Thespian Revue
Stars Alumni
Thespian alumni will help to
celebrate the 50th anniversary of
that organization in a Homecom
ing weekend show at Schwab
Auditorium, 8 p.m. Saturday.
Except for two scenes, the en
tire show will be made up of acts
and routines which the past
Thespians performed in former
shows. The revue was organized
during the summer, when names
of the Thespian alumni were
compiled from programs dating
back as far as 50 years.
Because this show is an alumni
production for alumni, tickets
will not be sold to undergradu
ates. The show has only a one
night' stand and according to J.
E. (Sock) Kennedy, director,
Schwab Auditorium may not be
large enough to seat even the re
turning gradu a t es and their
families.
If there is any room available
at the last minute, an announce
ment will be made at the foot
ball game Saturday afternoon
and undergraduates may pur
chase tickets.
Undergraduate scenes will
open and close the revue. The
`Vey Nineties" scene win start
the talent ball rolling and the
"Fertilizer Ball" scene will end
it. Both were taken from last
year's Thespian show, "Varsity
Sweetheart."
The first regular Thespian
show which will be produced and
staged by and for the students is
scheduled for December. Time
and place of tryouts will be an
nounced soon.

For (wens' Drag
Tickets are now on sale at Stu
dent Union for the Cwens' Dun
garee Drag at White Hall 9 to
12 o'clock tomorrow night. They
are $1.20 per couple including
tax.
This event, an annual tradi-
Lion, is informal, according to
Sally Henry, president of the or
ganization. The accepted attire
is a faded pair of dungarees and
an old plaid shirt. There are no
chairs provided, since those at
tending are expected to sit on
the floor.
Since the Drag is a girl-ask
boy affair, the girls usually call
for their dates, said Miss Henry.
Many of the coeds make or buy
corsages consisting of onions,
carrots, string, rubber bands and
other junk in a nonsensical vein.
Hank Glass and Bill McTurk,
Thespians, are working on a new
skit to present during intermis
sion. Music will be furnished by
the Campus Owls.
A novelty of the affair will be
a Balloon Spot Dance. Cwens,
distinguished by their grey hats,
will sell vari-colored balloons at
10 cents apiece during the first
part of the dance• Only those
couples holding balloons can
compete in this spot dance. A
prize will be given to the couple
standing on a previously chosen
spot on the dance floor when the
music stops.
