Much of the success was due to the splendid talk of honor guest Govern- or Iohn Moses and the remarks ot T. Y. Stine and toastmaster Claude Pearson. Wit and merriment flowed as freely as the victuals. Praises, to Doug Oyan, Chairman of the Day. Particularly outstanding were the Iunior decorations-the wedding of George and Martha-which, with the clever lie, won them the axe. Honorable mention was awarded the Sophornores for their song, compos- ed by Iean Gloege with words by Stanley Wasson. To T. Y. Stine, first in Watson, first in the union and-first in the hearts of the student body - the Senior toast was first. Following the banquet, lengthy but good to the last drop, a formal stroll was held in the Varsity Room. En- tertainment was provided by a var- iety of college students.

DEAN C. VIN WHITE SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS Last fall the first formal event of the year took place in the Y W Room, where all the girls gathered near the arbor of roses in their pastels, which swept along and mingled together. With poetry and music as the backgound, the freshman, as the rose bud. tells oi her ambitions for college and for lite: the sophomore, as the halt-blown rose, tells of what already she has ac- complished, while the senior girl tells of what she has done and what she hopes will lie ahead for her. A faculty advisor then gives ideals toward which to work and advice concerning how to attain them. The Rose Garden theme suggested itself from the arbor which stands near the front entrance of the college. One of the things which occured during this year which will not be forgotten soon is the annual Spiritual Emphasis Week, because of the guest speaker who lived for a week in Watson Hall, Dean Vin White from Dubuque Theological Seminary. The chapel was wide awake enough for his talks, and his time was crowded to the extreme with individual conferences. The Friday of his leaving, after the entire February week had been spent in anchoring thoughts of many students on a sound basis, he was so crowded with people who still wished to see him that during chapel, early that morning, he requested they bring him their problems written out so he would be able to get down to the point quickly. His popularity here could not be questioned, there were few who did not gain something of value from him, and all had to agree that he had been a lively thinking, force- fully speaking man.
