While March was coining in, basketball season was going out, as Walowac and Company ended its first season in the Mid-American Conference with a victory over Western Reserve to sew up fourth place in the conference standings. At the same time, Walt Walowac bowed out in a blaze of glory, shattering many records as he went. Joy and pride were mingled with sadness as the student body watched Walowac, Herbie Morris, Bob Bradley and Bob Lowe play their last game in the green and white colors of the Thundering Herd. Marco and other Marshallites who attended a special convocation in mid-March were pleasantly surprised at the ''different” program presented. The talent was not imported; it was a native product. The convocation featured the widely known Symphonic Choir and Marshall Concert Band under the direction of Mr. C. L. Kingsbury and Mr. R. Wayne Hugoboom. Students had the pleasure of seeing their own friends and acquaintances present a quality program, comparable in their estimation to much professional talent. 26
