To The Editor
Fiesta Room. Ambassador Hotel, March 21: To the Editor of the Daily Trojan: A wow of a time was enjoyed by all present at the Interfraternity formal. By interfraternity formal Is meant a dance social where the actives of Sigma Chi and Kappa Alpha are formally introduced to all their pledges for the first time.
The beauty of the Fiesta room was charmingly relieved by the absence of corsages. So were the finances of fraternity troubadors. Only one casualty occurred when a starched front dress shirt broke from its moorings and smacked into a lovely coed on the spur of the moment. Much relief can be added to the next affair if all dress shirts were required to be anchored.
Some of the pledges were rather self-conscious. Most of them looked as If they were expecting someone who was not going to stow up. And the most stunning gown worn was a form fitting creation of hand-soaked taffeta, trimmed with peeved whippet, and set off by artistic splashes of pomegranate seeds.
Yours for less wear and tear.

A few days later, they adopted a temporary constitution and by-laws, elevating the following officers: Dr. George Finley Bovard, '83, now President-Emeritus of S. C.; vice-president, Miss Minnie C. Miltimore, '84; secretary, George Sinsahaugh, '85; and treasurer, Miss Eve F. Walton, '85.
The university itself was five years old when the first Alumul Association was formed, classes having commenced in October, 1880.
Following the plan of the founders of the Alumni Association, a leuuic/n of the members with the new graduates was held Informally each year during the commencement week. In 1924, an organized homecoming program was held in the fall for the first time,

A.E.P.L eads In Sorority Scholarship
The annual junior class play will be presented Friday of this week in Boverd auditorium with Helen Pargellis playing the leading role of Lady Catherine Dester In this three-act comedy by Kane Comp-bcll. The production is scheduled to start at 8:15 and is under the direction af W. Ray MacDonald, university play director.
Miss Pargellis, who Is a member of Zeta Phi Eta, national honorary dramatis sorority, and of National Collegiate Tlayers, appeared ln tho School of Speech play, “Dear Brutus,” presented last June, nnd played the lead In the Shakesperean play three years ago. In “The Enchanted April” she plays the part of a bored young society woman, who seeks solitude because she wants to come to a conclusion, and ends up by falling in love.
Opposite Miss Pargellis will be seen Ray Brooks as Thomas Briggs, the young artist, whose Mediterranean villa furnishes both the plot and the locale of the play. Brooks has had considerable dramatic experience in hibh school, although he has never appeared in a campus production before.
The play is presented in three acts all of which are laid in the villa; a prologue, which takes place in London starts the action.
Four women decide to rent a villa on the Mediterranean for the month of April, in order to get away from everything. The villa and the weather are so lovely that all four women come under the spell and their dispositions change materially until all are happy.
Lady Caroline Dester and Briggs Iron out their misunderstandings; Lotty and her husband fall ln love all over again; Rose and her husband are reconciled; and even Mrs. Fisher is sweetened. Others in the cast besides Miss Pargellis and Brooks are Doris Henry, Mary Reasoner, Fred Phleger, Renee Lambert, Virginia Barber, and Jerome Ehrlich.
