STUDENT ORCHESTRA
ENTERTAINS TOMORROW
Tomorrow evening Mr. Herbert Pyne will direct the Student Orchestra in its final Diamond Jubilee Year concert of the present semester. Featured on the "short but sweet" program are six orchestra numbers and several instrumental solos. Just enough variation is provided for in the entertainment to lend a pleasing touch of color and tone quality. The student body, no doubt, anticipates this concert as a last opportunity to applaud the efforts of an organization which labored unceasingly throughout the year to furnish a high-class type of entertainment.

VARSITY NINE AND
NETMEN GET THEIR J'S
The 1931 Varsity baseball team, though not represented in Conference circles, will receive their traditional J's as symbols of Varsity experience. The team, playing a schedule of ten games which included the top-notch local nines and the St. Cloud Peds, wound up the season last Saturday against the St. Cloud Peds with a record of five wins and five losses for a flat .500 rating. Graduation will take only two letttermen, Manager Marvin Ryan and Hermie Linnemann, one of the best shortstops ever to wear a Johnnie suit, thereby leaving the team virtually intact for the season ahead.
Letters will likewise be awarded to the members of the tennis squad, including the doubles champs, Hite and Harrer, and Lance McEown and Cross, third and fourth men respectively.
