This year local alumni led by Frank Mason, Chair¬ man, and Mrs. Feama Robertson, secretary have planned a gala celebration for Penn’s final commencement. In¬ vitations went out all over America and response has been enormous. Among planned events are special commemorative programs, a dance, the awarding of scholarships and other events.

Through the years Penn has reaped a rich harvest from the support of loyal groups dedicated in their service. One such organization is Delta Sigma Theta, Incorporated, an international service organization, composed of high calibre college women who con¬ tribute countlessly in time and effort and money to the growth of Penn ideals. The library has been enriched by the contribution of books by and about Negroes. For many years the Job Opportunities Clinic was sponsored by this group. The Jabberwock, an annual presentation has enter¬ tained Pennites and provided funds for more than $10,000 in scholarships to worthy girl graduates of Penn. At the right is Betty Cathey, 1968 Queen of the Jabberwock. Below are other contestants. | JABBERWOCK AMERICANA |
