foi* at least one day, the seniors havo taken it upon themselves to declare a holiday and are Journeying to Hermosa beach to spend the entire day In recreation.
The day must have a title as far as the records are concerned and It's called All-U Senior Bitch day. Classes may be cut any other part of the year but today they are being cut wltBont the participants having a guilty conscience.
No special preparations have been made for the routine or program during the day, but according to Art Neelley, permanent senior class president, ball games are to be expected and practically any other form of amusement. Diversion from books In any form will be recognized and will be highly recommended.
Through the courtesy of the chamber of commerce, the Pacific bath house has been secured as headquarters for tbe day.
If nothing else will persuade these hard working, studious seniors to go, the announcement of special rates to students should entice them away from the realm •f the printed page for at least •ie day.
Last year there was much rivalry existing between tho juniors and the mighty seniors and this year, from al) the threatening remarks that have been going around, the seniors are making a brave stand to avert such a situation. The class enthusiasm of the seniors Is running at a high speed. Only with the attendance of all seniors wlll this predominate and make the day more successful and entertaining.
The junior-senior dinner dance, originally scheduled for May 23, is definitely off the calendar. Because of the lateness in the year, the administration has cancelled the social affair.
Ray Stevens, nll-uuiverBity junior class president, recommended that, In the future, the dance be set on the calendar earlier in the spring semester, so that it will not fall during the week just before finals or after the elections. All preliminary arrangements made by Steven’s committees this year liad to be cancelled because of Gwynn Wilson’s ruling that the affair could not be a financial success so late in the year.
Herbert Pratt and Jack Stouffer are in charge of arrangements and are the chairmen of the day.
This will be tho last official get-together of the senior class before commencement day, when the class will be officially disbanded, and it is urged that seniors in all colleges attend and make thlB last affair one that wlll long be remembered.
