During the dance, many entertainment features centered around the announcement of the Honorary Colonel, chosen from a group of candidates selected by each company. This year the honor went to Mary Loretta Blake, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences. After the presentation of the Honorary Colonel, Don Cleveland, Cadet Commander, was awarded the rank of Regimental Commander. This award is given to the out- standing student of military science who has shown his capability through high achievement.

On the evening before, lively snowflakes showered down hopes on the fated campus. Students watched the white tufts pile higher as the night grew dark and a inischievous wind howled icily. Traffic came to a standstill. In the Omaha area, children waited for the welcome news that their schools would be closed. Glued hopefully to their radios were anxious Hilltoppers. waiting for the verdict from the announcer. While visions of test questions popped through their heads. Creighton students were asking the most fateful question of all: would there be tests? Alas, no snow scheme halted tests. At 9:00 o ' clock, lion- liearted students were busy at their bluebooks. STUDENTS ARE TENSE, hoping that Father will drop some hints on the board. But this is a time when knowledge must be in the brain. ITl ' W fvj li-vNt i m 30
