A Iring in Prussia let his beard grow so long that it bound him to his chair. The sophomores w’H not have time enough to amass such a length of whiskers between the defeat Saturday and future success.
The established sophomore tradition of allowing their beards to grow following a defeat until success will be strictly adhered to. This brings up the quesUon: Will permission be e-nough for the potential beavers or will coercion be necessary?
Mediaeval tortures will twist those who do not appear barbarous enough Beards are hereby notified: The squires will pull them if they don’t grow out.

PROM TO COMBINE THE OLD AND NEW
Combining the pomp and grandeur of an old colonial ball with the gaiety of college atmosphere, the motif of the Junior Promenade, as decided upon by the class committee, will hark back to days of powdered wigs and crinoline.
“Old fashioned” is the way Art Syvertson, junior president, expressed the idea of the season’s biggest social event, only to be contradicted by Reva Hawkins and Eloeen Truitt, who insist that the dance will be the latest thing in favors, entertainment and gaiety paramount.
For the first time in many years a grand march will be staged. Don Cameron, president of the student body, with his fair lady of the Promenade, will lead the march Following in line will be the officers of the class and those responsible for the success of the dance.
Favors to be presented to the “Prom girls” as a memento of the formal will surpass any of the most elaborate given on past occasions.
That the first half of the formal will carry out the colonial ball idea, while the latter part of the dance will change into a revel of carnival fun, is the statement of the dance commfittee members. Elaborate plans are being formulated to make the Junior Promenade a dance to be long remembered by those who are lucky enough to buy one of the bids.
