i e sO TOR Meds Christmas, as always, was one of the most joyful times of the school year. Anxious for vacation to come, students worked diligently to hand in all required term papers before the holidays. Socially, students participated in many pre- holiday activities: residence hall decorating, individual parties and teas, open houses, Christmas concerts, the Christ- mas Ball, and the Madrigal Dinner. A true spirit of Christmas prevailed throughout the cam- pus whether it was the beautiful Christmas chimes ringing from the Union Building, the joyful music being played from the Condit House, or the excitement of the students them- selves. 29 Frequent spills were typical sights during the snewy winier months. Creativity was the key to this award-winning room decoration.

Founder's Day: emotional involvement The president of the Alumni Association and Don Bardon, Senior Class president, presented the book and torch ceremony. The 95th anniversary of the founding of Indiana State was celebrated with the annual Founder’s Day celebration held on January 5 in the Tilson Music Hall. As the seniors processed in, a somewhat tense emotional air enveloped the auditorium. Seniors sud- denly realized that three years of college were be- hind them, and they were now the seniors of Indiana State University—the potential leaders of their world after college. Senior class leaders, Don Bardon and Don Pope, represented the anxious senior class in the impressive book and torch ceremony. President Holmstedt delivered his last Founder’s Day address as President of Indiana State University. 26 Honored guests and distinguished speakers made a most impressive program for Founder’s Day.
