Sophs To Plan
Annual Dance
Discussion on the possibility of
starting a forinal sophomore
dance as an annual affair will
be the main business at the sopho
more class meeting tonight at 7
p.m. in 107 Main Engineering,
Jack , Baron, secretary-treasurer
announced today.
Baron would like suggestions
for setting the date for the . dance
which • would take the • place of
small informal dances held by the
class in the past.
A report on the parade plan
ned for half time of the Temple
game will be made. Baron said
the parade had tobe dropped
because of the track , meet sched
uled at that time.
According to Baron, Collegian
was in error in announcing yes
terday that Edward Brenner was
in charge of the meeting, since
only officers of the class may
call a meeting. But since the
meeting, was called, the officers
are going through with it and
will turn' the meeting over to
Brenner.
