TUE ARSCWAL CAUTION 223 1-olors: and Dexheimer as our ollieial 1-lass photographer. The Romantic Age was selected for our class play by the play committee. After a series ul' try-outs. a very suitable cast was ehosen. llaymond Kalzenlverger and Genevieve Nlexellis held the leading roles. On the evening of April sixteenth. the play was presented at the Nlurat Theatre. All patrons pronounced our play as one of the most delightful and enjoyable pro- ductions ever given by a graduating class. ln- eidentally. The Romantic Age was a big fi- nancial success. A novel feature of our class was the carnival- dance which was hf-ld. May twentieth. The dance was held in the Girls' gym and the carnival booths were in the corridors back of the gym. Decorations were in our class colors. The favors. canes decorated with class colors for the boys. and eerise and tan hats for the girls. added io the atmosphere of the occasion. Tlree Day was observed. April eighteenth. Walter Miller presided at the meeting. We pre- sented scarlet oak, American elm. pine-oak. red oak. linden. syeamore. willow. ginko. ash. eut- leaf maple. sugar maple. and red bud trees. The National Oratorieal Contest on the Con- stitution created an unusual furor at Tech. The eontest was held on a progressive elimination basis. The hnals were held. March seventeenth. Of the six finalists. three were June seniors: Bruce Savage talternatet. Paulwirth Waldo. and Forrest Wiggiiis. As the school year closes, we feel that we. as a class. have tried to do our part worthily in helping make Tech a bigger and better institu- tion. We have successfully withstood the test that both Time and faculty have wrought. Our triumphs and defeats. our virtues and failure- have welded us into an almost inseparable body. Like Caesar of old. we came. saw, and conquer- ed. Though we may go in different directions. we shall ever cherish these four years as the basic and character building years of our lives.
