Juniors Plan
For Reception
At a meeting of the junior class, held
in chapel Tuesday morning, it was decided
by unanimous consent of the class
to tax each member 75c for the JuniorSenior
reception to be held in March.
In other years the money for the Junior-Senior
reception has been raised by
the proceeds of a dance given by the
junior class, but this year it will be impossible
to have the dance so the juniors
have had to take other steps to make
money for the Junior-Senior reception.
This money, according to Werber
Bryan, president of the junior class,
will he collected at the time of registration
from each junior. Present plans
for the reception include the reception
' self, to be held in Drayton llall, with
music furnished by the Gamecocks, with
?' speaker and refreshments. Immediately
after the reception the Social Cabinet
will stage a dance in the gym, to
which all seniors will be admitted free.

on the same plane it has in the past.
