The Freshman Jubilee will be held this year on May 27 in the Freshman Union, it was announced last night by Allston Boyer '35, Chairman of the Jubilee Committee. The Smoker, the only other 1935 social affair scheduled for this year, will be held on Wednesday evening at 7.45 o'clock in the Union.
The Jubilee Dance is open to all members of the Freshman class and to Sophomore's who were on last year's Jubilee Committee, and will be held from 10 to 3 o'clock. The dancing will take place in the main dining room, and on the rotunda porch, while the back dining room will be used for the supper which will be served during the long intermission.
Patronesses Not Yet Chosen
The patronesses have not yet been chosen, but the ushers will be the members of the Committee. According to the latest report the Instrumental Clubs are not to entertain in the intermission as they have been wont to do in past years, but it is not known whether there will be any substituted form of diversion.
The Smoker is an informal gathering of first year men at which there will be two speakers, as well as a recital by the Freshman Instrumental Clubs. The speaker of the evening will be Captain Irving Johnson, who will talk on "Around the Horn on a Square-Rigger." Johnson has had a wide experience on the sea, and last year sailed the Shamrock V back to England when she made her record-breaking voyage. It is expected that the other entertainer will be a prestidegitator of no mean repute, although the Chairman of the Smoker committee, R. A. Kidder, Jr. '35 did not officially confirm this rumor. At the Smoker ash trays with the inscription 'Class Smoker, 1935' will be given out, along with tabacco, but there is no indication that there will be an informal supper served afterwards as was once planned.
Although several orchestras have been considered for the Jubilee dance, it is expected that Jack Marshard and his orchestra will be employed for the affair.
