Wing and Wig Gives First
Play at Civic Theatre
John Galsworthy’s drama, Loyalties,” was presented by the University players on May 9 and 10. The play ran at the Miami Civic Theatre. The production was sponsored by the Wing and Wig Club and was directed by Edward Cohen and Guy Mitchell under the supervision of Howard Southgate.
The play was typically Galsworthy. The plot of the play was remarkably well developed, but was lacking in humor. The English dramatist lost no opportunities to display his supreme power of subtlety.
Walter Swelva, Gilbert Bro-maghim, Marion Wallace, Guy Mitchell, Edward Cohen and Irwin Jaffee provided the best entertainment for the evening. This play was Mr. Jaffee’s first attempt in dramatics. His role in “Loyalties” was difficult, but, notwithstanding, he played the part excellently. The cast of the production was large. Among the other important members of the cast were Cushman Robertson, Myron Williams, Rose Shayne, John Vierling, Robert Kohn, George Glassford, Dora Peterson and Stuart Strauss.
The committee «5 scholarships of the faculty hat worked out a plan by which a selected number of qualified students will be authorized to solicit new students for the coming year at the university.

Track Events Share Honors With Tug of War and Pie and Cracker Contests

The freshman-sophomore tug-of-war was a tie so far as we could see. Another feature of the day was the cracker-eating contest, won by Anne Bagby, with Miss Kittie Byars a close second. If a reward were given for the funniest event it would have to be divided between the pie-eating contest and the girls’ obstable race.
After the athletic events on the Country Club golf course the students went to the Venetian Pool, where a program had been ar-' ranged. Chester Brownagle led the singing and cheers at the pool.
