Well, to get on with all the things that will
be happening at the picnic. At 1:30 they'll have
the coronation of Queen Nina Sue Fernimen.
Her four princesses are lean Barringer, Janis
Peterson, Pat Davis, and Sallie Timmens. Snow
belle, the Phi Psi's St. Bernard, polled 203 votes,
but it seems that she was not scholastically
eligible.
Mortar Board and Friars, the senior honor
aries, will march in caps and gowns and tap
new members. Asklepiads, a medical honorary,
will tap outstanding pre-med students, too.
Later Friday afternoon is the terrace
dance, which will be held on the steps in front
of the Libe. Then you'll have dinner with us,
after which we'll go to the All-Campus Sing. #
This year so many houses entered that it was
necessary to have an elimination contest for the
women's houses. Having heard some of them
myself, I can guarantee that you'll enjoy that.
That big meeting of all the mothers is Satur
day morning. If you'd like to get the word
briefly on what their plans for the coming year
are, this is the place to find out. You'll meet the
organization's officers and probably some of
the big wheels on campus.
The Eugene Mothers club, aided by mem
bers of the Young Women's Christian associa
tion and the Associated Women's Students, will
give you a tea Saturday afternoon. You'll get a
chance to meet more mothers there and relax a
minute over a soothing cup of tea.
The float parade with an entry from each
living organization will begin winding its way
around the campus at 4 p.m. and after passing
the iudges' stand at Johnson hall will continue
up the street past Gerlinger so that all the
mothers still at ihe tea will get to see them.
Dear Mom—
The big annual Junior Weekend with its
accompanying Mothers' Weekend is coming off
May 9, 10, and 11. With the University registra
tion now at its highest for a spring term and
everybody eager to make this year's Weekend
a success, it should be the best ever.
Things will start pepping at noon Friday
when the all-University luncheon takes place
on the lawn of the old campus. Incidentally, the
Order of the O men are going to enforce the
traditions there, including the one that nothing
predominantly white may be worn. Chances
are that they won't go around dunking mothers,
but if you observe the traditions, people might
think that you are but a coed yourself.
At Saturday night's Junior Prom with Les
Brown's orchestra, they're reserving the whole
west end of McArthur court for the mothers.
They're even going to have comfortable
couches brought in for you, and they'll serve
you punch and cookies. Some time during the
aance or at intermission, we'll come upstairs to
talk with you and rest a minute.
After church Sunday we'll have dinner to
gether again. Then at 3 that afternoon there will
be a Sunlight Serenade at which the Vesper
Choir will sing.
Beverly Carroll, general chairman of
Mothers' Weekend, the junior class officers,
and those working with them have filled the
three days with enough events to keep you
busy, so you'll probably be glad to see your bed
at night. If you aren't able to make reservations
anywhere, let me know, and. I'll contact Beryl
Howard at the Alpha Gamma Delta house. -
She s taking charge of all the housing problems.
They re planning to have some of the
mothers stay at the women's living organiza
tions some of the fellows mothers, too—so vou
may get a touch of the life of a coed those two
nights.
This is just the condensation of things to
come, but I know you'll have the time of your
life down here. 111 be looking forward to your
coming and making plans for it. Let me know
right away when you'll be down.
With love,
Your Sons and Daughters
At Oregon
