Former class songs and yells are being revived, and an exhibit of photographs of classes and individuals, dating from 1896, promises to be an in- teresting part of the entertainment.

Mer- ritt Starr of Winnetka, president of the Board of Trustees, will preside, and Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, resident bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, will preach the baccalaureate sermon and conduct the service of dedication.

Tom Hay & Sen Handle Pierce Arrow Motors The Pierce-Arrow Motor Car com- pany has selected Tom Hay and Son, Inc., as its north shore representative. General Manager Meyer of Tom Hay and Son stated: "We decided that if we were going to take on another line of automobiles along with the Chand- ler and Cleveland, which cars have, since our opening, proved to us that automobile owners on the north shore want the best, there was only one car which we could consider, and that was the Pierce-Arrow. North shore own- ers of Pierce-Arrows, we feel, will appreciate the service that will be rendered by Tom Hay and Son. There is no doubt that we will in a very short time nave to move into larger quar- ters as the business is growing so rapidly that we soon will not be able to give our "Tom Hay and Son" brand of service in our present location. "Along with a complete line of Chandler and Cleveland cars we will at all times carry a representative line, both of the 30 and 80 Pierce-Ar- rows."

The address will be given by Dr. Albert W. Palmer. Several north Roycemore. shore girls attend Beauty Lies in Healthy EYES It's not so much the size or color of the EYES that makes them beautitul.
