Begin- ning on one side of College Hall, the un- derclassmen — carrying the chain of flowers on their shoulders — slowly proceed to the Oval Plot where they form a Maypole-like picture. Next, all turn to the outdoor auditorium where Joan Caldbeck, President of the Graduating Class, presents the Senior ban- ner to Virginia O’Toole of the Freshman Class; and Olive Erickson, Vice-President, The Transformation [ 22 ]
