Governor Shricker, lllayor Feeney, General Crittenherger, a couple of lmrigadier generals, two or three colonels, some lieutenant colonels, a captain, and coin- manders of the lllilitary Urder of VVorld lVars were all watching the Federal Inspection of Techls R.U.T.C. The boys didnlt need to he worried, though. They won national honor rating for the 27th consecutive JEllllC, headinfr 6 .ff . . all high schools in the llnited States.

TURNS T0 . Dunning Uap and Gown l'lv1':nY DIAY it,s the same way. Like a steam roller the grads-to-be make a mad dash toward Liberty Grove for their annual picnic, one of the many Class Day activities. i The 1 orty-ninersi' called it 'tUld Settler's Day. It included the Senior Torch presenta- tion, a stage show, and square dancing when the guys rolled up their jeans and the gals let down their hair. Earlier in the year was Senior Convocation. Senior Sacrifice Day found many hungry Color-YVearers. Supreme Day came and went. Then, a respectful silence told that the upperclassmen were at Yespers. It seemed strange that these quiet, dignified young people were the same gay picknickers of the week he- fore. Finally, Commencement and Prom came, and then their days at Tech were over. Typical of the hundreds of happy seniors is Ann Garrison, beaming as she greets her family with her hands filled with gifts from friends. Seniors really enjoyed promenading and sunning themselves at their annual picnic in Liberty Grove, Class Day, last May 18. Robert Nuhre. carrying the banner of the 1949 seniors, smiles as he leads them in on that big day for Commencement exercises. Senior sponsors. Mr. Peterson, and Mr. Anderson wend their may across the football field before the exercises begin. -14-
