THE DAILY NEBRASKAN CLASS OF 1908 PLANS REUNION Nearly Three Hundred Grads, Naught Eighters', Will Gather Here GROUP IS EXCEPTIONAL (By Dean Hammond) Twenty years ago nearly three hundred graduates of the university received their degrees, and in a few days nearly tnat same group wno went through the commencement will assemble in Lincoln an Honor Class at the annual Kouna-up. w Campus has changed, buildings have been improved and new struc tures have been erected. Classes are larger than they were twenty years ago. Though there have been many outward changes in the university, one thing has remained intact, the soul of the university. No Dreamt of Reunion Little did those graduates in 1908 dream that some day they would er turn to the alma mater and come to gether in .a group a3 they once did for class meetings, parties, and sim- Y)uth Must Have Love! If Youth but knew; if age but could. And so the young Prin cess turns from her elderly husband to fall, a passionate and helpless creature, into the trembling arms of her hus band's brother. Two fallen leaves drifting in the wind, torn from the shelter and safety of a sturdy home; facing inevitable discovery with the consciousness that no mat ter what the penalty shall be "Youth Must Have Love." There, in a line or two, you have the basic motive of D. W. Griffith's newest, finest and most beautiful achievement.

And so, the "Naught Eighters" to. turn this month, May 24-26, as an Honor class at the annual Round Up. It was an exceptional class from the very beginning. The awk ward, scraggy group that presented itself at the portals of the university in the fall of 1904 soon changed.' Frivolity became underlaid with earnestness and purpose. Meetings Disturbed Attempts at class organization In early October of that first year failed, when sophomore antagonists broke up meetings, 'but the third at tempt resulted in the first organiza tion and first set of class officers, Earl Bardwick was the first president and Harry Swan headed the class the second semester of the year. The first year was generally eventful. The Freshman Hop, held in old Fra ternity hall was the big social event of the year. Political ferment began to bubble at the beginning of the second year, There were bold political strokes carried out in efforts to get candi dates into offices. Peace in class politics was n thing of the past, There was not only the two fratern ity factions, but the non-fraternity men and women were organized. J, M. Swenson succeeded in winning the election to presidency the second year. Have Class Fights Sophomores attempted to break up Freshman class meetings, and the very first time the first year students came together, Swenson, Harvey, and Turner crawled through a pipe organ window into the meeting. The three were promptly tossed out by militant freshmen. The throe were made to apologize, after a reckoning with the chancellor. During the fall of the sophomore year, the class football team won the title of the university, for those were the days when there was inter-class competition. The Sophomore Hop and Athletic Carnival were the two big events of the social calendar. Byron Yoder won the spring election for class president. A pair of frenzied class elections, the Kid Party, and a class party at the old Armory, were the outstand ing events during the Junior year. 'Brigham' Young won the pie eating contest at the class party. Elaborate Prom The Junior Prom given in honor of the graduating class was one of the most colorful affairs of the social season at the university. Memorial hall was decorated with pennants, flowers and beautiful palms. There was a gypsy fortune teller who made predictions for the senior guests. The Prom was the largest gathering of upper classmen that had ever been witnessed. Class picnics were num erous during the month1 of May. In 1907 was a gay fall. Claude Al- den was elected president of the sen ior class the first semester. The an nual Senior Breakfast was held in late October. 'Bud' Bergquist was master of ceremonies. A freshman was captured and made to stand trial before this group of seniors. The Masquerade in December brought out something new in the way of university parties. Additional hon ors came to the class when the girls annexed the basketball championship. The final election was one of the hottest during the entire four years. F. N. Menefee won out in the final vote with a bare majority of two votes. The Senior Informal and the Senior Prom were the two major so cial activities of the year. Swenson was elected Ivy Day orator. Sneak day climaxed the activities of the class. Nearly three hundred graduates marched up to receive their degrees in June, and the majority of them will be back this month, an Honor Class.

NEBR. Styles Trend to More Individuality in Dress New York City, May 14. (By Fairchild News Service) More de velopments in university style have been reported recently by observers of the Daily News Record and Men's Wear, authoritative publications of the men's apparel industry. These include the popularity ' of gray-blue unfinished worsted suits and tho appcaranco of ten gabardine sports Jackets in eastern university centers. The style experts believe that the odd gabardine sport jacket may progress in some numbers throughout the collegiate world, in spite of its late appearance this sea son. Members of the Men's Wear and Daily News Record staffs who visited Princeton during the recent house party week-end reported the gray blue unfinished worsted suits, in two button models, were to be seen in large numbers, but the gabardine sports jackets were worn only by a few fashion leaders of this univer sity. Greater individuality of dress also was noted on this visit, which i3 in terpreted as meaning the day of the uniform university dress is beginning to draw to a close. The influx of English and metropolitan fashions, adapted for university use, which al ready is distinctly noticeable at Princeton and Yale, is to have its ef fect, during the next few years, in all parts of the country, the style experts predict. This means that jackets having a closer fit at the waist, and narrow, peak lapels, with 17 to 18 inch trou-i ser bottoms, are to make gradual but unmistakable gains among all univer sity men. Tan polo coats and the whipcord aviation or trench coats, which have frequently been mentioned in these dispatches this year, were observed in greater numbers than before at this recent Princeton social occasion.

At Western Electric this desire never to rest on past achievements has led to many striking develop ments in telephone manufacture. New methods and machinery used in making telephone cable have resulted in strikin g economies. An entire industry that of wire drawing has been redesigned to give four times the previous production from a given floor area. Who knows where the next achievement will occur? Perhaps in any one of the many projects on wliich Western Electric men are even now working inspired by the thought that the accom plishment itself is only a little greater than the will to accomplish.
