Urged by Coleman
Students whose pictures are to

yesterday's appointments for se
nior magazine photographs, only

the time stated on the post card
because of a Gloss, he is urged to
report to the Photo Shop' on E.
College avenue at the next free

dents are urged to wear white
blouses, and men are requested to
wear a dark jacket and a white
shirt, or, if they are members of
