Pierce and University of Miami. Enjoy Sight-seeing Trips In The Moonlight. Specialty Number an Unusual Attraction ^ The Glee Club returned to DeLand Friday afternoon after a five-day concert tour along the East Coast of southern Florida. According to the original plan the return trip was to have been made on Thursday, but during the tour Jimmie Rodgers, business manager, secured an engagement for a concert in Ft. Pierce Thursday night. During the tour the club sang five times: Monday night at the Riverside Baptist Church of Miami; .^Tuesday right at the NorL;_;_.e __ap~ tist Church; Wednesday night at the First Baptist Church of Homestead; Thursday night at the First Baptist Church of Ft. Pierce; Tuesday morning they gave a short concert at the chapel service of the University of Miami. Each night the club sang before a packed and appreciative house and received a liberal offering. It may be said that Chan Johnson, the club president, was the individual "hit" of the program, tho this honor must be almost equally divided with Miss Margaret Morrison who was exceedingly popular with all audiences. Perhaps if the crowds had been predominantly masculine instead of predominantly feminine the tables would have been turned. The most popular numbers .•''•inav program were those sung hy,n I' male quartet consisting of Jd.: ph Bustamente (commonly --. known as "Busty"), Chan Johnson, Paul Haller, and John Clinton. Their comedy number entitled "Mrs. Win- slow's Soothing Syrup" was the laugh feast ofjeve.r_i-/;npQ,?,.f j.—r wm j ill and Myles Roberts.

Mr. Robert- hails from Zolfo, Florida, and although a very quiet and unassuming fellow, he is always willing to lend the helping hand, and is an all-round "good fellow." Chi chapter is mighty gad bo announce the pledging of these two men. Tom Smith returned from Tallahassee last Monday where he attended the legislature now in .session there. Tom reports a very intei'esting time, and a trip that anyone should take advantage of if possible. John Weatherford came back from Tallahassee with Tom, but of the program. In spite of his "newborn and fast-growing mustache" Harlowe covered himself with glory. The most notable work done by the club was the cantata "I Hear America Singing" taken from the poem of that title by Walt Whitman, the music for which was composed by Harvey B. Gaul of Pittsburg, Penn. Hence this i_ an entirely American production and is quite modern both in spirit and composition. Between concerts the members of the club were busy being entertained. After the concert Monday night they went to the Olympia and then to the beach for a drive in the moonlight. Jimmie Rodgers had arranged sightseeing trips for Tuesday morning and afternoon, and after the concert Tuesday night the entire club chartered a boat and went for a ride down to Cape Florida and out into the ocean. It was a never-to-be-forgotten experience and perhaps the most enjoyable single feature of the entire trip. Wednesday morning the party went to Miami Beach and had a swim. Besides the regular members of the club those taking the trip wvre Mrs. Bill Gunby, Mrs. Jack Jolly; Miss Muriel Mahony, Hewen Lassiter, and Bruce Dedge. There were some who were inclined to question Mr. Dedge's eligibility for the tour but he affirmed that he attends all Glee Club practices so it was voted to accept him as a member-in-law of- the club.

While the plaintiff gained a verdict of $3,0 0 in a suit for $5,000, the features of the case that entertained and instructed the many spectators were introduced by the defense. An inkling of what the first of these was to be came when at the time for the swearing of the witnesses Attorney Sanchez arose and stated that the defendant could not speak English and that an interpreter would have to administer the oath to her. When ,the plaintiff had rested, Lenea Stromberg in the part of Fanny Weeks took the stand. Morris Duane, acting as the interpreter, repeated the oath to her in German, and she assented thereto. From then on her examination went as follows: A reply in lffq, etaoin etaoin etaoin question in English by her attorneys. A translation of the question by Duane, a reply in Swedish by Fanny Weeks, a retranslation into strongly accented English by Duane. As this j went on the courtroom became con- | vulsed and frequent calls for order j were made by the sheriff.

