On that day, Mr. Sargeant, who is the of ficial photographer of the annual this year, will be at Flinn Hall from nine until twelve and from two until six o'clock. All juniors and seniors in both the academic and law schools are re quested to have their pictures made if they have not already done so. Officers of the various classes are also asked to have their pictures made on that day. Proofs of pictures that have ;ready been ma4e may be secured on Tuesday, November 22, from Mrs. Moon. at the University postoffice. If. the proofs are not satisfactory, another sitting of three exposures will be made for 25 cents unless the student can show that the reason the pictures were not 'good was the photographers fault, then a re sitting will be made free of charge. All students who rate more than one individual picture may secure extra glossy prints of the same picture for 15 cents each. It will be necessary to have one of these extra prints for every individual picture a student may rate. These will have to be turned in not later than December 10th, in order to appear in the annual. All fraternities and social clubs de siring pages in the annual should get in touch with Whitney Tharin, proto graphic editor, and make arrangements for pictures. No county clubs will appear in the annual this year. In case a student has had an indivi dual picture made at a studio other than Sargeant's, the photograph should be turned in not later than December 10th. Oval pictures will be used in the junior section and square picturea- in the senior section. Be sure you have the measurement requirements before * you turn in a picture not taken by the official photographer, because if you have not it will necessitate a re-taking of tW6 pictcure. -usc Euphradian Society Discusses Dancing *In my opinion, Carolina dances are put on in the best manner possible andi put on in. the best manner possible,' said F.
