The senior class of 1916 will establish a new precedent in making their last chapel day, which will be Fri-Pole Dance, Highland Fling, | day- May 2S- a dignified service in
Minuet, and Spanish Dances, Especially Well Received
The May Festival, the last social affair of the college year, in which was exhibited the talent of the music, physical education and art department, was held on the university campus W ednesday night.
The front lawn was converted by means of lighting and decoration into a fairy land into which came trooping the dancers and singers to appear before their queen who, seated upon her throne, was surrounded by maids, a bugler, a crown bearer, flower girls and pages. The queen was Miss Bernice McCurdy ’16, her maid of honor, Miss Grace W itherell 17. The maids in attendance were Misses Dorothy Sylvius '18. Margaret Clay ’19, Stella Lambert, Dorothy White, Ethel Rosin and Emma Thorman.
Exceptional Program The program was opened with a j pageant march and immediately following the crowning of the queen the Girls’ Glee Club sang. Then seven young women in flower costumes danced "The Call of Spring to the Flowers.” Then came the good old-time May Pole dance and the succeeding numbers, in order, were:
I place of the satirical affairs sometimes given by graduating classes.
The professors will be attired in caps and gowns, the women graduates in white dresses, and the men in white trousers and dark coats. The chapel will be profusely decorated with greenery.
Leland Holland will give the speech of w'elcome. “The Senior Ideal,” written by Gertrude Pentland will be read by Edla Magnuson. The college history will be given by Clifford Burr. An anthem will be sung by Mary Wilkes, Gertrude Pentland, Leland Rebber and Burnell Tunison; the farewell, written by Inez Marks, will be given with a violin obligato; and the prayer will be read by Theron Freese, with a choir response.

Those who failed to see Thomson break the record at Palo Alto or the famous dead-heat on the local track, to say nothing of the Thanksgiving football game, which was played by artificial light and almost resulted in a tie—those who missed all these will have it all made up to them if they will but take advantage of their oppor-unity to attend the Senior Faculty ball game this afternoon.
The faculty are placing all their hopes in a surprise attack. No one knows the personnel of their team. Some go as far as to say that their bleacher support will weaken as soon as the lineup is made public.
The seniors, on the other hand, make no secret of their identity. Captain Clark gave out who his team would be at the beginning of the week. The only develooment in this line has been the emphatic denial outfielder Burr that he would appear in uniform.
“I will not play,” said Burr when interviewed by the “Trojan" reporter “Captain Clark has made no arrange ments with me.”
It is rumored that Leo Livernash will try to fill Burr's place.

As a climax to the year’s work, next Tuesday morning at 9:50 the Y. M. C. A. will hold its farewell service.
It will be Senior day, and a number of senior celebrities will be put on exhibition. The gentlemen in question will indulge, for perhaps the last time at U. S. C., in lofty eloquence and flowery oratory.
Arthur Chapman, of presidential fame; Leo Livernash, athlete; Emory Olson, star debater, and Homer W atson, champion L’. S. C. yell leader, will speak.

The election is over. The returns are in. In one of the closest elections in the history of the university Manfred Evans, by a bare 43 votes, defeated Clifford Hughes and Voltaire Perkins in the race for the Student Body presidency.
Evans piled up a big lead at Liberal Arts, which Hughes could never quite overcome with his professional college vote. Evans beat Hughes at Liberal Arts by a count of 297 to 82. Hughes carried Dental five votes to Evans' one, with Perkins just three votes behind second man. Almost a similar percentage held for Pharmacy. Evans took Music, but lost Law by a vote of 120 to 79. Perkins followed a close third with seventy votes. Fine Arts voted unanimously for "Perk," who also beat Hughes at Liberal Arts 147 to 82.
_ The outcome of the race for the “Trojan" managership is yet in doubt. At twelve o’clock last night Morse was leading Brockman by fifteen votes—519 to 504—with Fine Arts yet to be heard from. Should Fine Arts come unanimous for Brockman, as it did for Perkins, a tie will result, which will necessitate another election.
Brockman, like Evans, took a big lead at Liberal Arts. He suffered loss at all the professional colleges, with the exception of Music. The vote was quite close at Law.
Unanimously elected were Esther Welch, vice-president; Esther Hanning, secretary; Ralph Jayne, treasurer; Phil Murray, “Trojan” editor; Ed Marxen, athletic manager; Alvin Wendt, debate manager.
For executive committee of Liberal Arts Earle Garde, George Haight, Walter Watson, Clifford Henderson, Ruth Burnight, Luther Sharp, Ruth Watson, Nora Epler, Wendell R. La Due, Arthur Kent, Betty Follen, Ben Oertly and Helen Wallace were elected.
I'or the executive committee at I.aw, Mark Herron, Earl Haskins, Ben Shepard, Mollie Doran, Richard (ilass, Eugene Blancke. were elected.
Executives elected at Medicine were Janies Beckett and William Chapman; at Dentistry, Jack Schruggs and Clarence Beebe; at Theology, Fred Trotter; at College of Oratory, Walter Spaeth; at Music, Erma Parker and Marjorie Schoeller; Pharmacy, Edna Kerrick.
I'or ‘ I rojan” hoard of control no definite returns are in.
It seems probable that Homer Watson, Ben Oertley, and Karl Thompson were elected to the Athletic board of control.
