When the Freshman picture is finally taken, the class can use the opportunity to prove that its oversight was not deliberate...
...uniforms may be measured in Weld 3 any time after 9 o'clock today. The price of the equipment is $6.00, payable on January 15, and anyone who feels that he is unable to pay this should consult some member of the committee at Weld 3.
