CO-ED FOLLIES WIN A PPLA USE FROM AUDIENCE Marie Edwards Makes Hit As Ballet And Toe Dancer FRAT. ROW RESPESENTED Varsity Drag Chorus Led by Harriet Scarborough is Feature Displaying pulchritude, punch, and per sonality, the 1928 edition of the Co-ed Follies made its premiere performance at the Town Theatre on Tuesday night, April 8 before a full house. Every seat in the theatre was filled and many had to stand up in the back and along the walls. The large audience applauded continu ously but due to the length of the pro gram, few encores were allowed. The Co-ed Follies were delightfully different from the second-hand road shows that visit Columbia and the entire show was enjoyable, some numbers reaching pro fessional heights. The program consis ted of up-to-date song hits and(l dances which were largely short skits. 'The dancing of Marie Edwards and the Varsity Drag Chorus lead by Har riet Scarborough were the features of the show. The ballet and toe dancing of Miss Edwards was of such excellencr that it will compare with the best pro fessional work. The enthusiastic au ience was captivated by her Doll Dance and judged by the storming applause, would have liked to have kept her danc ing all night. The Varsity Drag Chorus lead by Harriet Scarborough was easily the most popular group dancing of the evening. The applause was so insistant that an encore was allowed. A melody of love songs was effectiveiv renlered by Alice Mikell whose clear soprano voice merited the volumin'us ovation tendered her at their completion. All of the choruses, from the opening, "Together We Two" through 'ngineers lho'rus, lead by the Quattlebaum sis ters were pleasing both because of the dancing and the singing. Especially pop. tlar was the Lindbergh Chorus lead by Frances Ingram and the Miss Annabel Lee. In no uncertain teris Floy Vance told them who she was, and the crowd liked it and called for more. Other choruses were the Sailors Chorus lead by Ella Parr Phillips, School Day Sweethearts lead by Lucy Coleman and Francis Ingram, At Sundown, and Night Revelers. lFraternity Row was a novelty number. Nine pretty co-eds, each appropriately dressed and carrying emblemns. sang a fraterrnity song and received a basket of flowers.

Floy Vance Sara Bowles Sur ED NE MAYRE WALL, Editor Mrs. Taber Speaks On Value of Y.W. Relations With 'Boy Friend' An nounced as Important In Girl Life "The most real thing in your life right now is how you are playing the game with your boy friend," said Mrs. ). ). Taber, Y. W. worker, before the girls of the Y. W. recently. "What should the Y. do for the campus, and what is its real purpose Wt are at college to prepart for li;fe. and the ability to meet the things of life is the test of whether our edu cation is of value to us or not. We have to fill our minds with right thoughts and our tinds with right ideals. That is why a Y means so mnuch in college. "The Y.W. teaches a girl to put first things first. A christian spiri: should be created here that wouldI permeate the University and help mold life here. Nor should we forgo christianity; a girl who is a good Y member ought to be a better member of her church. It is tragic that we have to talk about honor, but it is necessary. We haven't analyzed honor. Many things that we can get by with we interpret ats we please and call it honorable. Our relations with our own friends. how we can influence another girl with her boy friend-all that is : cuestion of honor. The most real tbing in your life right now is how you are playing the game with your boy friends. We are not here for marks or diplomas. but for real good. In my college life there are some things that stand out. One especially v as the friendship of a rich, spoiled "irl.

If I have attained any degre, ,i success. it is not because of any Ibit1g I have done, bit because I have been allied with a great cause.
