THE DAILY COLT PGLAN
We, The Women
Parade Of Ali
Penn State
Mother's Day and May Day
festivities might virtually be
dubbed "Penn State on Parade,"
"This is THE Weekend" or any
such suitable title.
Eyes of all parents and Penn
sylvania citizens are focused on
our campus. And we do have
something to be proud of. Front
campus is one of the most suit
able spots for May Day exercises,
and finally, we seem to have a
queen who is acclaimed by all
students!
Programs and special enter
tainment have been arranged so
parents may review the happier
side of our college lives.
They will appreciate knowing
all we are learning in planning
social activities. It is our duty,
therefore, to take advantage of
the festivities.
Events will pass in quick suc
cession. We are their hosts and
they will depend upon us to see
all that is planned for them.
Penn State's on parade. Let's
keep the drums rolling!
Exceptional Import
Discovered Al Last
Laws of averages have excep
tions for everything, but this is
more than an exception. It might
be one for Ripley's column; an
appreciative Import has appear
ed on the campus.
After utilizing Ath Hall's mod
ern facilities for two days and
two nights, and enjoying coed
company at the same time, a
Junior Prom Import wrote an
Emily Post proof "thank you"
note to express her gratitude.
Several days later the note was
followed by an enormous box of
chocolates. The amazed coeds,
anxious to disspell renown "Im
port Impressions," related their
story and good fortune via grape
vine system.
This Import has contributed
mightily toward redeeming her
self and other imports in coed
eyes. Nevertheless coeds, as a
whole, believe in the law of av
erages.
