The Reunion Banquet, society breakfasts, luncheons and dinners, and sleep- less slumber parties were the means of reviewing past experiences, renewing old - 'acquaintances and making new ones. The student pep meeting and parade were scenes of continuous fun and enabled everyone to happily trudge through the mud dw and snow to see the football game in the form of a mud battle. The Homecoming was voted a decided success even though the weather conditions 'W prevented the return of many former Graceland students who had planned ,to be K with us. We sincerely hope that the Homecoming will be made an annual event M cl and will become a real tradition in the history of Graceland. W ' O 14 M Mi 247. 4, dgs?

5flfifS 1926 AcAcIA I It l' , 6 ll Ll 4.3 li QI, I' I 'i l N A THE GRACELAND ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN The requirements for accredited junior Colleges were raised last year and made it necessary 4 for Graceland to have an endowment of S200,000 in order to hold her standing as an ac- credited school. The work of organizing a campaign to raise the money for Graceland's li endowment was placed in the charge of Mr. J. A. Gardner of Independence, Missouri. He came Q to Graceland and presented the problem to the students and faculty and each one loyally - pledged himself to help. The following group of Graceland people formed a committee to gather together material and to aid in promoting the drive: PRESIDENT BRIGGS LoNzo JONES N. RAY CARMICHAEL Roy A. CHEVILLE ADA Rousl-I BESSIE MINOR ROBERT JONES GEORGE LEWIS DOROTHY MABBOTT ALTABELLE WILLARD CLARISSA OLDS EUGENE CLOSSON FOREST ROBERTS CLARICE GILLEN GEORGE MEsLEY 4 Q JACK GARDNER BERTRAM LEWIS NAOMI DAVIS I VVILLIAM COLLINS TEss MORGAN AGNE5 ADAMS C. M. CLIFFORD STELLA BROCKWAY LESLIE FLowERs RUTH LEWIS When the return from the different branches who were going over the top came in we met the good news with cheers and thankfulness. This proof that Graceland's problem was being solved by her former students and friends made us want to redouble our efforts to aid in helping the institution so dear to us. Several teams were sent out from the college to make speeches about Graceland during the special campaign from November 1 to 15. W6 The results of the campaign were even better than we had anticipated. According to re- ,M ports from the general church ol'l'ices early in April S289,450 had been pledged by 15,824 tsl, individual pledges. The great success of this campaign makes us realize how many friends A' no Graceland has over this land of ours, and we certainly appreciate their loyalty, and too, we recognize and appreciate the efforts of Mr. Gardner and President Briggs in planning and fvqf K1 carrying the campaign through.
