More than 8,000 invitations have
been sent to graduates of Bloomsburg
announcing the annual Alumni Day "to
be held on the campus May 22. Sixteen classes will have their reunions
this year and will enjoy a program of
entertainment carefully prepared for
them.
Highlights of the day include class
reunions at 9:00 a. m., a general assembly in the auditorium at 11:00. the
alumni banquet in the College dining
room at 1:00 p. m., and the baseball
game and tennis match between
Bloomsburg and Lock Haven at 2:30.
Classes in reunion this year are:
1877 , 1882 , 1887, 1892 , 1897 , 1902 , 1907,
1912, 1917, 1922, I9S2, 1533, 1334 , 193&,and 1936.
By all indications the sophomore
class is the only class capable of doing
business when it is scheduled to be
done. Elections for freshman, sophom ore, and ju nior class officers were to
have taken place Wednesday morning
during the 10:flO o'clock activity period. The freshmen failed to nominate
class* advisors, so an enterprising individual filled in th ree names of hi3
own choice to be put on the ballots to
save calling another meeting. The
j u niors neglected to verify the eligibility of nominees who alread y bold
one maj or office and had to postpone
their elections also.

More than 8,000 invitations have
been sent to graduates of Bloomsburg
announcing the annual Alumni Day "to
be held on the campus May 22. Sixteen classes will have their reunions
this year and will enjoy a program of
entertainment carefully prepared for
them.
Highlights of the day include class
reunions at 9:00 a. m., a general assembly in the auditorium at 11:00. the
alumni banquet in the College dining
room at 1:00 p. m., and the baseball
game and tennis match between
Bloomsburg and Lock Haven at 2:30.
Classes in reunion this year are:
1877 , 1882 , 1887, 1892 , 1897 , 1902 , 1907,
1912, 1917, 1922, I9S2, 1533, 1334 , 193&,and 1936.
By all indications the sophomore
class is the only class capable of doing
business when it is scheduled to be
done. Elections for freshman, sophom ore, and ju nior class officers were to
have taken place Wednesday morning
during the 10:flO o'clock activity period. The freshmen failed to nominate
class* advisors, so an enterprising individual filled in th ree names of hi3
own choice to be put on the ballots to
save calling another meeting. The
j u niors neglected to verify the eligibility of nominees who alread y bold
one maj or office and had to postpone
their elections also.
