a flash of brillian<fy.
His plan was greeted with cheers and everyone began to offer suggestions. “Let's have it after the Ivy D#y exercises.” “And serve punch with a kick.” “We must have special j refreshments.” “For real jazz, Chet j Beard's Syncopators are sure the ba-; bies.” “We must have some real live j patrons.’
All these suggestions were passed 1 on favorably and many more features I added to make this a memorable fare- J well for the departing Seniors. And then—-they hit a snag!
Where should they hold it? Was
house.”
And so it is. All the Gamma Epsilon brothers are in a flurry of excitement over the honor done them and have even promised to sweep the front porch and hang Japanese lanterns for those that prefer outdoor dancing.	*
This is the last time the Seniors will have to mingle together before they leave the learned halls forever. (This is the clue to weep large glycerine tears.) It is the last time the Juniors will minprle with their lofty elders, for w'ill they not reach the pinnacle next year? So all ye upperclassmen gather together, that ye be happy while ye may, for who knows but that by this time next year many of us may be digging ditches and taking in washings, for such are the advantages of a college education.
All of which may be and has been boiled down ito a simple but weighty statement by Dorothy Halderman. vice-puresident of the departing class. “The Junior Senior Snap will be held at the Gamma Ep house Tuesday,
