NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

"Class Day exercises this year are to follow the lines of those held in years before the war," said C. A. Clark '19, chairman of the Class Day Committee last evening. "Class Day this year will be the first reunion of the Class of 1919 since February, 1917, and all efforts will be made to bring it up to the standard of Class Days of former years."

June 17, he announced, has been set as a tentative date for Class Day. The ceremonies will begin with a special service in Appleton Chapel. The Senior Class then marches to Sanders Theatre where the regular program will be held including the oration by F. W. Hatch '19, the poem, by J. R. Parsons '19, and the ode, by R. T. Bushnell '19.

In the afternoon will come the principal exercises; the Tree Oration, and the parade to the Stadium, where the Ivy Oration will be delivered by F. M. Warburg '19. There will be dancing in the Union at 8 o'clock lasting until 11 o'clock. During the evening the Glee Club will sing on the steps of Widener Library. As usual, in the afternoon the Yard will be closed to all without tickets.

It is planned to pay some memorial tribute to the men of the Class of 1919 who have died in service.
