luncheon, will be held from 11:45
a.m. to 1:45 p.m. today on
the old campus lawn, weather
permitting. In case of rain, it

the days when Junior Weekend
was University Day. In 1908,
when the first annual Junior

was designed primarily to feed
men busy on campus improve
ment.
A program for the weekend
states “while the work is pro
gressing on the campus, athlet
ic field and the Butte, the women
of the University will be busy
preparing the luncheon in the
Dormitory kitchens. The recep
tion room of the Dormitory will
be utilized for the tables of the
different classes, decorated ap
propriately in the different class
colors.
"The menu, although simple,
will be substantial and abund
ant, consisting of sandwiches
and coffee made by the Fresh
man gil ls, cold meats and potato
chips supplied by the sopho
mores, salads and pickles by the
Juniors and ice cream and cake
by the Seniors.”
Much has been added to the
luncheon over the past 47 years.
Now the food is prepared by a
private contractor and served
by members of Phi Theta Upsi
lon, Kwama and Skull and Dag
ger. The menu is even more
simple: (?) hot dogs, potato
salad with punch, pickles, pota
to chips and all of the trim
mings.
The program, too, has changed
during the years. The queen and
her court, dressed in formals,
preside over the picnic. They will
make their entrance with their
escorts through an arch of
crossed sabres. Members of the
Scabbard and Blade sabre squad
will form the arch.
