Arch Hart was acting as master of ceremonies, and the address he gave contained some passages worthy of note. The Senior colors were tied about the tree, and after the class president had thrown a ahovelful of dirt about the roots, each member, in solemn procession, added a shovelful until the hole was filled. Dr. Slover addressed the class, and the ceremony was ended. The second tree was planted to the Junior class. This ceremony immediately followed the lunch hour. Cleo Norcross acted as master of cenemonies. It was con- -ducted in much the same manner as the first one, but a reply was received from the Junior -class by E. I... Craig. President Fred A. Wilson, of the Seniors, after an address to the luniors presented them with the shovel, which was received by their president, D. M. Beights. In the afternoon a ball game was played between the first team and the second team, dressed as girls. There resulted a 2-2 tie. At dinner the Seniors were seated along a single long table, and served courses. .Avis Maples as toastmaster introduced each speaker, and toasts were given to the faculty by Naomi Allison, to the juniors by James Miller, to Alma Mater by Alice Miller, and' to Mirs.

They were not determined, however, as to the program they would follow. It was finally decided by unanimous approval to make it a sane and profitable day, to be established as a tradition worthy of being followed by the Senior classes of the endless future: and this day was voted to be the first Wednesday in April. The central event of the day was the planting of two trees, one dedicated to the class of 'Zi ,and the other to the class of '22. Faculty members had agreed to allow the Seniors a holiday. The first real intima- tion of its being Senior day was offered at Chapel, when the Seniors took over chapel exercises. and to the casual observer it indeed might have never been noticed, for the faculty was very well imitated by the different members of the class. jeff McMurtry did not fail to bring out President Slover's personalities in characteristic form. There were only two special features to the chapel program, he explained, which same were the curtain lecture for the juniors by Alice Mulkey, and the future of the Senior class as put forward by the class prophet, Glenn Lewis. Dr. Slover then called for announcements by different faculty members, and the sham teachers made these in such realistic style that the house was roaring with laughter. Immediately following the chapel exercise the whole student body marched over to PAC-l ON! HUNDRED AND I-'0RTY'F'OUK
