Since the opening of the second summer session there have been many requests made to the Summer School Activities committee for a group sing.

The songs will be ones everybody knows and loves. Spme of them will be the old favorites of yesteryear, and some will be the popular hit tunes of today. "You may be sure your favor ite will be sung if you're there to help," officials promised. If this- sing is a success, others like it will follow soon; so "if you enjoy such exercise for your voca' cords you can let it be known by at tending this one," Miss Barefoot says Because of the uncertainty of the weather at present it may be impos sible to sing out-of-doors, if such should be the case the singing , will be done in the main lounge of Graham Memorial.
