To the strains of Elgar's famous Processional played by the college ensemble, the procesf sion entered the hall, headed by the faculty in academic regalia. Next came the seniors followed by members of the junior class. The recommendation that the seniors be presented with caps and gowns was made by Miss Beth Weston, class advisor. President Albert G. Eldridge formally approved the recommendation. Members of the junior class then stepped forward and invested the seniors with caps and gowns. The seniors then gave the pledge of service in unison. Miss Stokey, president of the junior class, offered felicitations from the juniors, to which Miss Dorothea Hoffmann, president of the senior class, responded fittingly. A challenging and thoughtfprovoking message was delivered by Dr. Frank W. Wright, State Director of Elementary and Secondary Education and State Teachers Colleges in Massa' chusetts. After the ceremonies, President and Mrs. Eldridge entertained at their home the faculty, the seniors, and the juniors. 16
