By ROBERTA J. MELIN The traditional Sophomore Cab- aret, which is to be held both in the afternoon and evening tomorrow and Saturday in the ballroom of the League, is ready to start off with a bang, judging from the first dress re- hearsal held yesterday afternoon. The entire staff, including the cen- tral committee and the women in the program have already boarded the Sophomore Special and steamed off on the way for a smashing success. Stream-Lined Train One of the main features of the program will be a modern stream- lined train which will make its way around the floor of the ballroom twice during the course of the floor show. It has been announced by Jean Mc- Conkey, '38, chairman of the decora- tion committee, that by Friday the train will appear with a chrome finish and all the trimmings, but spectators yesterday were surprised to see only a wooden framework wheeled onto the floor within which the sophomore women, who will act as passengers, were standing. Betty Whitney, chairman of the music committee, and Marlene Fin- gere were walking side by side at the head of the group, singing with all their might, and Adeline Singleton, Frances Everhardt, and Margaret Curry followed close behind with the rest.
