of J 54 was the picture of each senior in the Epitome and the reception of an Epitome by each senior; the Class Picnic; the Class Plaque with each senior ' s name engraved thereon; and the Graduation Ball. In the Fall of the year, the Se- nior Cabinet ran the Fall House- party, with the Moulin Rouge Dance. Not only was the dance a great success. Stan Kenton and his band drawing a near-record crowd, but it also presented the campus with subject matter for a hot and heavy controversy — that of the ban on flowers for the dance. The Senior Cabinet voted not to allow any flowers at the dance in order to promote a larger turnout. However, certain groups on campus deeply resented this move and various petitions were circulated around South Mountain. All this was to no avail and the ban remained. The Senior Class itself has held various meetings in which such matters as the Senior Class Gift and the Class Plaque were voted upon. The Class voted to continue the Lehigh tradition of present- ing the University w ith a plaque inscribed with each senior ' s name. This plaque will hang on the wall of the Chapel. After much debate and discussion, the Class finallv agreed upon the Senior Insurance Program as the Class Memorial gift. The Senior Cabinet initiated a new procedure in adopting a list of recommendations to be pre- sented to the administration. These recommendations, listing specific grievances and proposals OFFICERS Reinoehl. Lusbv. Newman.

As we look back upon our last vear we see that sincere efforts were made by our Class to pro- mote the welfare of both the present and the future Lehigh. We take our leave hoping that our senior year has succeeded in this effort and that classes after us w ill profit as much as we have.

Greenstone. The class The Class of ' 54 was, of course, many things to us. It was our last Class here at Lehigh, and, there- fore, the Class in which we were able to accomplish the most. Our slate of senior officers, along with the rest of the Senior Cabinet, composed of nineteen seniors ap- pointed by the officers, was the group which held the governing reins of our Class. The first function of this or- ganization was to set and collect the senior assessment. The money which each senior so happily parted with during registration went for the following purposes: Philip F. Newman, Jr., President Frank F. Lusby, Jr., Vice-President Martin H. Pearl, Treasurer John B. Reinoehl, Secretary Thomas C. Kubclius, Faculty Advisor The Placement Service and All the Opportunities 24
