Nearly all preparations haye been
perfected for the Alumni reception and
dance at the Opera House tomorrow
evening Friday June 22nd, and it
promises to be one of the most select
parties ever held in the Twin Cities
\ few faithful members of the associa-
ton have been laboring hard for the
past two days IN decorating the hall
while a number of the indisposed ones
have taken a look in to see how those
who worked were ''getting along"
However, the energy and untiring
efforts Of the few has made ND the
difference for the many and the Opera
house never looked prettier than it will
appear tomorrow night. We might
add, also, that a little assistance at the
rink tomorrow would not come amiss.
Let all members who can, elect them
selves a committee of one to lend a
helping hand. The literary program
will commence at $50 followed by
dancing. Refreshments will be served
in style at the rooms of the popular
caterer Geo. W. Davis, at IL and y

About 100 tickets have been issued.
If you wish to attend you can probably
secure tickets at S1.00 each through any
one of the members. One ticket
entities one person to dance, refresh
ments and all.
