Founder ' s Day Scene in the South Portal of Founder ' s Hall Hordes of young and old alumni, students, and moth¬ ers, their hearts warm with gratitude, pause again to bow in homage within the south portal of this precious ' tem¬ ple on the hill.’ Here in a beautiful but plain sarcopha¬ gus lie the last remains of our god-father. Before it rises the Gevelot statue of this wise and charitable Philadel¬ phian. Only a Girardian can know with what deep emo¬ tion they humble themselves before this hallowed enclo¬ sure; here is something no ordinary mortal would dare even to imagine lest he tres¬ pass in the realm of some¬ thing Divine. One has to be in daily touch with the inner life of the students and alum¬ ni to sense this rare ambro¬ sial ozone which Girardians alone seem to breathe here.”

A Parting Expression of Appreciation is Extended to Miss Vera L. Goodrich Mr. John A. Lander Miss Ann M. Haid Mr. John R. Kleiser If anyone deserves appreciation for the work done for us, it is our hosts, hostesses, and Miss McGhee. Without them our social affairs would have been very uninteresting and unguided. They added the spark that has made our class the complete success that it has enjoyed. As long as any part of the Class of January ' 51 remains, the remembrance of their helpfulness will live. THE CORINTHIAN January
