Class Day Parts Open to Orators

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Opportunities for speaking parts in the traditional Class Day exercises were opened yesterday by the 1951 Class Day Committee. The committee announced that it will now accept applications from seniors for the positions of Class Orator, Ivy Orator, Class Poet, Odist, and Chorister. Applications should be filed with Arthur M. Rohn '51, who has been appointed to take charge of the exercises on June 19.

The Class Oration is traditionally a serious talk, while the Ivy Oration is a humorous speech about the class. The Class Ode, sung to the tune of "Fair Harvard," is led by the Class chorister. The Class Poem, read by the Class Poet, is generally reminiscent in character.
