twenty-five prettiest girls in the sopho-
more class at Vassar College held the
center of attention when class day ex-
ercises were held at Vassar College this
afternoon. for although it was primarily
the day of days for the seniors, heads
were turned and necks craned when the
huge daisy chain was carried to the
stage Of the outdoor theater where the
ceremonies were held, for none could
resist passing judgment upon the for
tunate ones chosen for the honor from
a class of more than two hundred.
Not for wisdom nor for prowess in
sports alone are the daisy chain bearers
chosen. but they are awarded the apple
of Paris by the seniors because. well,
in college parlance. because they are
summers, and they were. Attired in
simple white, they made an attractive
picture of youth and beauty. And it
was freely commented upon that in this
day of bobbed har flappers, only. two
wore their hair short.
The girls who marched in the chain
were Miss Gladys Duffy of Worcester,
