a success, which pleased both the
committee and Student Council.
This year the committee antici-pates
a larger turnout and a great-er
success.
The fashions for the show are
being sponsorcd by Town and
Country of Hemsptead, New York.
The models and hostesses are to be
announced in the near future.
To defer costs for the show, a
journal of advertisements is being
published. This journal raised $750
for the show last year. It is the
hope of the committee to top that
amount this year through the entire
cooperation of the students. They
are encouraging all curriculums
and clubs to buy an ad from the
journal. For additional advertising
purposes, a brochure is being
made up to distribute to stores and
newspapers publicizing the show.
The prices for ads inthe journal
run from $5.00 for one-eighth of a
page to $25 for a full page.
Boosters are $.50 while patrons
are only $1.00. Last year's Student
Council President, Lou Volnicella,
sold $340 worth of ads in addit-ion
to encouraging the Student
Council and Student body to try to
get as many ads as possible to
make the show a success. It is the
hope of the committee that this
year's Student Council President,
Tony Adamo, will help to match
or even surpass last year's
journal through the efforts of the
Student Council and the Sutdent
body.
Invitations are being printed to
send to all the parents of the
students. These invitations will
also be extended to the Student
Councils of surrounding colleges
and to the faculty and staff of this
college. Door prizes, donated by
local merchants, will be awarded
to those who attend. There will
also be a prize offered to both a
male and female student who sells
the most ads for the journal.
Immediately following the show and
awarding of prizes, all are invited
to a tea to be held in Knapp Hall
Lounge.
