ing motif displayed on this page is
now available through the Alumni
Office. Alumni and friends of the
college can purchase them on cam-
pus for $1 .50 or order them mailed

dent. The club has found the plate
to be very popular. Sample com-
ments:

"It is one of the best of its kind
that I have seen. It will make a
f ine addition to my collection."
