in war as in peacetime, DePouw traditions continue to ploy their port in life on the college campus; and without them Depouw would not be DePauw. With such celebrations as Old Gold Day, the annual homecoming in the fall when all the grads Hock back to their olmg meter, the spirit of loyalty and Friendship is truly kept alive, The students look Forward to Docis Day when they can proudly escort their fathers Ground cherished nooks and crannies and to favorite profs, and to May Day when Mothers are treated like queensi bedecked in huge Chrysanthe- mums.
