taken Tuesday through Thursday Sept.
23-25 on the second floor of Moody C enter.
Lori Evans and Gail Parkey co-editors of
the yearbook issued a plea for all students
to have their pictures made this year.
"Every year when the Bronco is distri-
buted we hear so many students saying they
wish they had had their pictures made for
the yearbook" Miss Evans said. "Next week
is the time to get it done. The Bronco will be
better if we have more pictures in the class
section."
The editors said that all full-time office
workers also should have their pictures
made. Candid photos of faculty administra-
tive officers and administrative staff mem-
bers will be taken later by the university
photographer.
Students are requested to dress approp-
riately for the pictures Miss Evans said.
There is no effort to have students wear for-
mal attire for the poses she said but stu-
dents should "TRY' TO LOOK THEIR
BEST." Cost for four proofs will be $1 .60 the
same as last year.
"Wo invite anyone interested regardless
of their previous experience with year-
books" Miss Evans said.

problem being faced is finding a
hall large enough to rehearse in.
At last count the singers
numbered more than 500. Al-
though they all are not likely to
show up at the same time aver-
age attendance creates a good-
sized mass meeting.
The first public appearance
for the group will be Saturday
Sept 20 at H-SU Day at Six
Flags Over Texas. They'll sing
an afternoon program in the Old
Mill Ampitheater and if it goes
like last year's performance
