Senior anticipations are ap-
proaching realization with the

urday in the ballroom.
Following the annual banquet,

ing caps and gowns, will march
around the campus, returning to
the League building in time to at-
,, tend the opening performance of
"State Street." Tickets for the play
will be distributed at the same
time and place as those for the
supper.
Dora Vandenberg, '30, who is in
charge of the sale of Senior Sup-
per tickets, advises that only one
senior woman from each house
come for the tickets for her house,
in order to make it possible for
women from the same house to sit
together. Only cash will be ac-
cepted for the tickets for the ban-
quet.
Caps and gowns are being fitted
in the ballroom every afternoon
this week and from 9 to 12 Satur-
day morning. A fee of $10 will be
required for the caps and gowns
to cover the price of the mortar-
board, which is $5, and a rental
charge of $2.50 for the gown. If
the gown is returned in good con-
dition at the end of the year, a re-
fund of $2.50 will be ,made on it.
