EXTRAVAGANZA PLAYERS OUTLINE FORMER WORK
__—— ^ Charlyn Tedrick and Berwyn Riske Have Appeared in Past Successes; Stars Make Admirable Team in Follies Leads.
BY KARMIWYCKOFF
“Well, really, I haven’t done anything unusual.” That was the reply of both Charlyn Tedrick and Berwyn Riske, leads in "Nautical Novelties of ’28,” in answer to a query as to what other activities
---*they had participated in.
Both Miss Tedrick and Miss Riske are known among the members of the cast and friends for their lack of desire for attention and publicity and of conceit These admirable traits of modesty and unassuming natures are as welcome as they are rare.
“Pretty Little Thing” and “Paper Doll” are two of the three duets which they sing in “Novelties.” Their voices harmonize successfully in these numbers while the range and timbre of their singing complement each other for pleasing effects. In addition to the duets each has two or more solos which will include support by the chorus of co-eds in fanciful dress and snappy revue dancing.
Not only does the singing ot Miss Tedrick and Miss Riske mark their work in the stellar roles for the musical production, but their dancing is characterized by unbroken rhythm, personality, pep and precision, a combination which makes for the success of any tersichorean number.
TEDRICK ACTIVE When the charming reserve of Miss Tedrick had once been broken it was found that she has distinguished herself in musical activities though she is only a sophomore in the College of Music. In campus (vents, the fact that she is Just a lower division student in a professional school has limited somewhat her range of activities. Time for extra-curricular affairs for students in professional colleges is more limited than that of Liberal Arts members. Miss Tedrick devotes most of her time to piano study and is working for a degree from the musical school.	“

Ten New Writers Feature Wampus; Coulthard Supplies Appealing Cover.
Ten new humorists are contributing to the March number of the Wamp, which will appear on the campus next Tuesday. Jessica Heber, humor editor of the feline publi-catoin, says that if more humor keeps coming in the title page of the Wamp will foe a regular telephone directory of new humorists.
A certain “B. A. B.” is due for many worthy compliments as soon as he appears at the Wamp office, according to Miss Heber. "B. A. B.” as the individual signs his copy, has contributed one of the cleverest yarns of the year, a satire on “Campus Etiquette."
Tommy Wamp's proverbial prowl on the Trojan lawn will be heralded by the “hottest cover of the year,” a summer affair drawn by John Coulthard. Coulthard’s humor is perennially fresh and the new cover is destined to imbue the true summer spirit into the somewhat spring dreary Trojan campus.
•v Jokes will abound in the March Wamp. The only cry heard during past months in the Wamp office has been “more Jokes, more jokes.” This month, however, with the ten new jokesters springing up from nowhere, all is changed. Those contributing include Ruth Rubin, Kathleen Jones, /‘B. A. B.” Phyllis Richmond, Harry Kusnick, Tom Loughan. Marge Strong “M.” Henry Gray and Clarence Clarke.