Ask Chan about the Miami U. blonde. presence was instructive as well amusing Jo the spectators. The ne _t witness, Charlotte Farrington in the role of a twelve year old girl, caused more laughter, not only because of the curls down her back and 'her childish voice, but also because of the naive way in which she was treated by counsel. Plaintiff's witnesses, Harlan Kelley, Larry Bernard, and Jack Ross as Chief Bibby, as well as defendant's given credit for 'their realistic interpretation of their roles, but the outstanding feature Of the day were the performances on the stand of Lenea Sternberg and Charlotte Farrington. Counsel on both sides showed that their training this year in Moot Court has been productive of fine results. All four handled the case as' if they had been at the bar for many years. Orientale, and Last Tuesday immediately after the chapel services, ballots were distributed among the Stetson students and .votes were cast for May Queen. On Saturday, April 30, the girl who received the highest vote will be crowned Queen of the May, and the one with the next largest number of votes will be her Maid of Honor. Until then the results of the election will be kept secret. In the mean time, the members of the Y. W. C. A. are earnestly and diligently working to make this May Day event the most spectacular in the history of Stetson University. The entertainment will take place on the Stetson campus between DeLand and Chaudoin halls. Mrs. McGregor is directing the nageant and the May Day chairmen, Barbara Hines and Zephyr Thorpe, are constantly at work to see to it that the whole celebration will be a success. ii HE BOOMERANG," SENIOR CLASS PLAY EST ONE EVER AT STETSON IS OPINION OF THOSE WHO WITNESSED PRESENTATION Laughable Affair Filled With Humorous Situations.

The batter hit Hto shortstop Wallace who threw to H second to nip the man there, and the S second baseman then made a perfect O throw to first to catch the batter. Harrison who had been on second Sped around third and made a dash c< for the plate with the result that the first baseman caught him with a {beautiful throw to complete a triple rplay. Despite the fact that at times the game reached comedy proportions, as lisuch a gahie always does, there were a number of good ball players on t!.c is field. The Sigma Nu's in Don Geiger ' and Cy Harrison exhibited a couple [of boys who won'.'-1, be a credi. vo any cn_ollege team while Jimmie Camp on of first base dug them out of the dirt suwith the greatest of ease and looked •;uis if he would make a valuable var- Uty player. Lew Wallace at shortstop and Joe Jennings for the Pi bv vappa Phis looked exceptionally njrfood. Lew is a brilliant young play- tlu,'r with a powerful arm, and the Urpower to drive the ball when at the is plate. Joe Jennings is one of the old to boys who played four years ago, and Whe still remembers how to drive the edball. If Joe had more speed he tirwould make his mark in professional fr.'ball as he can certainly drive it when mi he is at the plate. lia Other games will probably be ar- peranged on the campus before school pi. is out as a number of boys are out practicing every afternoon now. The ~ Conrad Hall boys are working hard, — and they are quite likely to give any fraternity on the campus quite a run when they play as they have some of the best players around school. The fact that the Moot Court has thus succeeded in giving the Senior -Law students the confidence and self possession of old practitioners is ample justification for the time spent upon it and a real testimonial to its value as a part of the course. o Bohon and Mrls.

Friday evening, April 2'J, at eight, Miss Anna Isabel Van Ness will give her graduation recital in the Stetson auditorium. All of her selections will be given on the pipe organ which she has been studying under Mrs. Welch. Anna will receive a degree from the Stetson Conservatory of Music this year. Miss Van Ness was graduated from Stetson last June with an A. B. degree. She is from Urbana, New York, and has attended our university five years. During this time she has been active in many school activities. Anna is the university "chimer" and has appeared in many music recitals.

Bach de- votes Greek letter fraternities in institutions of higher' learning in South Carolina supported in whole or in part by public; funds. There is now no law in any S<tate forbidding fraternities in colleges or universities receiving State aid. Delta Psi was the first fraternity to enter the l|niversity of South Carolina which! it did in 1850. Delta Kappa Epsilon followed in 1852 but both of these charters, as well as Beta Theta Pi, went withdrawn in 1861. When the law] was passed in 1897, Chi Psi, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha! Tau Omega, Sigma Nu, Chi Phi, Kappa Sigma and Pi Kappa Alpha j^ere represented on """ i Kappa Psi and Phi n. addition to the three mentioned abov?, had withdrawn previously to the enactment of the anti- fraternity law. It is probablt that many fraternities will seek ti revive their chapters at South Carolina just as soon as the Board of Trustees of the Institution, in accordance ldth the pi-ovisions of the old law, p;jss the necessary resolutions. Sigma Alpha Epsilon has already- signified its indention of so doing. The original darter was granted in 1882.

