In the near fut~re,. meIr_Ibers of the various organizations in the school will ,be called together to have their "pictures took," and .::e urge, here, th~t al.l persons belonging to such organizations make an effort to be present in the group. The material, such as class reviews, etc., is. now being turned in to the editors. If it continues to come in as it should, we expect to be able to distribute the annual about the middle of May. The students, no doubt, will have noticed the bulletin boards, where a plea for jokes (not persons ) has been pos t e d . Th e success of annuals depends in a large measure, upon the pictures, and upon the original, witty compositions and jokes. For this reason, we are asking the student body, Dr any member thereof', to' aid us in securing good jokes, orig inal compositions (poetry, stories, etc.) as well as snapshots of students, undergrDund .01' on the campus. Snapshots that are not used, if properly labeled with the owner's name, will be returned .. Students, this is' YDur annual_ Let us have your help.
