Although this woman does not appear in costume, this photograph is part of the series of skit photographs. The Delta Zeta, Alpha Chi chapter sorority put on a period costume skit titled "All that glitters". The theme of the skit likely references the pioneering spirit of the class of 1929-30 (the first class to meet on the still-rugged Westwood campus; the class (the '29ers) often compared itself to the gold rush '49ers. The skit may have been for a sorority gala or a campus event, such as Campus Capers or the all-female Hi-Jinx. The photograph is taken in the yard of an unidentified building.
