Dancing, Singing Will Be Featured
Under Mistletoe at Soph Cabaret


One of the best campus traditions
is that of Soph Cabaret, which has
been put on every year, with the ex-
ception of the semesters of the re-
cent wartime program, by the sopho-
more women.
And one of the outstanding parts
of Soph Cabaret has always been the
floor show, which is to open this year's
cabaret, the Mistletoe Mingle, at 7:30
p.m. Saturday in the League.
First Christmas Theme
Theme of the 1945 cabaret is
Christmas, which, amazing as it may
seem, has never before been used as
the central idea for a Soph Cabaret.
The floor show Saturday will empha-
size all pf the things which have re-
turned to the campus with the coming
of the first peacetime Christmas since
1940.
The dancing chorus, under the di-
reetion of Nancy Neumann, dancing
chairman, will present three numbers,
one of which is a polka. A tap dancing
group is to appear in the second act
of the production, while the third act
will feature a ballet chorus of 12
coeds, with Clarice Podheiser as solo
ballerina.
Since music is so closely connected
with Christmas and the Yuletide
spirit, Betty Spillman and her sing-
ing chorus of more than twenty-five
women will present Christmas music.
Singing arrangements of familiar
Christmas music made especially for
Mistletoe Mingle, the chorus' songs
will include a medley in three-part
harmony.
Vocal soloists Mary Ranger and Sue
Smith will sing with the chorus, and
Lois Forburger is the accompanist for
the floor show.
Return of Scarcities Enacted
Barbara Lee Smith, floor show
chairman, assisted by Ruthann Perry,
is in charge of the specialty acts
which will depict the return of pre-
war commodities to the campus scene.
Rosemary Conner is to take the part
of the typical university coed who

Michigan. In order to revive the old
school spirit and interest in these
traditions, the League social commit-
tee is planning to publish a book on
Michigan etiquette and the history of
our traditions. The committee feels it
is important to familiarize the stu-
dents with our past customs so that
there will be a common interest in
Michigan campus life.
For instance, ho ,, many students
know what makes a true Yellow and
Blue coed? There is only one requi-
site-she must be kissed by an engi-
neer under the arch! Who made up
this tradition? The engineers, of
course. Why? It's self-explanatory!!!
