Men of the Foresters' Club, dates, wives and children will all partake in the affair to be held at "Bald Acres," so dubbed by a stu- dent for obvious reasons, the farm of Prof. Shirley Allen. Private transportation will be furnished for members going to and from the farm situated about twenty-three miles from Ann Arbor. The day will consist of a field day with stunts, chopping and sawing contests, and three-legged races, beginning at 1 p.m. and lasting till such a time as rain, weariness or hours may chase the foresters home. Venison, roasted in a barbeque pit, will be served with soft drinks to make the day complete. Incidentally, it's all legal, too, for the foresters are getting the venison from the Edwin S. Geoirge reserve near Pinckney by previous arrangement. The Senior Society dinner at Dean Lloyd's house has been concelled. We are the first to offer you this advantage.
