FINAL EXAM CHANGE
Final examinations for the current
semester were originally to begin Satur
day afternoon, June 1. In view of the
fact that graduation exercises will be held
Friday, May 31; that the Final Ball will
be held following graduation exercises;
that the Final Review will be held on Sat
urday morning, June 1 ; and that many stu
dents will have their family and friends
here at that time, it is thought that the
best interests of all concerned will be
served better if final examinations for un
dergraduates do not begin until Monday
morning, June 3.

N
Yes, you can do just that
by letting us keep your
present shoes in good re
pair. It’s really amazing
how long shoes will keep
that new appearance if
you have repairs made
at the first sign of wear
instead of delaying until
the wear has caused
them to lose their shape.
Start now making your
shoes look better longer
and save the cost of new
ones.
