Association
Benefits Told
The organization of the Michi-
gan Alumnae Association and the
benefits to be received from it were
explained at a Daily interview by
Mrs. Lucille B. Conger, Executive
Secretary, for the information of
graduating seniors who may wish
to join.
Scroll, Mortar Board and Senior
Society, campus honor societies,
form the nucleus of a group that
tries to keep graduates in touch
with campus activities.
This group works closely with
the Alumnae Office in the League,
and mainly by means of a monthly
bulletin carries news of campus to
organized alumnae clubs.
Through cooperation with the
various Michigan Alumnae clubs
in the country, campus leaders
may become leaders in extra-cam-
pus projects after graduation.
Golf Club Plans
Meeting in WAB
The Pitch and Putt Club, the
golf organization of WAA, will hold
a meeting at 5:15 p.m. Thursday
in the WAB.
All women who wish to receive
credit for Golf Club should at-
tend this meeting. Those who
have not paid their dues of 25c
should do so at this time.
The golf tournament has been
extended to May 19 because of the
rain. Tournament scores should
be handed in to the matron at the
WAB and should be signed by the

Theme Will Be GreekC
Decorations will center around
a theme of ancient Greece. A huge
figure of Oenomaus, King of Olym-
pia, will survey the dancers from
his throne at the east end of the
ballroom. Clouds will give the im-
pression that the ballroom is situ-
ated at the top of Mount Olympus.
On the wall will be portrayed the
ancient legend of Greece. Oeno-
maus had offered his daughter,
Hippodamia, to any suitor who
could escape with her. It was the
custom for the king to pursue the
fugitives and to kill the unlucky
suitor. Pelops, the fourteenth as-
pirant, was the winner. He then
founded the Olympic games in
honor of his victory.
Door Prizes To Be Given
Intermission entertainment will
include the drawing for door prizes
which will be along the Olympic
theme. Rhythm classes will pre-
sent a demonstration.
Pictures will be taken with
Olympic flags in the background.
