Ode to JWS
Dim lights and cotton formals
And tuxes in a horde.
If this is really yet to come,
Why is a Mortar Board?
Girls will have to pay the bills
And borrow someone’s Ford.
With only two more weeks to go,
Why is a Mortar Board?

Caslon Light
Answers Call,
6Be Feminine9
Caslon—light and bold. That's
the kind of type which the wo
men are using for the headlines
of their all-woman edition of the
Emerald.
A change of makeup is tradi
tional with each special edition
staff. But there is more to it than
mere change in makeup this
year.
Light and bold. “Be feminine,”
someone recently advised women,
"if you’re trying to enter a man’s
world.” So the women’s staff de
cided to use Caslon Light, the
same type appearing on the
weekly edition of the women's
page, because to them it sets
them apart from the men. To def
initely accept the challenge of
the men (who couldn’t stay away
from the shack when they had a
chance to) into whose world they
were stepping, to put out a bet
ter paper,” the staff added the
bold heads.
So here it is ... in Caslon . . .
Light and Bold.

Oregon’s male population can

It is traditional that the Mor
tar Board formal be a girl-date
boy affair, and this includes call

flowers, and even providing trans
portation for them. Coeds will
have a taste of penny-saving for
the necessary funds.
Girls to Be Tapped
One of the main features of
the ball will be the choosing of
next year’s Kwama members.
The freshman girls who have
qualified for the sophomore wo

and presented to those present.
Dean of Women Hazel P. Schwer
ing will pin on the girls’ pledge
ribbons.

active honorary members,
Blanche Browne, Anne Frederik
sen, Joan Murphy, Patsy Taylor,
and herself, is each handling a
phase of the dance.

black and gold balloons and
