"The biggest pep meeting the biggest rally
the biggest time ever."
Such is the motto of Suky circle for
the pep meeting in the gym tonight
at 7 :30 o'clock followed by the mammoth rally at the Kentucky theater.
Committees of Suky circle have
been hard at work all week preparing
for the two events and present indications are that to miss the fun tonight will be worse than having indigestion on Thanksgiving day.
The fireworks are scheduled to start
promtly at 7:30 o'clock when cheerleader Johnnie Jewell and his cohorts
start warming up the vocal mechanism of the student body. Professors
Lampert and Sulzer have promised to
take care of the musical part of the
bill while Coach Gamage will be 'on
hand to deliver a few words of encouragement in his usual optimistic
manner.
After a general warming up in the
gym the whole assemblage will head
toward the Kentucky theater. Drum-majWaller Jones and, his eighty-tw- o
piece band, all in uniforms, will
lead the way. It is expected that
practically the whole student body
will be in the parade.
