xml 'Mm 'RFNX ,Fi - as A - A -- 1915 Cardinal Day The first event of the Cardinal year was the final effort of the class of 1915 to impress upon the school the fact that this was the only great Cardinal ever was or is to be. This took the form of a Cardinal Dayl' occurring on April the ninth. In the celebration they enlisted the faculty and obtained permission to conduct the Chapel and suspend the 10 :20 and 11:10 classes. The class of honor tiled sedately onto the platform at the Chapel hour, each member garbed according to his or her idea of the usual appearance of the in- cumbent of the oflice represented. Ingham as editor, wore a green shade and carried the editor's pillow. He wore no coat and had ink daubed liberally over his sleeves. After announcing that the occasion was to be a loyalty program, Ingham introduced several speakers who were to discuss diiferent phases of college life. Mr. W. A. Dexter as a representative of the business men spoke on HBusi- ness Interests . Next came Hal Riggs in behalf of' the Seniors, C. W. Ennis for the collegeg Mathers for the Sophomores, and Hunter for the Freshmen. After this inspiring program further entertainment was announced at the gymnasium. Enroute the Sophomores discovered the Freshmen in possession of an infinitessimal piece of blue and white cheese cloth, the emblem of their classg riot reigned supreme for a few minutes but ended with no blood spilled as all contestants were pacified with a souvenir of the tattered remains. Inside the gym a push ball contest took place between the same two classes. The ball was a steel barrel filled with water to prevent any unearned gains. The mini- mum of motion was the reward for the maximum expenditure of energy and the faculty found' it necessary to refer the results to arbitration in order to prevent the destruction of the gym and surrounding buildings. Next in order came a desperate five round battle between Kenoyer, the Kansas Demon and Horning, the Dakota Slugger , endingiin a knockout blow delivered by the leather-lunged Horning. Allen, the great white hope, refereed the match insuring a square deal to the opponents. In a prize voting contest, Leigh Ladd was elected the biggest crabber in school by an overwhelming majority. Then came the crowning event, the delivery of the 1915 Cardinal which proved the fondest dreams and boasts of the staff to be well founded, and amid the congratulations of the fellow students the radiantly happy Juniors departed to dwell among the clouds of fame. noaemlf