The meeting was called and presided over by William P. O'Neal, Pi Kappa Alpha, president of the local Pan-Hellenic Council. It was devoted to a discussion of the responsibility of fraternity men to their institution and the state. Dean F. M. Massey of the University, spoke especially of the re_.pon_.i- bility of the fraternities to their freshmen, pointing out that they could help materially in keeping scholarship where it should be and starting the freshmen on a program of university life which would be satisfactory to themselves, to tbe fraternities, and to the institution. Professor J. Spencer McCallie, headmaster of the McCallie School, Chattanooga, struck the keynote of the meeting when he urged his hearers to lay aside petty differences and stand wholeheartedly for the University. "As fraternity men of the University of Tennessee you must set to work for the institution," he said. "The first thing we must have to cooperate as fraternity men is like- mindedness. Sit down in your fraternity house and think what you can do to help old U. T. It is your alma mater and the institution of your state.". Major Robert Neyland, head coach at the University, compared two hypothetical schools: ; one where fraternities were distrustful of each other and ruined the athletic system; and the other where tbe fraternities, unified in spirit, worked together. "All that is needed at the University of Tennessee is careful organization within the fraternities. You must see that your athletes study hard and pass their work. Help them to observe the training rules. Lay aside your differences and play for Tennessee. (By Harris Sims) ( "That is tho best senior play ever given at Stetson," was the remark made by one play-goer and concurred in by several as the audience filed out of the University auditorium last week after having witnessed the presentation of "The Boomerang ' by members of the 1927 class. That remark v/as no discredit to senior class players.of the past, but was a fitting compliment to those who made possible the delightfully successful entertainment of the evening. Dr. Irving C. Stover, director of dramatics at Stetson, again revealed his' ability properly to select the strongest cast available, and the players of "The Boomerang" proved that his confidence was not misplaced." The play created a wholesome atmosphere. It was a laughable affair filled with humorous situations through the unique machinations of its author. It was a play in which the interest of the audience centered upon more than one or two members of the cast and became augmented as the presentation progressed. Edward Henderson, president of the 1927 class, who likewise has been head of each of his classes through college, and who is a veteran member of the organization of Green Room Players, fully revealed his outstanding histronic ability by the manner in which he played the part of "Dr. Gerald Sumner.'' He was playing well a role bearing directly upon his present ambitions, for upon bein_- crad. atc.d fiom St?t- 7o7T 1 ■ -" wi)Centrei in.- i'.,■■,S-T<. .--a ' of the University of Maryland. His acting evinced good poise and merit- able adaptability. Though unaware of it, when he prescribed the microbe treatment to his patient in the first act he hurled a boomerang which made its inevitable return in the final act. "Dr. Sumner" dis- ceverel that he was the victim of the same "disease" as was his patient, and the reaction to the return of the boomerang called forth a bit of clever acting on the part of Mr. Henderson. Miss Jewell Edmunds as "Virginia Zelya,' the nurse, made a re- ma rkable contribution to the success of "The Boomerang. <^he had an important assignment and did it well. The detection of the happy romance between her and "Dr. Sumner" was a bright spot of the play, and its deyelopmcnt and inevitable culmination drew generously upon the interest of the audience. TT^r personality added charm to her role. Unconsciously I have reviewed the work of Miss Edmunds immediately following comment on Mr. Henderson. Fact is, these two players have been rehearsing for some, time for the play of last week, though when the rehearsing began "The Boomerang" was not likely anticipated. They were well selected for playing opposite one another in the "play romance," if you get, what I mean. "I'll probably get called down for observing so freely, but the temptation to touch upon this was too much and anyway, they're too popular on the Stetson campus to escape this con- difential revelation. Knowledge on the part of half the audience of what I have already revealed, with a feeling of guilt, doubled the interest in "The Boomerang." , Donald Faulkner as "Budd Wood- bridge" was a "high light ' in the evening s entertainment. His work in poi frayinn- the character of a nervous, love-sick, young man won the full approval of the audience. Mi\ Faulkner played a difficult part and did it with skill. The fact that he is in reality a married man belies his play classification as an amateur. Stetson s poppular orchestra leader proved himself a commendable actor as well as a capable musician. To Miss Helen Harrison as "Grace Tyler" is due much credit for her exceptional work in "The Boomerang." . Particularly meritabie was' her woi. '-1 the second act in which was revealeo. her pealousy, the outcome of "Dr. Sumner's'' treatment. It was obvious that there was more pain in her heart than in her alleged sprained ankle. She played the laughable situation cleverly. Miss Martha Pratt as "Marion Sumner" was a pleasing performer whose acting- added much to the favorable reception accorded "The .boomerang." Her work as the sister of "Dr. Sumner ' served to lend added charm to the play. And none the less conspicuous was the pleasing portrayal of "Mrs. Greigh- ton Woodbridge' by-Miss Anna Van Ness. She introduced the care and anxiety of an over-precautious mother terribly disturbed over the "nervous ' condition of her curiously acting son. George McCurdy ably carried the part of "Preston DeWitt," the supposed rival of "Budd Woodbridge.'' Others doing equally meritabie work were Josephine Abbott as Gertrude Ludlow," Edwin Smith as "Emile," Al Lightfoot as "Mr. Stone," and Marion O'Kelly as "Hartley ; also guests at the party, who wer "Mary Jane Brown, James W.

