be sponsoring. . Heckbert Studios will be taking the graduation pictures early in November. Watdl for posters. A committee is looking into whether or not class sweaters will be ordered. A few points to remember: 1) Senior Class meetings, will not be held all that often, but when they are called something important

7 'will be up, so please try

to attend. 2) Every wall on campus is papered with posters

_ that nobody ever reads, but

if you happen to see one

. that has "Seniors" at the

top in big letters, take the time to read it. All our posters will start that way, and all our posters will have something important to tell you, so please read them. We don't make them for decoration. 3) If you see an announce- ment or article in the SUN starting the same way, read it too. The same thing applies. “Posters and the n are the duly ways we have of letting you know what's going on. ‘ ,

The Senior year is without a doubt the best year at any miversity, and the Class '

V , of 1980 has a- lot of great . people.

let's make. our class. something for everyone
