Alumni Group
To Honor Adams,
O'Neill Today
Association Sets April 21
As Official Race
The Rice Alumni Association is hav-
ing its bi-weekly luncheon today at
the Lamar Cafeteria. Dick Adams and
Haylett O'Neill will be the honor
guests. They will discuss plans for
the Engineering Show.
Mr. Joe Shannon, one of the origi-
nators of the engineering show, will
be toastmaster for the Alumni Asso-
ciation Engineering Show Banquet,
which will take place the evening of
April 14. The Reunion Program will
also include a reception at Cohen
House at 2 p.m., Saturday, group in-
spection of the exhibits, and an in-
formal smoker in the Senior Commons
at 5:30 p.m.
Officers of the Association have des-
ignated San Jacinto Day, April 21, as
M
official Texas holiday, and it comes in
the spring of the year, Rice Day meet-
ings Will be encouraged in sections
where there are at least ten Rice
alumni. The New York club will hold
its spring meeting on the Sunday after
San Jacinto Day. The Houston club
will celebrate the day in an appropri-
ate manner, and the Port Arthur Club,
which is the most active of the local
clubs, will have a banquet on the
evening of April 21. Several of the
Rice faculty mefnbers and officers of
the Houston Alumni club will attend
the affair. Other Rice clubs are ex-
pected to announce their plans soon,
direction of Messrs. Thomas and Ad-
cock.
In an atmosphere of trick doors,
funny signal lights, mysterious allu-
sions to ghosts the actors will be given
an opportunity to exhibit their talents.
Bob Clemens will be remembered for
his part in "Rose of the Southland".
Gerald Richardson has acted in vari-
ous plays for the Houston Little
Theatre and for his activities in the
Dramatic Club of past years. Dick
Lilliott has acted in a number of o-r -
act plays with success. The entire
cast is experienced in dramaturgy and
their activities in the forthcoming pro-
duction are looked to with favor.
"The Blue Ghost" played for a long
time on Broadway in 1930 and" its
reputation is such that the audience
will be held in suspense from begin-
ning to end. With trick doors appear-
ing at almost any place on the stage,
weird screams from back curtain, lone-
some noises, and hysterical women fill-
ing the air with leopard-like screams,
the audience might come prepared to
hold themselves to their seats at va-
rious times during the course of the
evening. In brief, murder has been
committed and practically everybody's
hair has been standing on end in the
castled house of Dr. De Former. The
periodical appearances of a Blue Ghost
are responsible. Naturally Inspector

The Rico Girls' Class of South Main

last week. The following officers were
elected: Rosanne Stephens, president;

Blanche Taylor, vice president of fel-
lowship; Mary Elizabeth Bendall, vice
president of class ministries; Locka-

Mary Cavitt, secretary; and Elizabeth
Lou Everett and Isobel Gibson, group

Baptist students are invited to a spe-
cial service at South Main Baptist

to hear Bob Fling, stale Baptist sec-
retary and president at the evening
preaching service.
3
WEEKS
On April 13 and 14 the Eighth
Biennial Engineering Show will
be held on the Rice Institute
campus. .
Several exhibits from the Cen-
tury of Progress have been loan-
ed the Institute. If you missed
them in Chicago, see them orig-
inal at Rice.
As a whole, the show is over
half completed. The last call
for any brainstorm is now in
order. See your departmental
manager, your idea may be the
headline hit of the department,
as in 1932, Douglas Ragland's
steam engine was the pride of
the M. E.'s.
Wise goes out to investigate. His dis-
coveries reveal the comic fear of Jas-
per, and that Dr. De Former and
Frank Host love the same woman.
Many other escapades, most of which
cause the audience to laugh and shriek
at the same time, bring the play to a
surprising end.
Rumor has it that a parade will be
held before the opening run and that
an ambulance will park in front of the
theatre for any emergency that might
arise from the feminine element of the
audience.

At a meeting of the Freshman Class
Tuesday, it was decided that the
Freshman Barn Dance would be post-
poned from April 7 to May 5. It was
postponed because of conflicting dates.
The dance will be held at the Univer-
sity Club, with Dick Shannon's or-
chestra furnishing the music. Admis-
sion is one dollar.
Dean H. B. Weiser has given his ap-
proval of the dance. According to
Bob Martin, this is the first time in six
yq.ars that the freshman class has been
permitted to give a dance. "I believe
that it will be one of the best dances
of the year", Martin said.

BY DICK ADAMS
Suppose you had been cast on Jules
Vernes* Mysterious Island, without any
equipment, not even a knife. From the
training of the Engineer a civilization
must be created. From, crude minerals
all tools; and products must be manu-
factured. No college student of the
Arts Courses should consider his edu-
cation complete unless he has read the
tale of the "Mysterious Island," to see
what the Engineer has done for civili-
zation. You will see how he construct-
ed bridges, manufactured explosives,
sulfuric acid, and boats, made on this
Island a model city of the Civil War
period. Every adult should already
now the endless planning necessary to
erect an Empire State building, or fur-
nish water to the city of Los Angeles.
Would any layman know what to do
first, or how to follow through each
step until the task had been completed,
even to the automatic cigarette lighter
for the big boss.
Empire Builders
Many are the tasks filling the Engi-
neer's days, and these are done so
smoothly that we live in the midst of
their work without realizing that upon
them our very existence is dependent.
Without Engineers there could be no
railroads, electric lights, airplanes, ra-
dios, talking pictures, skyscrapers,
highways, highspeed automobiles, or
busy factories. In fact our whole life
and civilization are dependent in a
large measure on the brains, ability,
and energy of the Engineers.
4 To the man engaged in the profes-
sion, it is the most fascinating of all
work. In the past, In the wild, distant
parts of the earth, bridges were built,
mines developed, railroads laid out,
rivers dammed, and theif power con-
verted into elcctik al energy. The men
suffer hardships ;md hunger, blister in
tropic heat and shiver in Artie cold.
Long months, or even years, are spent
away from civilization, in camps that
lack the solid comforts of their homes.
All of this is done for the love of their
work, the spirit of the old pioneers
who blazed the "trails from ocean to
ocean and opened vast territory for the

Station at which time papers will be
presented on phasses of engineering

All members are urged to attend
