the most amusing incidents were
those which We're not included on the
presidents list. The program open
ed with a little pantomine by the facul-
ty, while each student Rugged his neigh
Dor in the ecstacy OF seeing the faculty
members working. After the planting
of a large star of columbines, the en-
tire body repaired to the shelter Of the
building, where the faculty members
gave their quotations. All these were
of great interest, especially the original
production read by Prof. Ridgaway,
and the poem by DR.. Downey, read by
Miss Middlekauff. The faculty were a
little behind the student body in hilar-
ity, but whatever they lacked in that
important line they made up in the
lesser attainments of literary ability
and cleverness. The senior tree was
planted with a very impressive cere-
mony, and much display Of caps and
gowns. The freshman class planted
a Russian olive with some very flowery
language and many imputations upon
their rivals, the s%ophomores. The
Bellies Lettres tree was given all the
advantages of a ceremonious begin
ming. and will no doubt thrive for the
| glory of the society. Great surprise
was felt when a parade resembling
very much that usually accompanying
Uncle Toms Cabin appeared on the
campus, but the mystery solved Itself
when the pink and green of the Delta
| Theta Kappa became d~iscernable. Al
ter the excitement from this had
cooled, the Sigma Beta Phi planted
their tree, rendering a very good pro-
gram. This was followed by the Delta
Theta Kappa planting, which proved
that the baby frat" may look little

and bravely named their mountain ash
"Enomohpos'' without needing the con
| sequences upon the poor innocent tree.
Their program was Interrupted by a
frat war, which ended, however,
without any disastrous consequences.
Last, but not least, the Alpha Omega
christened their horseshoe of roses
with a ritual that made an initiation
service look trivial indeed. All the
trees planted this morning will serve
the double purpose of identifying the
campus and furnishing a lasting me-
mortal to those who planted them.
