1 qlarry Evening in Mayi' CENTENNIAL BALL The must perfect weather possible her- alded both Centennial Ball and Senior Ball. This year's Centennial dance boasted the lheme of Elmira Past on the lower level, complete with snappy gym suits, while the upper ballroom boasted Elmira Present, both ages being seen by looking lhrough a separat- ing crystal ball. The crowning of Loretta Kantra as our Centennial Queen of the year highlighted the evening of punch, formals, Centennial cake, and Lol'etta's brother look- ing like a proud father. 2 F s 'i N . . . left in a heavenly daze. SENIOR BALL The class of '48 had their farewell dance last May with a'Ehnira in the Spring as their theme. The ball was a pageantry of Howers, bubbling fountains, and white-washed love seats. We still get spring fever, just thinking back to the affair, and rest assured that the Seniors couldn't have taken leave of us in a gayer, lighter mood than the dance imparted to all.

Awards are given out to all de- serving athletes and teams. Last year the class of fifty claimed most of the individual awards with three 6'E's'9 and more numerals than any other class. Peg Simpson received the diving cup and the new Polly Perfect statue for her enviable posture, and the hockey and swim- ming cups also went to this class. Forty-nine's co-operative efforts won for them the bas- ketball and volleyball cups, while Forty-eight took honors in baseball. Our guests and old and new council mem- bers sat at the head table, and the speakers were announced by Lynn Smith, the banquet chairman. Dr. Eldred, our guest speaker, added his wit to the athletic situation at Elmira, praising the femininity of our college HHIIIZIZOIISM. Last but not least, Miss Finter announced the White Blazer Girl, filling her introduc- tion with the traditional suspense. She ex- plained the merits a senior must have to win the vote from the student body. She must not only have a considerable number of sport points, but also outstanding qualities of lead- ership, character, and general interest in all campus activities. We were all very pleased but not too sur- prised when Miss Finter slipped the Wllite Blazer on Robbie. We had all seen her streak- ing across the hockey field and basketball court every year, taking important seats on Senate, AA, and Executive Council. From her good-humored jokes in tl1e Cowle Bin to l1er senior responsibilities to '48, Robbie personified Elmira over and over in her own quiet way. Page ttuenty-seven N? I 5 si X as 5 0' Q0 4
