MOUNT PLEASANT, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1943
NUMBER 23
Masquers, Production Class to Sponsor Festival
THIS   BUILDING,   WARRNER  HALL,   WILL  PRESENT  the
background as "Miss Victory" accepts her crown and begins her
reign over Central Michigan's servicemen on May 22. Although the
queen is still just a name, committees have already begun work to
make the coronation program an outstanding feature of the present
year. "Miss Victory" and her court of four will be guests at a special
"Queen's Ball" on the same evening in Fred L. Keeler Union ballroom. A special coronation program is being planned and will be
presented at 4:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, May 22. This
pretty campus scene will be the background of the exercises.
Every girl on Central's campus is eligible to compete for "Miss
Victory" honors. Students, faculty and outsiders may cast votes for
any candidate of their choice. Votes are made by contributing to
the college's Victory Loan Fund. Each cent turned over to this Fund
will count as one vote. Both organizations and individuals may vote.
The contest will close at 5 p. m. on Monday, May 17.

Students  who  read  this column
this week should have some reindeer
hand because it will sleigh you.
Ouch, please, oh please, stop throwing those things. Yup, that's a bad
start for this week.
Ronan and Sloan halls, both dormitories for women, had a slumber
party last weekend on Friday night.
The residents of the dorms invited
guests in for the night, lady guests
of course. However, not all those invited were females. No, two senior
men received invitations—and seri-
os invitations at that. In fact one of
the males was going to accept but
he sent his only pair of pajamas
home in the laundry.
It is time now for a couple of
those moron jokes which swept the
country not so long ago to creep in.
Have you heard about the moron
who went about the country looking for the Hit Parade or about the
moron who is in the hospital? He's
so crosseyed that when he cries the
tears run down his back. Now the
doctors are treating him for bacteria.
Twenty Navy Air Cadets arrived
here last week from Wooster college
in Ohio for a training period of eight
weeks. The navy men now on campus will be confined to campus except
from 9 on Saturday night until 2
o'clock on Sunday. The Mt. Pleasant
nrea and the two girls dormitories,
Sloan and Ronan, have been designated as "out of bounds" except for
weekend hours.

of candidates who were showing
promise for the honor had been
announced. Voting for tho next four
weeks is e::pected to take a steady
rise.
After the first week the candidates were: •
Mary Eddy 340
Janet Waldron  250
Florence Mary Gwinn  143
Lucille Warner  .110
Trudy Brietzke  110
Jane Watrous ..'  10
