gzaigman C Thirty-one jockeys eagerly waited for the starter to sound September 9th. This day had dawned bright and sunny and was just the day to hold a derby at DIercy Downs . W'hat a race? It was a photographic finish. The score- board showed that President , ridden by Shirley Klopp, came in first. that HVice-Presidentu with Betty Btlae Devine as jockey placed, and that HSecre- tary and rr'I'reasurer , ridden by Flargaret Lang and Atlary Jean Devine respectively showed. The Initiation Day handicap was not an easy race to judge, for all seemed to be riding Sportsmanship -the horse which led all the way around; There was the English Assembly race too, in which the jockeys were leaders of the literary chase. Colonel C expresses the anxious hope of these jockeys when he says that he wishes to the Seniors 0f ,41 all the winners possible in the future. Imj!

The first time that they composed melody together was when they elected as whole note, loan Tieke; as halt-note, Helen Hotopp; as quarter note, Mlary Jane Braun; and as eighth note, Rose Blarie Bloening. Initiation Dayu was played beautifully by the thirty-one notes. Their harmony was greatly commented upon. There was a Crescendo reached when the staccato note, Ida VViIIiams and the quarter note, D'Iary Jane Braun, received the title of HHnnnrable Nlention for their technique displayed in the Fire Prevention XVeek Contest. The thirty-one notes sing in unison t0 the graduates of 1941 words to this effect: Siay you always remember that HLife is a Song ! XVI: hope earnestly that its umelody lingers on forever for you.
