I'LL MEET YOU · AT MARDI GRAS THE UNION

VAUDEVILLE The stunts this year fa r surpass

those of any previous one. En­thuaism is rampant and we pre­dict that no one will r egret the money. spent on any of them. Especial incentive is given as the Mar.Ii Gras Committee have pro­mised a five-dollar reduction on the Annual bill of the Department who reports t he largest atten­da·nee.

The Union Vaudeville is a feature inaugurated this year and promises to furnish plenty of en­tertainment. The winning skit will be given a trip to the Contest or-expen~cs paid- and who is there that would not t ry for that!

Don 't fai l to attencl this because everyone will be referring to it for weeks afterward.

MacDOW ALL PRO­GRAM EASTER

ARYME Once upon a time There was a student at S. P. N. who didn 't help his department put on a stunt and make the Mardi Gras a big success, and as time rolled by and the Mardi Gras was pulled off. All of his gang who helped and he hung around an outsider. This was not only a breach of school etiquette hut was also bard from. The Mardi Gras is for eYery student and all should help. It is our big night when we l'Un riot but unless we put our shoulders to ~ he wheel It will be a " bum" exhibition. So let us all boost and when Feb. 16th. comes along don 't be like the a.fore mentioned student but help your crowd put;~ v\ c,· biM, Have a darn good time and make this the biggest and best ever.

The MacDowell Club, com­posed of the professional sin gers of the city and some Normal students are rehearsing for their Easter J>rogram · "Esther the Beautiful Queen." This is a ~onta­ta of wonderful merit and con­tains some really good numbers that " ·ill be performed very well. The club has been invit ed to give a concert in Wausau so~e time in t~c near future, an<l they are planning now on ac,cepting. T_hey are also contemplating g1vmg a concert some time soon in the Majestic theatre.

Although this club is not a school organization we should be interested in it because several of our musical students are mem­bers of it. Among the sopranos from the school are Beatrice Swancut and Julia Van llecke · the altos are Bernice Chapman',

Edith Anderson, Anne Rowe and Anne Mork ; the basses are Do­nald Vetter, Frank Martindale and Caroll Van Buskirk; and the only tenor is Eugene Taege. We should all be glad that these stu­dents have the chance for this excellent experience with such a fine organization.

Of course, there will be no cause for worry on your part, parents, for they will only be having the time of their li,·es and not he gett ing into much mischief.
