The Sophomores have, according to
thelr'cbmmlttee, ono of the best planB
for a class party which has ever been
fried atrtyo "University. This affair,
which is' to bo held in Memorial Hall,
.- .
repruary 1, will be strictly mrormai.
It is planned to have all members
of the class come' alone.
Twenty-three, skidoo! A few words
of friendly admonition to Sophomores.
Leave .your cramming for that exam
you're going to take on Saturday, take
your two dimes and three pennies and
come to your class party. But do not
think that your ticket is the only ex
pense, for dire and woeful penalties
and fines will befall that unlucky
Sophomore who neglects the comple
tion 6f his registration in the twenty
three subjects which the committee
demands of all who attend. A fine
of one cent ($.01) will be collected for
every one of these subjects in which
the guilty underman cannot display
the approving instructor's signature.
The program for the evening will be
varied. The earlier part of the even
ing Will be devoted to getting ac
quainted and incidentally to the com
pletion of the required subjects. Fol
lowing this a short program will be
given, the particulars of which have
not as yet been learned, After the
regular program a few etra stunts are
being arranged for, which will be fol
lowed by dandlng. Finally will come.
thd great, grand, mystical Pow-wow.
Thls'has nothing to do with the Order
of the Red Men, the Hoo Hoos, or any
similar organization, but is purely a
Sophomore affair.
You cannot afford to miss this even
ing of. rare pleasure. It will stand as
one of the most unique events of Uni
versity history and to be absent means
life long regret on your part.
