The Senior Prom, the last

steak dinner will be served at
7:00, with dinner music by Albino
Torres with his society music.
After dinner, the two bands will
alternate in playing the dance
music; at 10:00 Albino Torres
will take over and play until 1:00,
when the dance is over.
7-Ups and ice will be provided
during the entire dance (except

I taste. It will also be permitted
! to bring wine to drink with the
I meal.

a little over $9.00 a couple for
the seniors and $'4.00 a couple for
fifth-year students, who are in-
vited to come after the dinner at
8:30.

students may devote their full
time to that necessary evil —
study. Professors are requested
to assign no special projects dur-

thoubh regular hour quizzes and
daily assignments will still be
very much in evidence.
The final exams begin on May

June 2.

Who covers his and lets me flunk!
