Wild Night Plan of Junior Host In Class Fiesta
Janitor to Play Important Roll in Tonight's Gory Affray
FEET are all twisted
Professional Colleges to Give Pep to Evening
News Hounds Go To Santa Ana
It is to be
Sport feet? Yes! !
Sport feat? Yes! !
Sport fate? Yes! !
AU of that and more the biggest, noisest collection and demonstration of sport ever brought forth by the junior class. It is to be iport from the time the janitor opens the door until the time he hauls in his broom and sweeps out, nothing else than a mad flare of the sportiest, rom-plest, frolickiest sport.
Busy Janitor To get back to the janitor he will open the big front door under the arch wav at the Friday Morning Club, as the clock strikes seven and a half. At that moment he will find thronged at the door three or four juniors. Five minutes later the limos and lizzies and Huntington specials will f>egin to roll in and the throng will thicken. Ten minutes later when the clock is striking seven ana three-quarters the throng will be herded aimlessly Inside. Spreading the latest scandal and gossip, the trumpets and dymbals will sound and the crowd will form itself into the grandest of grand marches and will parade itself around and around to the tune of "Ima Sport R U”?
Everyone Sports
Following in quick succession will be contests Act I. Sport Feet. Speed will be the motto of the contests.
Act II. Sport Feat—and some wonderful and daring feats in the way of entertainment will be put on by Sphinx and Snakes, Spooks and Spokes, Dental and others. Billy Heinze is in charge of a vaudeville program which promises to come up to expectations.
Not to forget the janitor, all this time he is standing around with his corn cob in hand, and jaw hung open in blank amazement. At this juncture he ducks his head and shifts onto the lobby as a thousand balloons and serpantines, more or less, begin to tall upon him. The clock strikes ten or maybe ten and a quarter.
Oents in Lobby Act III. Sport Fate. Fate has decreed that our brothers the Dents are to entertain after the main program, in the lobby and reception rooms. The dentals have a particular kind of a program which they wish to present, it being nothing less than a dance, and the Liberal Arts and Law juniors are queening them of late so they can get in on the party.
Soon the clock strikes so many times that our old friend the janitor t« unable to count, because he is so sleepy and bored, and he shuffles off to hia den and pile of straw, leaving
the juniors to their-.
Act IV. Sport Fete—! ! ! Meaning a super party with the best time •Possible for every single Junior in V. 8. C.
Tickets Going Fast
Tickets are 75 cents, and may be '•ought from any of the committee Members. The various’ committees “ave been hard at work on this affair, and the results of their work are sure to be worth the effort. Archie Thornton and Mr. Petersen have been “elping Hilly Heinze on the program; Lindley Hothwell found some good eats and helped Gladys Crail on advertising and publicity. Mona Bethune and iss Loras have charge of the decorating. Floyd Tarr and Charlotte Ras-“11. finance, and Ruby Fuller and John Robinson games.
The chief credit for the promised •uceess of the party is due to Albert Butterfield and Reta Walker, preBi-®®nt aud vice-president of the class.
Shh! We’re going to Santa Ana! Thanks for the congratulations, but you don't understand! No romance— we’re just going to publish the Santa Ana Register for one day. The rest of the Trojan staff is going along—and so is Mr. Goodnow, so we'll all come back together—and single.
We are going to make Santa Ana booster for U. S. C.’s Journalism class, as well as learn a lot of practical knowledge from a real newspaper.
Winifred Varner Manager
Miss Varner will—yes, Winifred— will be managing editor, with Lew Wiles as her associate worker. Gladys Crail and Sarah Taft Somers will care for Santa Ana’s elite society, while Ercll Adams will patrol the chamber of commerce and city hall. “Duke” Busby will interview the county clerk, the district attorney, and the justice of the peace.
Movie Stars, Maybe
L. Kling Stoddart is hoping that if Bebe Daniels, the motion picture star who was sentenced to ten days in jai for speeding through the county, is denied an appeal and must serve her sentence, she will be obliged to do so during the days including the 30th, as his “beat” will be the court house and the jail. He w’as granted that route by his special request.
"Wampy” Wesson will be telegraph editor, while Josephine Clancy will cover the city and county hospitals Muriel Arkley will be country editor with Dorothy Cole, Al Tachet and Lowell Jesson as desk editors.
Because of past successes at other cities, Santa Ana expects a lot from us, we are told. We have heard of Santa Ana, too, and we expect a great deal from her—in the news line, how ever.
Some Leave Friday
Louise Kidson, Sarah Taft Somers, Winifred Varner and Lew Wiles will leave Friday, to “prepare for the morrow.” Saturday morning at seven o’clock everyone must be on hand to start digging up the stories, which must be iu before 2:10, the dead line time.
The advertising class will solicit ads on Saturday, April 23, for the following Saturday’s paper. Their success will determine the size of the paper put out on the 30th. Sixteen pages is the number now estimated.
lEE'S WRESTLERS ARE EAGER FOR MATCHES
Coach Lee predicts bright prospects for the wrestling team, because of the exceptionally good showing that Hori Porter, Varney and Pastare made in the national championship contests These men were pitted against the best amateur talent in the country. Should favorable replies be received from the challenges sent to Pomona. S. B. U. C. and other schools, several more men will be needed, because of the fact that the present team is only composed of the 125, 135 and Impound classes.
An organization of the varsity and freshman swimming teams has also been completed, Hitchburn being made captain of the varsity. Plans are now under way to perfect a schedule with other Southern California universities, but in case this should not be completed, the varsity will combine wit’i the frosh to meet the following challenges: Huntington Park, Redondo and San Diego High Schools. In a rerent meet, Hitchburn, Taylor, Buck, Mudge and Von Mohr showed up well. The two teams are practicing In the L. A. A. f plunge.

Honor System Receives
Endorsement of Powers
By Louise Kidson
That tho inauguration of the Honor will have a very beneficial effect on
student morale. Professor Marston, of the economics department, is one of the most loyal supporters of the system, and heartily endorses its use at U. S. C.
