to Mary Dirnberger, because, al

to assess each member of the

proposed by Billy McKee to bor

to sell bids to underclassmen.
The junior class will convene
tonight at 8:30 o'clock in Ger

position advanced by the sen

since the juniors three days ago
rejected a plan similar to the one

break the Lown contract and to
employ a cheaper orchestra.

The share of each class for
the dance, as originally planned,
