What will make this anniversary
more interesting than many a previous
one is the fact that on this occasion the
sons and daughters of the Junior
Pioneers will form an organization of
their own which, for the present, will
be known as the "Junior Pioneer
Juniors. Monday evening a well
attended meeting was held in the
lecture room of Turner Hall for the
purpose of discussing the advisab bility
and necessity of such an organization.
After the purposes had been explained
by the president of the Junior Pioneers
it was unanimously decided to perfect
Isuch an organization.

was tentatively accepted, with the
understanding, of course, that the
name can be changed on the evening
of the organization which will be

that 18 years should constitute the
minimum age at which a son OF
