News that the 1921 Smoker has been indefinitely postponed, because the Cambridge Fire Department will not allow the holding of two successive parties in the Union, is at best mysterious. Does the Fire Department fear that two such gathering will result in a combustible effect? Or does the Fire Chief consider that the left-over warmth of one evening will mean no less than sheer conflagration the next? Frankly, we are puzzled. Perhaps the Department's statistician has slightly miscalculated the average life of an undergraduate cigarette...
...have with us tonight a Senior Smoker--or rather the Senior Smoker, for the class of 1919 will have no other this year. It will be a smoker with all the trimmings that please some and bore others; rows of long wooden tables; plates of cheese and pretzels, movies in which Douglas Fairbanks will climb all ever the wrinkled sheet hung at the end of the Living Room, and the inevitable speeches. It is altogether fitting that the Seniors should celebrate in the manner of their pre-war Freshman and Sophomore years the last evening before they conceal their physical...
...this smoker, like all others in the University, will be a business meeting as much as a social gathering. It is only at such affairs that a class can discuss matters of common interest, launch its plans, and find exactly where it stands.

...Senior class meets tonight in the Union at 7.30 o'clock for the first smoker that it has held since the war. This gathering of 1919 is an important one, in as much as it is the last meeting before Class Day, at which subjects of class interest may be considered. Men prominent in the class will speak on Senior activities this spring, including plans for the coming picnic, picture and Class Day. The speakers tonight are: H. C. Flower, first marshal of the class; C. A. Clark, Jr., chairman of the Class Day Committees; L. K. Garrison, class treasurer...
Tomorrow night the Class of 1919 will hold a Smoker in the Union, the first social gathering of the Senior Class since the war. H. C. Flower, C. A. Clarke, Jr., F. W. Whitman, A. Stevens and W. W. McLeod will speak, and the usual motion pictures, refreshments and music are on the program. The moving pictures will consist of a Mack Sennet Comedy entitled "The Summer Girl," and "He Comes Up Smiling," featuring Douglas Fairbanks. Sendel's Jazz Band is to render a number of popular selections...
