Bring someone with you. OUR MAY QUEEN ANNUAL BANQUET Luella Andrews, a Popular Senior, Junior-Senior Affair was a Grand Chosen Two Maids of Success Given in the U. P. Honor. Church.

This year's number of The Round-Up will soon be ready for distribution. It is late in appearing for various reasons. In the first place, the staff, having had no previous experience and no recent precedents, were a little slow in getting things well under way. In the second place, the engraving company was slow with the cuts (as usual). In the third place, the students, but we might go on and on blaming the photographer, the printers, the binders, the editor, etc.

and moreover this was not written for an apology. We think that when it appears you will agree with us that it is the "best ever." That has been our aim and we believe that we have accomplished it, however poor it is. The cheaper books will be paper backed and will sell for $1.50. The others will be bound in quarter leather, and will cost $2.00 each. The book will contain one hundred forty-eight pages (exclusive of advertising), which' is fourteen more than the issue of two years ago had.

It will be divided into six The College, Classes, Organizations, Activities, College Life, and Advertisements. For each of these departments there is a gray insert printed in red and blue. Among the features of this book are; the border on each page, an unique dedication, a superb collection of views, individual pictures of the members of the Champion football team, the art work, the jokes, the snap-shots, the alumni department, the pictures of the officers of the Sophomore and Freshman classes and other things too numerous to mention. But the cuts did come, the write-ups were handed in (that is all that came), each day the B. M.

russled a few more ads, the Editor hammered out a few more pages of copy, the lineotype set a few more corrections, and the printer ran a fevy more pages, over the press. Like all other things it probably has an end. We hope so. All except the pleasant memories, which we hope will linger in the minds of all. Don't you want one? The public has availed itself of the opportunity to attend two splendid recitals the past two weeks.

The size of the audience and their appreciation are evidence of the interest taken in the work done in the Elocution and Piano departments of Cooper College. On the evening of May 4, in the U. P. church, Miss Carrie graduate of the Elocution Department, and Miss Sadie Linville, a graduate of the Piano Department, gave their joint graduating recital. In the presentation of the dramatic story "The Dawn of Tomorrow," by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Miss McFarland proved herself to be a reader of great talent and ability.

She has a pleasing manner and a well modulated voice and from her first appearance held the attention of her audience. The presentation of the characters, the climaxes, and every minute detail was so well given that a lasting impression of the story was made upon those present. Miss LinviUi gave several groups of well rendered piano selections. The first, Concerto in Minor, by Men-dellsohn, in which she was assisted by Miss Rait, was a heavy number and the excellent rendition of it showed her mastery of the composition. The varied style and technique of the numbers proved Miss Linville an able pianist.

On the evening of May 11, a large audience gathered in the U. P. church as a compliment to Miss Helen Strain, who, assisted by Miss Martha Col-man at the piano, gave her Junior recital. The program different from the two previous ones in that Miss Strain gave a miscellaneous program rather than the presentation of cuttings from a book. The first was a musical reading, "The Romance of Dawn." The piano accompaniment was so appropriate to the style of the reading that it served to bring out more clearly the nature of the production.

The characters in the cutting from "Seven Oaks," were well depicted and the audience listened with much interest to her presentation of them. Each of the numbers were of a different style but in each case, Miss was able to please her audience and she proved herself a capable reader. Miss Coleman gave four well rendered piano numbers which clearly showed her talent and training- in technique and interpretation. Much credit is due Misses McClanahan and Rait for the success of these pupils in their graduating recitals. One Tuesday morning it was announced that on the following Friday the boys would hold their annual election for May-queen.

Immediately there was a promiscious "sprucing-up" on the part of the girls. Also the boys stood by as judges and watched with critical eye. Very soon a few were selected which in the eyes of the fellows were eligible for the position. Every class was represented in the candidates and the result of the election on Friday showed that Miss Luella Andrews, of the Senior class, was chosen. This was a fine choice and showed the first rate judgment of the fellows.

Miss Andrews is a very popular young lady and is able in every way to play her part. We predict an excellent affair this year for our May-day Fete. Much hard work is being done by the girls under the supervision of Miss The Junior-Senior banquet held in the basement of the United Presbyterian church Saturday evening, May 6, was a great success. The guests began arriving about 8 o'clock and were received in the south room. At the appointed hour all were invited to the north room by the president of the Junior class, Mr.

Howard Scott. Here we found our places at a large shaped table. The delicious banquet menu appeared on the menu cards in the names of flowers. It was as follows: Sweet Violets Clover Snowballs Dandelions Sunflowers Red Lilies Buttercups Sheep Sorrel Bachelor's Buttons Heart's Ease Rose Enchantress This clever arrangement kept us guessing and as it really appeared was: Fruit Cocktail Wafers Mashed Potatoes Asparagus on Toast Chicken Patties Sliced Tomatoes Sandwiches Pickles Olives Coffee Strawberry Shortcake Between the first and second course Misses Kate Lewis and Sara Adair sang a very pretty duet, "O'er the hill, O'er the dale," and following the second course, Mr. Roger Pinkerton rendered a much appreciated cello solo, "The Flower Song." The last course was followed by a (Continued on last page) DEBATE NOTICE The ROUND-UP will be ready for delivery about June 3, 1916.

CALLED HOME MISSIONARY ORATION CONTEST W. Lewis Thornburg was called home Tuesday forenoon by word of the serious illness of his father. His father died before he reached home.
