other years at Thanksgiving time,
there'll be about four days of enter
tanning to be looked after, as the stu

day, the day before the football game.
And the girls? No one can foretell
how many there will be. The club
rooms will be open to them day and
night. however, and they will be ey-
tended the same privileges that mem
berS of the club enjoy. It'll be almost
like having a home downtown. Tie
visiting girls can register at the club,
meet their FRIENDSHIPS. there are par,
lorS where men are received-have
their dances, eat their meals, or just
rest. And mothers won't be called out
