school in Birmingham where he pre
viously studied. Incidentally, this stay in
England is of special interest to Mrs.
Milner, it being her first visit there.
From England the Milners will trek
to Denmark. An interesting and verj*
complimentary story accounts for Dr.
Milner's visit there. For some time
the Society of Danish Friends have
been urging Friends in America to send
them a lecturer to speak oil "Friends in
American "Education." The American
Friends selected Dr. Milner to repre
sent them in Denmark.
From Denmark the Milners plan to
go to Holland, where they will be the
guests of personal friends during their
stay in the Netherlands. Leaving 110 l

and there, after lecturing in three
countries, they will enjoy a well-earned
vacation. Dr. and Mrs. Milner plan to
spend a considrrable length of time in
Geneva, where they were married in
If2B. The anniversary of their mar
riage, July 5, must, unfortunately, be
spent in England.

August 27, the Milners plan to be seven
days at sea, arriving in New York on

NUMBER 11
BANQUET DATE OF
JUNIOR - SENIOR
IS ANNOUNCED
May 7 Is Set for Annual Affair
of Upperclassmen;
Many to Attend.
BIG TIME BEING PLANNED
| Social and Promotion Committees Are
Active in Trying; to Make Banquet
the Year's Feature Attraction.
Plans for the annual Junior-Senior
banquet, wliieh will l>e held the night
of May 7, are in the process of com
pletion under the direction of Alvin
Meibohm, junior class president, and
the social committee of that class.
The college roll carries a list of 57
juniors and 47 seniors who are eligible
for the banquet, which is traditionally
line of the feature social events of the
spring semester. Members of the class
are now consulting each of these people
as a step preparatory to purchase of
food and completion of details for the
program.
It is customary that members of the
uppt r class be ignorant of the plans of
their inferiors concerning the motif
of the program. That is true this year.
Some seniors have accused their junior
friends of annoucing plans, similar to
those of "The Pot Boiler" playwright,
and not having the ending prepared.
Junior officials refute that accusation,
i however, so there is no way to deter
mine the truth of the matter. Juniors
affirm their belief that the banquet will
be worthy >l* acelaiiii, and anticipate
the night which will carry the proof.
Assisting Alvin Meibohm as mem
bers of the social committee arc Cora
Worth Parker, Catharine Beittel, and
Pete Moore. Members of the promo
tion committee are Emily Cleaver, Jxiis
Wilson, and Eunice llolloman.
