' l H \KMIN(i INTERPRETATION
THE 1925 YUCCA of most iheeiuult roi.k
RANKING 3 PER
CENT OF COLLEGE
According to the Yucca -taff of our
college, unusual progress in being
made thin year toward the completion
of the yearbook The Yucca at 'his
time has off about .‘>0 |H*r cent of t!ie
engraving A short discussion an t i
the plan of the annual thi* year might
lie of interest.
The color setting of the Yucca i- to
l>e in brown and orange; n three color
combination will he old lined by u-ing
black type This color sitting i- sim-
ple and is being curried out on the
Spanish motif basis. Thin will be car-
ried out on the fir-t pages of the h .>k.
the main division page , together with
a considerable number of -ubdivi-inn
page The page- in t hi * year's an-
nual will vary considerably fr<»n
those of last year. Tli • plan i- to
work them up in a harmonizing tint
not yet decided upon. The Faculty
Section of the Yucca virtually has
la en complete; all cla.-- engraving lia-
ison completed; the copy for the prin-
ter has already lieen prepared. The
(dun for the athletic ection has been
changed considerably from that of
la-t year For the football group,
bust pictures are lieing used instead
of full-size pictures, and panel oic-
ture.« are being used instead of i idi
vidual pictures. The pictures of the
captains of the various athbtic teams
this year are lieing run on subdivi-
-ion page-. The staff is imping to lie
able to run a photogravure section of
-onte sixtei n pages, the plan lieiog to
ran this in a tint. The college life
section is lieing worke I up in much
the same way us it was last year;
emphasis, however, in so far as |*os
sihle is lieing paced on the illustra-
tions. In this section will lie run the
pictures of the lecturers, singers, und
other notables who huve appeared be
fore the student body from time to
time. The co-operation of the student
Isidy is especially needed in prepar-
ing this college life section. Picture'
of the different phases of college life
are needed: boarding house activities,
kodak excursions, etc. All sorts of
pictures that go tieyend the pale of
conventionalities can Ik* used the pro-
bability lieing that these will lie tran-
ferred to the facts and folli**- section.
The favorite -ection is to lie work* d
up in a mirror design, one leige p •-
ture lieing run for each favorite. In
the recent election for the selection of
favorites, over fiOO students voted. In
practically eveiy race the vote wa-
rather close. Besides this the only
thing that the stuff is announcing at
this time is that three boys and three
girls were elected. A football player
was elected as the l**«t all around
I mi) , (Only five boys were in this race
and they were all fmitball player'*.

“Dulcy" was presented Thursday
night hy the Lillie Bruce Dramatic
Club to a laige and enthusiastic audi-
ence.
The diff’rult part of Dulcy, a well-
meaning hut blundering young wife,
was done in finished anil understand
ing manner by Mis.- I.ucile Aisworth.
The bubbling and persistent enthusi
asm of Dulcy was kept at a high ebb
throughout the play. Miss Ains-
worth’s captivating portrayal of Dul
cy’s innocent and always misdirected
enthusiasm won the instant and affec-
tionate approval of the audience.
The role of C. linger Forbes, a bris-
tling, irritable and absolutely frigid
business man was admirably done hy
V. H l.igon. The frigidity of Mr
F’orbes even subdued Du ley's bubbling
enthusiasm on occasion- Mr. I.igon's
work was sensational, his complete
gruffness approaching that of Theo
'lore KnU-rts. The role of Schuyler
Van Dyke, the eccentric character,
was done hy Mark Hamilton in his
inimitable style. The highly ue.sthetic
and sensitive qualities of the drawing
room rogue were done by Mr. Hamil-
ton in a vivid and understanding man
ner.
The part of Mrs. Forben, the -hal-
low and nnpre-sionahle society worn
an. wa played hy Mi- Louise (lay
Miss Gay’s work in the part of the
weak and dominated wife of Forties
was very reali-tic.
Angie Fleming, in the part of the
young debutante daughter of the
Fort**, was very well cast. Her com
plete oblivion to everything that wa-
hap|M-ning except the object of her in-
fatuation was obvious.
Ton Sterrett, Ang'linn's jilted lov
er and Forties' secretary, was done by
Henry Williams. Sterrett's disgu-t
at Leach and peevishness at Angelina
were the outstanding part of Mr Wil
barns' portrayal.
The role of the victorious lover and
brother of Dulcy wa- taken hy Basil
l.ondon. Mr. London’s love genes,
while not a- touching as those of Vin-
cent Leach, were in the end the most
effective.
Vincent I,each, the ronreited “see
narist," was done in an exceptional1)
clever manrer by Sam Davis. The un-
bounded egoism of this phararter pro-
voked much merriment from the audi
enee and the unbounded -corn of Mr.
F'orlies,
Gordon Smith, the hu-hand of Dul
cy, was well done by T. P. White He
was utterly helpless liefore the med-
dlesome enthusiasm of hi- wife.
Blair Patter-on. the young lawyer
who exposed the great Schuyler Van
Dyck, was d'-ne in an able manner by
Jack Gale.
Cecil Butler adequately filled tin* po
sition of Henry the butler.
The entire play wa- a very eff ctive
.md artistic presentation.

