University Procession

Among the topical floats in the University students’ procession tomorrow morning will be one on the egg board and the rotation of hatches, which is being prepared by some medical students.

Dental students will be responsible for a float depicting a flying dentist on a flying saucer, while engineering students have concentrated on the hydrogen bomb. An amusing float will be one showing a surf life saving club with swimmers wearing neck-to-knee costumes.

The procession will move from the George Street section University at 10 a.m. and will travel along Alice Street to Edward, Mary, Eagle and Creek Streets and up Elizebeth Street, returning to the University by way of George Street.
