<small>If you can, please bring your scones or other desserts to
Lab Prep at 1229 Spieth Hall by 1:30 pm. We would like to get
them on trays and have them ready for voting by those in
attendance. We will cut the larger scones into smaller
sampling sizes just before 3pm so they do not dry out.<br>

Here is your British Empire "fact of the day":<br>
<font color="#000099">"Political correctness appears to have 'won
the day' when in 1958 Empire Day was re-badged as British
Commonwealth Day, and still later in 1966 when it became known as
Commonwealth Day. The date of Commonwealth Day was also changed to
10th June, the official birthday of the present Queen Elizabeth
II. The date was again changed in 1977 to the second Monday in
March, when each year The Queen still sends a special message to
the youth of the Empire via a radio broadcast to all the various
countries of the Commonwealth.</font><font color="#000099">"</font>
