Dr. C. C. Hedges, chairman for the evening. Introduced the speaker. Dealing chiefly with employee Welfare, Mr. Shaw outlined the |khe ideal situation as regirds the felatioh between an executive and his subordinates. "Consideration ihoyld at all times be ihown where bossible," ke said. For illustration of his ideas, the lecturer discussed personnel man agement in the Humble organixa- tion. With sketches and working drawings completed, work on dec orations for the annual Ross Vol unteer Spring Festivities to be held April 19 to 21 inclusive will start immediately, according to Charles Van De Putte, chairman of the decoration committee. A street scene in Paris will be used to carry out the nwtiff, with such famous establishments as La Noville and Moulin Rouge in the group to lend an atmosphere of gayety. Cigarette girli dressed in typical French attire will pass among the guests seated at tables grouped about the setting, depict ing a sidewalk cafe of pgris. The throne upon which T. E. Jarman, king of the festivities, will be crowmed, is to be placed at one end of the hall in such a way as to offer the effect of being built upon the steps of a great public bijilding of France. The entrance of the court wilt be made at the opposite end of the hall, thus giving a short street proces sion up to the throne. An unusual lighting effect is to be attained in using dimly lighted street lamps as the source. Work on the decorations is well up to schedule, according to Van De Putte, and will be completed several days before the festivities EntertaiiMnenU Are Planned For Lx-Students That Re turn For With the date Former Students’tftneet inf just a week and a half off. much interest is being shown b^ the various A and M Clubs oveg the State, ac cording to £.

This will, according to the coaches, give the boys of thought for the plays that will be going on in a game. Only enough plays ha' taught to the boys to general principles, the to be taught during work next year.
