Senicr Log Bench Hewed Out By Class of 1923 Seniors at Northwestern University, desirous of impressing freshmen with a sense of senioral dignity, have pro- vided themselves with a Jog upon which to -while away time between classes. The log, formerly a trunk of a campus elm, has been placed on the driveway opposite University Hall [ts hewing was not without casual- ties. Three of the six seniors who accomplished the task under the gen- eral direction of Professor Philip Fox sustained minor injuries after one of their number, Reding Putman, suc- ceeded in breaking the handle of the axe. Although the senior log is a prece- dent as far as Northwestern goes such an institution as a senior bench is by no means unusual, several uni- versities having a senioral privilege of that kind. The log on the Evans- ton campus has started on its destiny, seniors already have been busy with their pen-knives trimming the bark and cutting their names and initials in the wood. James J. Paterson of Wilmette, of the senior class, said that that was one of the things for which the log will become famous. SCHOOL HONORS H. P.

YOU ARE REMINDED OF THE LEGION'S DANCE "How are you going to spend the evening of Tuesday, May 297", reads a letter just sent out by Wilmette Post No. 46, of the American Legion. "A good suggestion is that you and your friends attend the dance to be given by WILMETTE POST No. 46, at the Ouilmette Country club on that night. "Dances given by the Post in the past have always been well attended because the Post has a reputation for giving real dances. As usual, the music will be excellent. Who the favored or- chestra will be is a mystery and the only way to find out is by attending. It's guaranteed to be real music that will make you dance. "For a good time be sure and attend." Exchange Victory Notes, Message from Uncle Sam Victory Notes which matured May 20 have ceased to bear interest. Owners who still hold these notes are urged to exchange them at once for U. S.

They may be registered in one or two names and will be paid to either person or to the survivor. These new securities are the only demand obliga- tions issued by the U. S. Government and may be "cashed" at any time if the owner needs money before they ma- ture. Complete information regarding the exchange of Victory Bonds may be ob- tained at the local postoffice.
