IN EXCALIBUR ONE MEMBER AND A MIRROR IS A QUORUM First Row: T. Connelly A. Gill J. Widick F. Quigley Top Row: E. BriEham B. Morgan F. Perry C. Hutson L. Hardy B. Dawson D. Jones C. Aubuchon K. Kiebler Fred Quigley . Albert Gill . . Thomas Greene Kelvin Kiebler President Vice-president Secretary Treasurer The thirteen biggest BMOC ' s on campus — that ' s a good descrip- tion of Excalibur, local senior men ' s honorary. Election to member- ship in the group means to the individual that he has reached the top in his special extra-curricular field and has been active in others also. Membership is restricted to thirteen men. From the beginning of college when all freshmen are addressed by the Student Council president and other prominent activity heads, the aim of every man is to become a member of Excalibur. For Excalibur carries with it the distinction of wearing the dark blue robe, and the privilege of lunching once weekly with a select group, and exchanging ideas with them over the table. Excalibur men are singled out from others on the campus by their distinctive sport coats, this year light tan, emblazoned with the darker brown letter X. It denotes excellence of character, scholastic achievement, and leadership on the campus. Junior classmen active in organizations are watched all year by these thirteen. At the Water Carnival, during Senior Week, ten men are tapped into Excalibur. 30
