 WILL BE FEATURE
 AT TUSCALOOSA
Great Plans Made by Vari- 0us Classes for a Big Time
 Next Week

| Borden Burr, pr. Elwyn Ballard and l five Boy Scouts went down to Tusca- | loosa yesterday and pitched the tents
 which are to be used for the camp of | the members or the classes of '96. 'O1, '0s
 and Il during the centennial celebration and the university commencement at Tuscaloosa.
 Twenty big tents had previously been | shipped by rail and everything was l ready for the arrival of the alumni on the campus last night. Boy Scouts are on guard at the camp at all hours. The tents were pitched under the pig trees
 and accommodations have been provided for at least 150 members of the four classes
 The committee in charge of the ar- engagements for the reunion nave pro vided good tents. cots, mattresses, blan- kets and even sheets-in facr, everything I that is needed with the exception of pil- lows. It is announced that any one who really expects to sleep can bring along his own pillow or roll up his coat and sleep on it. Few pillows are expected in the camp.
 Plans have been concluded by which the four classes are to march in the big centennial parade Monday afternoon. and each will be fittingly costumed. Much secrecy has surrounded the preparations of these costumes, put the facts concern ing three of the class regalas have leaked out at last. The boys of '96 will | be regaled in the old style democratic dress, plug hat, long ulster or linen dus- ter as it is more familiarly called, with red bandana handkerchief, and their | trousers will be the regulation palm
 beach. The appropriateness of this, garb 1 is emphasized by the fact that so maze
 of the members of the clash have gained
 fame and fortune in the arena of politics. The offices held by the various members range all the way from supreme court l judge and national committeeman of the democratic party down to justice of the peace. according to we'll defined reports. The members of the class of '06 will be clad in the uniform of the United States sailor The younger men of the class of I'll will wear pajamaS, a uniform which was at first suggested for ,ne boys of '96, but on account of the extreme dignity of some of the positions held by members
 of the class. it was decided to abandon
 that garb in favor of the more appro-
 priate democratic dress. The class of '01
 has so far been able to keep secret the
 nature of the clothes they would wear during the reunion, but 1t is reported to be something between the conventional dress suit and the more comfortable. if not so hobby, mother hubbard.' The class of '96 under the leadership of Hill Ferguson, has stolen a march on it's three rivals by securing the services of a splendid band for it's exclusive use dur ing the centennial and reunion. The Boys Industrial school organization, one of the best music makers in the state, will be the guests of the class for the three days of the celebration. The band will head all the parades in which the class of '96 takes part and will also aid them in whatever entertaining they find time to do. Another thing which moved the class to take the band was the desire that the members of the organization might have the pleasure of seeing the state university and might become im- bued with an ambition to be educated there.
 The chairmen of the arrangement com mittees for the four classes are: Hill Ferguson. for 96; James Foreman, for '01: Jelks Cabaniss, for '06, and Paoli Smith, for Il.
 The camp of the class of '96 will be
 known as Camp Henry A. Snow" in memory of the late Henry A. Snow of Tuscaloosa, one of the most popular
 members, who died last summer. Dur
 ing the entire 20 years since the class
 finished its work at the university, Mir.
 Snow Is the only graduate who has
 passed away. As a tribute to the ad-
 miration and popularity with which he
 was regarded by his fellow students,
 the members of the class will go in a
 body to his grave and decorate it with
 floral offering.
 Another call to be made by this class
 will be on Col. T. c. McCorvey, the only
 man officially connected with the lrl-
 versity who was there 20 years ag0
