Junior Hats
Deadline Is
Slated Today
Today is the last day for
members of the junior class to
buy their hats for Straw Hat
Day. v
The hats, which sell for 50
cents, are on sale in the 5 and
in Lenoir Hall. The class is
selling them at cost and is
- making no profit on them.
"If all the hats aren't sold,"
class president Ned Dowd
said, "We will have to pay for
them from the picnic fund."
- Tomorrow all juniors have
been requested to wear the
hats to their classes. Saturday
they are to wear them to the
junior class picnic at Hogan's
Lake.
"So far the response from
the coeds has been almost nil,"
Dowd said. "Coeds are mem
bers of the class just as much
as the men are, and the com
mittee feels that the girls
should take part in this spe
cial junior day."
. The idea of Straw Hat Day,
according to Dowd, is to bring
about closer class unity and
to add prestige to the class of
51.
