No. 31 EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN May 24, 1926 LUNCHEON PROGRAM UP TO HAYS, 11 In Member of Fifteenth Anniversary Class to Direct Antics at Annual Affair Union Memorial Building; Business Meeting and Dedication of Tablet to Be Separated From Feed Time; Programs Ready When You Register. All that is needed for a big day on Sat urday, June 19—which it has been men for the date set is tioned previously, Alumni Day—is the cooperation of the weather man. The latter question is a ser ious one this year for the class of '98 of which Dewey Seeley, dispenser of atmos pheric disturbance for this part of the state, is a noted member, is not due for a reunion. However, Seeley has promised to do what he can in honor of the first anniversary of the class of '25 which had two of his sons as members so that matter should be almost settled. In getting down to work on the program for the day the committee headed by J. D. To war, and in cluding four other notables, found a good sized job on its hands. For the first time in the recent history of this affair an at tempt will be made to separate the alumni the business meeting and luncheon from formal program. this task the committee has requested James Grant Hays, '11, commonly hailed as the ceremonies in "Jimmy", to conduct cident to a proper observance of the occa sion. Hays refuses to announce his com pleted plans but he will have general charge of the affair from the time the classes be gin to gather until he turns the meeting over to President Rogers after the lunch eon. In accomplishing It is well to bear in mind that the first duty of an alumnus or former student up on returning to the Campus is to register in regular form in the lobby of the Union Memorial building. There will be class lists and other interesting information at hand to show him or her where to locate the rest of the gang, if the gang should not be on hand to extend the customary greetings. This should be done on the evening of June 18 or the morning of June 19 for the lunch eon is due to start at 12 o'clock sharp, and the committee has decided in favor of a cafeteria style meal where you can rush in and grab what you have coming without going through the agony of awaiting the attention of a waiter. The luncheon, by the way, will cost a single dollar and it will be wise to purchase your ticket at the first opportunity. There will be the customary tax of twenty-five cents to cover the extra ordinary expenses of the day and this is for each person instead of covering an entire family. Therefore upon registering pur chase your luncheon ticket for one dollar, pay your registration fee and buy tickets for the rest of the family at a dollar each, unless they should be registered in which case tne tax will be twenty-five cents per head over the cost of the luncheon ticket. The luncheon will be one of the seven won ders of the world, it will be worth the price. On the morning of June 19 you should have some time to wander around the build ings, or perhaps you will want to go to other buildings on the Campus or look through the new People's church, which was recently dedicated. Be sure to register first; then you will be able to get all of the necessary the whole day. for enjoying information Classes will gather before going through the line for lunch. "Jimmy'' Hays will re mind you of this and he will be aided by a group who will not listen to your argu ments so jo'n up with your class and go through with it. This herding work will begin about 11130 and the south stairs will be used so that the crowd will not incon- Page 496 luncheon itself will be confined venience itself in getting up to the second floor. i ne to eating and listening to the program prepar this ed by the committee.

Dur ing the interim between the game and the president'.- reception at 8:30 there is ample time for class dinners and group reunions of various sort. The alumni dance will fol low the reception and will complete the day. It is a question of being on time and being prepared for a large event for there will be no chance to ponder on your duties at the office or on the farm, no opportunity to bewail the fate .which keeps you below the. average at golf or makes the mileage on your tires less than Bill Jones' boasts, the day it will be that if you are willing to show that you can keep up with your class and with the youngsters who the next year. to a celebration and is dedicated graduated Printed programs will give you all in structions in respect to your conduct dur ing the day and you will be given one when you register.

The picture of a flower native habitat brings up the picture of others which are usually associated with it. The person who has learned the names of one or two hundred wild flowers and has learned how to enjoy them, will not usual ly want to dig them up. Some of the rarer species are in danger of being exterminat ed. There are about fifty species belonging to the orchid family growing in this state. these are very showy; while Several of others are quite inconspicuous, and would naturally not be apt to attract the attention for of most observers.

Certain rare species, how ever, such as Calypso the Nodding Pogonia grow in mossy woods or in rich leaf-mold. The orchids, more any other group of wild flower, need protection.

IOWA TAKES RELAY AND MEET HONORS State lost the mile relay and consequently the meet in its dual encounter with Iowa State at the stadium on May 8, 67-64. Prior to the final relay the Varsity led, 64-62. Too much credit cannot be given to Grim and Alderman for their work. Alderman took first in the 100 and 220 with Grim coming in second in both. Grim took first in the 440 while Alderman won the broad j u mp and took third in the javelin. Then, when the count stood 64-62 in State's favor just before the final event of the meet, Al derman and Grim were sent into the mile relay. It was the first time that the for mer had ever attempted this distance. Grim ran third and had a 30 yard handicap to attempt to make up, with Alderman follow ing an anchor man. the previous activity of these men was too much. Al though their they gained considerably on opponents they could not make the grade sufficiently to win. But Iowa Wylie of State sprang a big surprise by almost defeating Conger of the mile, the latter was forced to a long sprint to win. the discus when he placed second.

Record RECORDS FALL IN NOTRE DAME MEET the Alderman, Grim and Wylie Continue Pace Which Has Put Them Among Leading College Runners of the Year; Visitors Win by Placing Straight In Three Events. Alderman, Grim and Wylie established new College records in the dual meet with Notre Dame on Saturday, May 15. Alder man was timed at 109.8 in the hundred, Grim at 149.9 in the 440 and Wylie at 4:27.6 in the mile. All three marks were accepted as official and will replace the present marks for these events. Alderman's time of 9.8 seconds replaces the mark made by H. E. Moon in 1904 of ten flat and since then equalled by Ernst in 1922 and Herdell in 1922 and 1924. Grim's time of 49.9 breaks his earlier sea son mark of 150, which then displaced the mark established by DeGay Ernst. Wylie's feat of accomplishing the mile in 4:27.6 betters the time of Adolph, 1921, by 5.4 seconds. It was in the hurdles, middle distance and field events that Notre Dame was able to clinch the result of the meet, 78-48.
