The socially minded Jayhawk is carefully pruning his tail feathers this afternoon preparatory to strutting his stuff at the midweek tonight scheduled to officially close the dancing season. Clyde Smith and his orchestra, assisted by Barbara Edmonds, c'40, and Jimmy Brown, will provide the musical ingredients for the dancing in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building. Added attraction of the evening will be the floor show during which Virginia Gzell, fa'43, will sing, Charles Baer, e'41, will play the accordion, and Jack Dalby will give a slight-of-hand performance. The Sigma Chi German Band and the Modern Choir will also appear on the program, and a surprise act will close the show.

Seer-suckers are as carefully tailored as wollens, and chimbray, that material you've been wearing for golfing and tennis, is now ready to make its appearance on the campus.
