JUNIOR PROM

Plans for the 1917 Junior Prom have about reached maturity and now await but the finishing details for completion. Unless all signs are to fail, there will be an appreciable increase in the number of men attending the annual spring function. That this is due in large part to the efforts of the Prom Committee cannot be doubted. But it can probably be ascribed equally to the fact that the undergraduate body senses the close scrutiny to which this year's Prom will be subjected by a somewhat skeptical faculty, and that its existence must be justified by numbers as well as democracy.

The program arranged is similar to those of preceding years, but in accordance with faculty ruling, nothing has been scheduled for Wednesday, and all functions that would (theoretically) conflict with morning recitations have been abolished. This means that Prom week is officially shortened by a day and that fraternity coffees will be omitted from the list of festivities. Beginning Thursday evening, May 11, with the Prom Show, "I Should Say So!" in Webster Hall, the rest of the week is crowded with fraternity dances, tennis and baseball, a campus hum and a the dansant, and concludes with the Musical Clubs' concert in Webster Hall Saturday evening.

The Prom Committee is composed of R. H. Baxter of Somerville, Mass., chairman; A. B. Gile of Hanover, N. H.; J. W. Saladine, Jr., of W'ellesley Hills, Mass.; R. Sanborn of Cambridge, Mass.; and R. H. Sawyer of Fitchburg, Mass. Up to the present time, fourteen fraternities are planning to hold house parties.