SENIORS PRESENT ,
PAGEANT MONDAY
An impressive pageant entitled
‘Follow the (ileum” wu- presenter!
at chapel Monday morning by the
Senior Cla-.-. It was written hmi ar-
ranged by Mc.--i .. George Medders
. nil Mark Hamilton.
An all) gorirul picture of college life
was presented by thrl Combination of
an appropriate setting, striking co*-
'ume- and Isautilul words hlended
with a -uitahle niu-ic d nceom. .ui-
nent plaved hy Mi-s Ruby Smith.
The setting- of the three scene* were
laid just outside the ,’t tuple of Knowd
edge. Morning, noon, evening und
night were represented by the four
years of college life.
In the garden wall there were three
gates, one leading from the world and
frivolity, another leading to -ueeess
and the realization of high ideals and
bet we n the e there was the lofty por
tal of the Temple of Knoyydi'dge
The part of the Keeper of the Gar
den "f Knowledge was done in an im
pre-sive manner by Mr Medders.
Groups of activities, literature, his
lory, music and art, mathematics, vo-
cational science and education wen*
each repre.-i nted by a guide. These
guiiie- wen* costumed In togas of
brilliant colors, lavender, blue, white,
orange and yellow and the grouping
of these was e-peeially effective.
While a discontented youth ami a
tempted maiden from the world with
out were resting ill the garden, the
mister figure of "Worldly l.un*" was
ecu to vault over the garden wall
and east a |n*ll over tin* gate keep
ei who guariled the gHrih n from th*
frivolity of the outside world. "World
ly I,ure," played hy Mark Hamilton,
I hen o|iem*d the gates and a host of
reveler- poured into the ganlen. Ja/.z,
lung, dope, style, beauty, cheap lit-
erature, vanity and folly de-eerated
and overran the garden. As the dis-
contented youth and tempted maiden
were about to be lured bark into the
world of revelry the gardener re-
turned and banished Worldly l.un* and
hi.- reveler from the -arred preeinet*
of hi Garden of Knowledge.
During thi- -cene the "Singing
Girt," Rena Mm* Waggoner, clad in a
• luaint peasant costume ang the song
of a eollege youth to the tune of a
plaintive gypsy melody. Isiui-e Smith
and Hazel Kirkpatrick, who n*pn*
ented "Art" did a charming dance
around the fountain and in the ren-
ter of the garden.
In the la-t scene th* discontented
youth and tempted maiden had Ie
come impressed with the wealth of
oententrm nt and real happiness th
Knowledge offer- them They were
entranced by the song of th** choir,
which with the beautiful lighting ef
firt- and organ accompaniment wa*
most inipre -ive. The gardener thin
ushered the youth and > a 'ten into the
Temple of Knowledge, while using the
words of Richard Hovey:
"I do not know bene.uh what sky
Not what <a -hall Is* their fate;
I only know it shall lie high,
I only know it -hall he great.”
The S<nior de-erve rreat credit and
the appreciation of the entire student
body nr their work in this unusual
|*ertaele The college is proud of its
talent and thankful for the «ffort“ of
tho-« who make thc-e things possible
EAGLES DEFEAT
DALLAS Y. M. H. A.

girls. Every member of a team who
makes a “T" is entitled to an Eagle

Wilding up thi* festivities of Sen-
ior Week in one grand climax, the
Senioi (’lass, as a Isidy, journeyed to
Dalla for ii theater party at the t’ir
clo IT ■; ter Saturday afternoon.
.Meeting at noon at the interurimn
t'lt.on the festive crowd chaperon*'I
hy “Dun t’upid” was -ism entiaineil
and th, trip down was made without
event, if the wonder which the red
and v, h te decorated cars, occasioned
the inhabitants of Di lias, ran op dix-
m*arded.
Aft'*r gathering <n the waiting
loom, a few intrepid spirit led the
jeuinr to the Dali:.- New Iniilding,
when* th* ninety members ,*f the
clo - were divid* I into three oh.-, i a-
tii n g mips. The * groups In .ected
• i ious proce e. relatives to tK
printing of the News from the radio
to the giant presses, discovering as
they pa -«*<l through the reportorial
department James Edwards, un old
Indent here ami ex-editor of tne
Chat who lias ls*en with the Journal
tor over a year now.
Emerging from the News building
the rlas- was dismissed until S:00 at
whirh Dine they were to meet at the
< ele. In the ensuing hours, thn
................ of tile various memliers
is a mystery and nnv inquiry is met
by blank stares and stony silence,
particularly in the ruses of Jack Gale,
John Ashbum and Cameron Seurbor-
ough, concerning whom vague rumors
are afloat. This mueh is known, how-
ever, that these “dignified” Seniors
were -eon with other unnamed inem-
tiers nf the class, about <1:45 prowling
the treels and inquiring for dime
vaudeville. However, no blame can
attach to tin- purt of *neir afternoon
lor Mr. Medders and Din ('upid were
two of the unnamed member* of the
group
Gut* ering it the Circle, the Sen
mis v itnessed un exciting melodrama
(Dan Cupid even claiming to he in
fear of his life due to the firing of
lla* guns). Gradually getting his
breath after the final curtain the'*
made their way hack to the station,
where ihe ears were boarded and tl t
trip home begun. No sleep was u
lowed i.r pit** the latene - of the hour,
paiticu. uly aiming th** "Isiys” in the
-iii**sei. Singing, led hy th** falsetto
quartet, was the prineipid sport of the

them, the trip was a fitting climax to
a wonderful week and such minor

gotten.
