Unprecedented sales of the Yellow Dog were reported by the eighteen Sigma Sigma pledges that swept the S. C. campus last Friday morning. The money garnered by the activities of the pledges stationed in the schools of Liberal Arts, Law. Dentistry, Commerce, and Pharmacy was reported to be $236.
Grant La Mont, dressed in a combination sailor and old maid’s costume, led the sales force in the number of Yellow Dogs sold. It was La Mont who sold 100 copies of the sheet before the other Sigma Sigma pledges got into the spirit of the campaign. Every Dog was sold by 10 a.m.
The costumes worn by the pledges of the Honorary Society were decidedly unique and stirred up considerable excitement when they appeared on the campus. Ed Murray, editor of the El Rodeo, tripped forth before the astonished students dressed in rompers and a blonde wig. Lee Conti, “Trojan” editor wore a combination undertaker’s and golfer’s costume, while Freeman Hall and George Jordan presented themselves as sweet young flappers. The outfits worn by other pledges were of a similarly startling nature.
The sale of the Yellow Dog proved highly successful from a financial angle. Since the approximate cost of the printing of the Yellow Dog was $100, there will be enough of a margin left over from the sale to wipe out the existing debt of the Sigma Sigma organization.

The date of the formal initiation for 1 the pledges of Sigma Sigma has not yet been decided upon.

Amid a great clamor, some forty Engineers departed from the “Old Barn * Thursday morning, for the Forks of the San Gabriel, where they examined from mountain tops and deep gulches, the various sites proposed by the County of Los Angeles and the City of Pasadena for the huge dam that is to be constructed to prevent floods and drought.

Edwards in addition to being head of one of the largest contracting companies on the Pacific Coact is a most interesting lecturer. His advice to the graduating engineer is to be honest at all times; w’ork hard and have a perpetual sense of humor.
Kipling’s “Sons o< Mary” was the conclusion chosen by Edwards, which made a tremendous hit with the fifty students that were present.