BM^ELECfS OFFICERS Our Stetson Band is going strong in spite of various difficulties. A lack of instruments has been the chief drawback. However, many instruments have been ordered and arc already on the way. Gray, Winters, and McCray are the backbone of the cornet section. Windsor is rapidly getting whipped into shape, and will soon be sitting in with them. Booth, Searls, and Brown aro admirably defending the bass section. Pope, Fleener, Kenyon, Rosa, Tyn- dall, and Crissey arc all doing admirable work at their various instruments. At the last meeting the Band elected its officers, which are as follows: John Rosa, President; Bill Cobb, Vice-President; Gray, Secretary; Winters, Treasurer; Kenyon, Manager; Pope, Librarian; Searls, Custodian; and Windsor, Reporter. We, as members of the Band, extend our sincerest appreciation to Donald Faulkner for his efforts in organizing us into a suitable band for Stetson. Come on out boys, and join us! We want you. _. o — BASEBALL Stetson Y. M. C. A vs. Sanford Y. M. C. A.. Thursday, Cummings field, _:30. MISS DYER AND MR. STOVER PRESENT DRAMA AT ROTARY CLUB MEETING Saturday, April 30. The fraternities wishing to compete for this prize will please notify Barbara Hines by Thursday noon and learn full particulars. Much interest is being shown in May Day this year and it is expected that the parade will be thp ' £est ever held for ueenjthis celeb s / Words, words, words, words— thrown against a background of orange, purple, green, scarlet, magenta ! And that was all! > Furthermore and moreover, that was all that was needed—except of course, an intelligent audience. Oh yes, and which was most necessary two real exponents of the drama (we could'nt say actors since one was an actress) —without which everything would indeed have been nothing but words, words, words. At the Rotary Club banquet last week, our artists, Miss Dyer and Mr. Stover presented an interpretive drama—they gave the drama, the audience did the interpreting. The set for the play was a screen splashed in vivid colors. Futuristic art, so we were'told. In an introduction to the play, Mr. Stover explained that just as modern artists endeavored to convey their impressions by a few strokes leaving much to the imagination of the beholder, so a modern dramatist, possibly as a satire on futuristic art, has gathered together a group of expressive words and with the aid of action. has worked them into a play. There is, no complete sentence in tho play. Our idea of what it is all about is rather vague and will keep our imaginations working overtime, but one thing we do know and that is that we saw some real acting. Where so few words are used the emotions portrayed by ,thc actors must supply this need. We saw enacted before us secrecy, cringing fear, ecstasy, pleading, triumph, love, hate, despair. The play ended in a grand climax —just what it was we can't figure out. But this much we did gather —the woman was triumphant, denouncing the cringing man in words such as red, purple, orange, green and ending in a shriek—Magenta! We have a sneaking suspicion she was blackmailing him. jr
