In the soothing atmosphere of a
great cathedra], with its stained
windows and burning candelabra,

partment presented the annual
Thanksgiving assembly this morn¬
ing.

bined 11th year mixed glee clubs

en’s vocal clubs opened the all¬
choral program, singing “Thanks
Be to God,” by Dickinson. A col¬
lection for charitable purposes was
then taken.
Explain Work
Preceding the a cappella choir,
Miss Lula C. Parmley explained
the work and type of the 65-voice

ments, sang “O Morn of Beauty”

by Noble Cain.

Clast to Donate
To Welfare Fund
That §100 of the senior class
money will increase the student
welfare fund, was the decision
reached by the senior class council
last Wednesday.
James P. O’Mara, dean of men,
and Miss Catherine J. Robbins,
dean of women, are in charge of
the money which is given to needy
pupils at their discretion. Two
hundred dollars has already been
given by the Board of Represent¬
atives.
Taking their cue from the music
halls near which they are situated,
or composing their own tunes, a
number of drinking fountains on
the east side have been serenading
thirsty students.
To get a free hair cut without
arousing animosity is the ambi¬
tion of many Bulldog students,
especially after seeing the neat
trim given to passive and non-
aggressive hedges by expert
clippers.
