FEATURES
EVERY SENIOR GIRL IN DAISY
CHAIN
CROWNING-SONG TO QUEEN
May Pole Dance More Elaborate Than
Ever Before Physical Education
Girls Will Give a Russian
Court Dance
Several unique features are to be
carried out in the morning events of
the Ivy Day program, May 12. Hitherto
the girls' Daisy Chain has been small.
only a few girls participating, but this
year every girl in the Senior class is
to be in the chain, and help carry
out several fancy figures. The physi
cal education department has been
verp good in inventing steps and
fi mires, and in training the Senior
girls.
Another new feature is the Crown
ing Song by the Senior girls. Dr
Hyde and Mrs. Raymond have been
directing the chorus of Senior girls,
and a beautiful English May song
will hft suns before the Queen. Later
the girls of the physical education de
partment will give a Russian court
ilancA before the Queea and this
promises to be one of the most beau
tiful and effective parts of the pro
gram. The Senior girls will sing an Ivy
song while the Ivy is being planted,
and this is something new also. The
May Pole dance is of course an estab
lished custom, but the rest of the
program is new and unexpected. The
committee deserves especial praise in
inventing new features and still hold
ing to the old traditions. Every loyal
stndent of the University should come
out and show his appreciation of the
hard work that the committee and the
Seniors have done in making this an
nual holiday so full of pleasurable
events.

SEW SNEAK DAY
SENIORS TO BE GUESTS OF THE
CHANCELLOR
MYSTERY TO UNDER CLASS
Secret Get-a way Will be In the Near
Future Rumor That 8ome Sen
iors Will be Prevented
From Going
The Annual Senior Sneak Day ia oat.
Seniors will enjoy the day at Crete as
guests of Chancellor and Mrs. Samuel
Avery. The time when they will leava
as well as other particulars are closely
withheld from all but Seniors.
The day originated by the Seniors
affecting a secret get-a-way and re
tiring to some quiet town for a pleas
ant May picnic. Now the day has be
come recognized by the University
authorities and excuses for absence
due to the event are more readily ac
quired.
It is rumored that the different fra
ternities are planning to lock up their
gay Seniors to prevent them from go
ing. Jim Malone however, has prom
ised to release any so imprisoned.
The following is the letter received
by Seniors from the committee la.
charge:
May 3, 1915.
To the Prospective Grads of 1915.
The Weather Bureau promises a
glorious day for
That settles the subject of weather.
The Burlington train will leave at I
o'clock. The whistle will blow and tha
wheels will actually begin to turn at
8:30, but the hour is set at 8 for the
benefit of those who are never happy
unless they are late.
Between 7 and 8 Jim Malone will
visit all the fraternity and sorority
houses aind see that no Seniors are in
prison. However, Seniors should not
relax precautions to guard against sur
prise and captivity.
Picnic costumes are suggested. In
previous years Bome of the young men
have started with laundered collars,
but none have returned with them and
collars cost 12 cents.
Lest the Seniors corrupt the inno
cent natives of Crete and the Blue val
ley with the prodigal use of theix
wealth, come to the station with ex
actly 84 cents in your possession, just
enough to satisfy the demands of the
soulless railroad corporation.
The train will return to Lincoln at
7:30 o'clock in the evening.
Satisfactory arrangements have bees
made so that no one will be hungry
at 12:30 and 6:30 p. m. Light refresk
ments will be served between meals
for those that desire.
The class will be entertained by
water and by land, but the announce
ment of aerial stunts is suppressed br
the censor.
Everybody is ordered to be preseat
except the grouches.
By order of the class committee.
Per the Chancellor's Office.
