There’s going to be a birthday—
and a birtliday party! The Women’s

month of April in 1955 marks its

serve the completion of five years’
work with its annual meeting. This
is s(;lieduled for Tuesday, April 19,
at 7 :30 P.M. in the Men’s Gi'aduate
Center.
The Auxiliary announces with pride
that the speaker for this occasion will
be J)r. James T. Cleland. We take
this opportunity to congratulate both
Ur. Cleland and Duke University on
his recent appointment as Dean of
the Chapel, and we are honored to
have him help us celebrate our fifth
anniversary.
To all our friends we want to say
this is to be an open meeting; biisi-
ness will be kept to an absolute mini
mum; we promise you an excellent
speaker; so come one, come all.
