«re Parents Day Features Rodeo, Play, Turkey Parents Day was blessed with near perfect weather this year, a sharp contrast to the rain of a year ago. Thanksgiving Day was devoted to the ar- rival of parents, the traditional cocktail party at the Orme home, Thanksgiving dinner at Founders Hall, and the performance of You Can’t Take It With You. On Friday, the official Parents Day, the annual student art show was held in the Commons Room, followed by a combined meeting of parents, students, and faculty in the Horsecollar Theater. Immediately thereafter, the dedication of the new Butterfly Dorm was held, attended by movie star Jimmy Stewart. Opposite Page: Jimmy Stewart speaks at the dedication of the new dorm.
