FOUINIDERS DAY Founder's Day, May 24th, is one of the days that will never fade from the memory of a Kemper Hall girl. It marks the entrance of the new pupil to the ranks of the school, and the event never ceases to impress her with its beauty and simplicity. On the evening of May 23rd, the new girls of each class give a short entertainment in the gymnasium. The next morning a service in commemoration of the founders of the school is held in the chapel, after which the Bishop's Hall is decorated with spring flowers by the seniors. In the evening, new girls and old girls assemble in the gymnasium which has been attractively decorated. Before long, the seniors slowly enter in their beautiful dresses, and form an aisle. All eyes are turned upon the queen, who walks down the center, acknowledging the bows of her classmates. She is dressed in white, and is wearing the beautiful traditional veil. As she seats herself upon the throne, the seniors form in clusters of color around her. Each new girl, being escorted to the queen by an old girl, is tapped upon the shoulder with a Sceptre. After each receives her lantern, the girls sing the song of Founders' Day. The procession wends its way along the paths of the campus, the bobbing lanterns making an unforgettable scene. The girls of the school later attend a dance in the gymnasium. Founder's Day may be over, but it lives in the memory of every one who saw it. Margaret Thornberry '34 l42l
