'57 Class Gives Canopy
REAL QUEENS—With braids and all, Jerry Goss (left), of Stafford, and David Dickey, of Kansas City, Mo., were contestants in the male beauty contest at the senior picnic held in May. Goss won the contest.
Following a fury of debates on several worthwhile projects, the 1957 senior class voted to give from $2,000 to $2,500 toward the erection of an all-weather canopy over the northeast entrance to the Student Union.
The canopy will extend from the entrance to the edge of the newly-constructed unloading zone. It will be T-shaped and made of stain finish brushed aluminum.
The total cost of the canopy will be from $5,000 to $7,500, but the 1957 senior class will receive full credit for the gift. Funds for the additional cost will be obtained from the Student Union building fund.
Canopy Design To Be Contemporary Although final plans for the construction of the canopy are still in the planning stage, Union officials said that the canopy will be constructed from modern materials and will be of contemporary design.

Monday, June 3, 1957
Traditional March At 7 p.m.
Tonight's traditional march will start at 7, but seniors are requested to be on the south side of Strong Hall at 6:35 p.m. In case of rain or threatening bad weather, seniors should assemble in the first balcony corridor of Allen Field House.
Gov. Docking, A. W. Hershberger, chairman of the Board of Regents, and Chancellor Murphy will give greetings at the Commencement exercises. No address will be presented. Hershberger To Present "Diolomas"
The band will play as the graduates march onto the stage to receive their "diplomas" from Mr. Hershberger. The alma mater will be played as the group disbands after the exercises.
As the seniors leave the platform after the conferring of the degrees, they will be handed a diploma receipt, to be signed and exchanged for their diploma after the exercises, and a dummy diploma which is a souvenir aerial picture of the campus. It will then be ever.
And it happens tonight——finally!
"DAMN RIGHT" AND PROUD OF IT—Kay Westrup, of Woodbine, wears the 1957 senior class badge and carries the Jayhawker pennant which members of the class obtained at the first senior convocation held in October.
KU Life Continues Through Alumni Assn.
By MABGARET ARMSTRONG
The association will be your registrar, your headquarters for planning class reunions, and your information center. It is the office where people are interested in your marriage, your children, your job, and, of course, your address.

This is far from true, however, for there is an organization at the University that will always be interested in what you are doing. This is the Alumni Assn.
You're almost alumni now! Soon you'll be earning a living, and you may think,"Well, my KU life is over."
be listed for your classmates and friends in the Class Notes in the Alumni Magazine, which is published nine times a year.
Regular dues are $5 single and $6 joint. Life memberships are $80 single and $100 joint, and they can be paid in $10 or $12 installments.
If you are graduating tonight the Alumni Assn. will give you a 1-year subscription to the magazine free. If you still must complete work on a degree, you can get a special $2 single or $3 joint subscription.
Two Head Association The Alumni Assn. staff in 225 Strong Hall is headed by Fred Ellsworth, executive secretary, Dick Wintermote, field secretary. Its busy activities revolve around a framework of three categories which are:
1. The personal records and con-
nections with alumni
2. The KU alumni clubs over the nation.
3. Class organizations.
The association is now promoting a membership drive in the many active alumni clubs throughout the country. Kansas clubs which have 50 per cent of the local alumni enrolled receive a Kansas flag for the town's school or court house. Out-of-state clubs receive a KU banner.
The class organizations are an active part of the Alumni Assn. Five or six reunions are held each year at commencement.
KU's Alumni Assn. will not forget you when you leave school. It's up to you not to forget the association.
