Seniors Pay Final Tribute
Tuesday was Senior Glass Day, and
the so members of the graduating
class marched in a body from one
building to another over the entire
campus. At each building some mem
Der of the class who was particu-
larly we'll acquainted with the pur-
poses and uses of that particular
building spoke a few words of fare
we'll to the structure. Another of Tie
Senior customs observed was the
planting Of ivy, and this event
proved one of the real serious events
of the week. Following the cere-
monies incident to the planting of
the ivy, the miniature vine was
turned over, together with all the
| traditions and dignity or the gradu-
instructed in the safe keeping of the
plant and the traditions. The many
tears bore mute evidence of the re-
! luctance with which the Seniors were
parting with their treasured tradi-

role as the widow. sustained the
character admirably and won rounds
of applause. She was ably support

gathered to renew acquaintance and
to make plans for boosting the State
College. The enthusiasm essential to
successful program of events was
instilled into the old-timers in the
very first event, when the old time
baseball stars won a pretty baseball
game from the Seniors, ii to Z.
"PreXie" Bryan was on the slab for
the alumni, with Johnnie Bender be-
men performed in big league style,
ably supported by such old time dia-
mond stars as Virgil Patton, Eddie
Kienholz, Cecil Cave, Dirstine and A.
Peterson. The game was neck and
neck until the seventh inning, both
pitchers doing excellent work, but at
that stage the old graduates rubbed
the dust out of their eyes and clouted
Jack Foran's sharp breaks and fast
straight ones to all corners of the
lot, putting the game on ice with
plenty to spare.
The alumni luncheon was spread
in the dining room of Ferry Hall at
noon, and 166 old graduates, repre-
senting nearly every class graduated
from the college, gathered around
the festive board. The association

Todd, '06, now assistant professor of
chemistry at the college. was elected
president of the association, with five
vice presidents, as follows: NJ. K.
