Culver, jr., Treasurer of the Board, Mrs. Beason, Jens Frederick Larsen, Architect, Ckneelinglg Cadet H. C. Christians, E. R. Culver, Jr., Chairman ofthe Board, and Col. VV. E. Gregory. THE YEAR MARKED THE BEGINNING OE CULVER'S LONG AVVAITED building program. In the rear of Argonne and C.T. began to grow the Beason Mem- orial Hall, a gift of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Beason in memory of their son,former cadet Ross Beason, Jr., who died in the war. For the First Class it meant a new clubroom and an ideal place for relaxation and recreation, for the rest of the corps it was something to look forward to. Other buildings were also in the process of erection, the Naval School Building was scheduled for completion by late June, and the Infirmary, by its new ex- tension, was to become a modern health center .... Yes, it was a year of construction. In

CQMINGS AND GOINGS FIGURED IN THE biggest of the big events all through the year. There was September and that first week, a mix- ture ofplebes and varsity football, and that thought: only 97 days 'til Christmas . . . Remember the mad scramble for Homecoming decorations and the wind that blew them down? Those bull sessions with the Alumni and the first dance of the year? . . . On Armistice Day it was cold and cloudy as we stood listening to the speeches and the roar of the cannon. But before we knew it-Thanksgiving, and hundreds of beautiful women were crowding the campus. Mornings and afternoons were spent presenting military reviews, and the show went off smoothly to the crowd's applause. Finally, over to the ' Q Inn for corsages . . . then to the dance. Smooth lines, smooth talk, L. It . a tap on the shoulder, a stop at the punch bowl . . . Days passed, 5- and the question on the campus was: How are you going Home? There were candles in the mess hall, fire crackers in ranks, carollers .K in the night, and Christmas had arrived . . . Home, then, all too if T Q- quickly, back to school, but it was a wonderful feeling to look for- ward to Spring vacation-the Hrst in many years. Yet with exams we forgot all that, studied hard, and perhaps prayed a little. Exams came and went. There was the In- fantry Dance and the chance blind dates. Soon we were scurrying home for our vacation break. When we returned it wasn't that old routine, for Spring fever had caught us: the Easter and Mounted Service Dances, those recreation periods out-of-doors, loafing in the bird sanctuary-Memorial Day, Government Inspection-all passed quickly by . . . atlast . . . Commencement days. 18
