SENIOR INVITATION .
SALE A SUCCESS
More Orders Will be Taken in the
Library Today This Will be the
Last Chance
The advance sale of Senior invita
tions last week was very successful in
the number ordered, but the commit
tee reports that over a hundred Sen
iors have not yet placed their orders.
At times the crowd around the table
kept a number from ordering on the
davs set for it.
Consequently, to take care of these
Seniors who forgot to order or could
not do so last week, orders will be
taken at a table in the Library today
and tomorrow. This is absolutely the
last chance to order as the final num
ber must go to the printer by tele
graph Wednesday night. -
No extras will be ordered as this is
always a losing proposition. Only
those who have placed their order and
paid a deposit will be able to secure
either the invitations or the announce
ments when the orders are filled and
then only to the amount ordered.
