AS SEMESTER ENDS
Upon returning to Ann Arbor at the close of the spring vacation those
eight thousand and more individuals who compose the student body, faced
the realization that they were coming into the straight-away for the last
stretch of the school year. At the end of the stretch will be the day whenc
the grave old senior receives his diploma and bids his alma mater farewell,
and the day when the weary undergraduate turns in his last bluebook and
starts homeward.
The intervening time will be filled with a variety of events, some of the
most interesting of which will be the traditional ceremonies incident to the
graduation of the senior class and the passing of the freshman class to the
rank of sophomores.
In athletics, attention will be focused on the baseball series on Ferry
field and on the track program. The baseball schedule calls for 10 games at
home, the first of which was played with Purdue yesterday. Other games
will follbw at short intervals until the 
final encounter with Waseda on June United States, will deliver the com-

(By Chesser M. Campbell)
A Michigan Union opera tour cannot
be compared to any other form of stu-
dent jaunt but p'pera trips vary little
from year to year. History always
repeats itself lut in the repeating
there is usually a kick or two left
which makes the trip worth while.
"Top O' th' Mornin' " carried the
usual number of heart-breakers and
terpsichore artists-and also the usual
crew of practical jokers and souvenir
collectors. Few of the members of the
company of about 100 that made the
trip regretted spending the spring va-
cation touring Michigan, although one
lost a beautiful collegiate head of hair
and another ruined his arches.
Stars Really Shine
Probably no organization is so honey-
combed with social distinction and
barriers as a Michigan Union opera.
No time is lost in putting each mem-
ber of the troupe into his proper place
which forms his caste throughout the
trip and no wavering from the position
is tolerated. Relief may only be se-
cured by advancing from the chorus to
the cast or from assistant to the chair-
manship of a committee-the orches-
tra is forever branded as such. One
car is devoted to the high moguls-

the cast and the chairmen of the com-
mittees-and sometimes some of theseI
may secure staterooms (if they are
old timers). The chorus and orchestra
occupy the other cars with the assist-
ant committeemen sprinkled in wher-
ever there is room.
,The chairman of "Top O' th' Mornin"
met his first trouble when the leading
woman (a former chorus girl) de-
manded a stateroom or nothing, but
luckily the Pullman car was provided
with two staterooms so that both
leading woman and the chairman of
the opera could be accommodated, put-
ting Molly, the maid-, and the leading
man in for good measure to avoid fur-
ther complications.
Battle Creek was the first stopping
point. After visits to the Post theater,
the Post Tavern, the Post plant, and
the Post-office, dinner was eaten at the
Elks lodge. Following the perform-
ance a dance was given at the Elks
where the old timers had a chance to
renew acquaintance with friends of
1920 and the newcomers were initiated
into the catch-as-catch-can and now-
you-tag-me opera dance for which all
the high school girls (and others) had
been looking forward to for moths.
After the local orchestra had run

down and the younger set taken home
by parents or "steadies," Michigan
Volunteers supplied the music as long
as any cared to dance.
Got the Jackson Blues
Jackson was probably the bluest
point on the trip with two perform-
ances and a snow st'orm to cope with.
In addition the after-the-show dance
was forced to close at 12 o'clock sharp
because, as one chaperone stated-
"that is the rule at Ann Arbor, and. I
am sure the University authorities
would not want the boys kept up
longer when away from the University
than when they are under their super-
vision." A few unappreciated stars
were discovered in Jackson; chief
among which was the\"Fairy Queen"
whose graceful interpretation of a
fairy brought thunderous applause and
an avalanche of demands for pic-
tures. The "Professor" also came into
his own with the audience when he
rendered a touching ditty composed
upon the streets of Detroit. From
then on it became a battle between
Rosenthal and Forsythe for laurels,

fection in Flint as the result of re-
