CLASS OF 1908 TO GIVE NOVELTY ON CLASS DAY

Seniors Also Will Present Stunt After Ivy Oration -- Traditional Program Will Be Followed

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

An innovation this year in the Class Day Exercises at the Stadium will be a ceremony performed by the class of 1908 which is celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of its graduation. The class of 1933 has also been allotted a short interlude on the program for a similar presentation. The nature of both stunts will remain a secret until the event takes place.

The Stadium Exercises will begin at 5.30 o'clock on Wednesday, June 20, with the Parade of Graduates, led by the Chief Marshal of the Class of 1908, John Richardson of Boston. This is to be followed by the Ivy Oration, delivered by S. H. Stackpole '33. The oration will set the tone of the Exercises which, in contrast to the serious nature of Commencement, is intended to be somewhat light and frivolous.

The oration will be followed by cheers given to the major sports teams, terminated by the traditional entery "for the ladies." Then the Seniors will present their class banner to the Freshmen. Next follows the mysterious 15 minutes allotted to the class of 1908, and five minutes to the class of 1933. The Exercises will terminate with cheers for the retiring President Lowell, then finally, the singing of "Fair Harvard."
