A further evidence of the elicits that have been put forth to make this the, most elaborate and well worth while social event of the year, is the free park. ingz facilities that have been secured. The reduction of the price of bids to $1.75 has been met with great enthusiafim by the student ”only in the fact that over two hundred couples are expected to attend. Although the bids show originality in their design, the artistic design is missing, whvrefor the jeweler has procured one which will supplant the old one. As it will be impossible to recall all of the bids the chairman‘ of the sophomore committee, l. M. Hughes, has made arrangements to distribute the new insertu at the door.

Accord- ingly the entire grroun met last Fri- day morning to make plans for the ci‘tablishmcnt of frequent reunions after they leave school. ilei'orc l’lerbcrt Kreiuman took charge of the meeting, Professor [lob- hardt, of the mechanical department, pointed out the {not that the main— taining: of those friendships begun in uchool would be desirable from the. business standpoint of the men's bo~ more. likely to obtain work through old classmates, as well as from the social viewpoint 'of not ion— in}: contact. In ope-him: the. meeting, Kreismun explained that the close unity of the senior mechaniciils created a gen-- crul desire in the group to remain as a whole, rather than to disintegrate as is unually the case. He pointed out the fact that a class. of’ mechanicals at the University of Illinois continued to meet for 25 years after graduation and that this {group could do the name if ull were nufi'ieicntly interested. After the answering: of questions and n general discussion in which the assemblage voted that, A committee should be formed to make arrang‘c‘ merits for a moetinp; nomctime next fall, Kreismnn was unanimously elected as chief organizer.
