Alumni, service men to be special guests at dance Monday evening, plans laid by Frayne, Wylie The old will rub shoulders with the new, when PJC’ites, past and present, swing to the music of alumnus Leighton Noble and his orchestra at the Annual Memorial Day Dance, next Monday. Sponsored by the Social Affairs Committee under the direction of student chairmen, Janet Frayne and Dorothy Wylie, the dance is an inter-class affair with PJC alumni as special guests. The Committee voted unani¬ mously for the privilege of hav¬ ing local boy Leighton Noble and his orchestra recall their success as a school band of ten years ago. Since then the Noble organization has made a name for itself and was recently heard in a series of coast to coast broadcasts. Headed by Deans Catherine Robbins and Olive M. Kelso, pa¬ trons of the dance include Isa¬ bella Cass, Gladys Snyder, Au- dre L. Stong, A. R. Baldwin, and Paul Flahive. The dance will be held from nine to twelve. Bids are 55c per couple and may be purchased at the ticket window in the main hall or at the Civic box office. A departure from the tradi¬ tions of past dances took place when the Social Affairs Com¬ mittee designated service men, whether PJC alumni or not, and Cal Tech students as special guests. It is preferred, however, that at least one of the couple be a JC student, either past or present.

Students may vote for their favorite poster between when voting for ASB offices today. The placard which is selected will be reproduced on a large plaque. This will be put on display in the big showcase beside the Auditorium doors. Helen Hunt is instructor of the Art Class and will be on the committee along with several student and faculty representatives, which will make the final decision as to the exact type of placard to be used.
