Class Day on Saturday starts the events of the weekend rolling. Garden Party, where seniors and their guests are served light refresliments, is followed by Daisy Chain, after which the seniors give up their places on the Volonnade steps to the juniors. Tradition- ally, the seniors plant ivy in honor of their cla ss, and wind up the day with Flass Day Dance. Sunday brings Baccalaureate and the Presi- dent's Reception on campus, and on hlonday, the day of days, we finally receive those coveted sheepskins. Seniors follow the solemn ceremony and lucky seniors circle the Rose Tahle. And now it,s overfthe classes, the cramming, the dances, the papers, the dates and the rush for classesgthe work and play. The year is over. Exit 1945, enter 1946-. Seniors on purarle 'I ,t,q.- -.1........ -it-' i,-wQN-

President Bancroft Beatley, recognized for his friendly and modern outlook, is the con- necting link between the stu- dent body and the Corpora- tion of Simmons. He enters whole-heartedly into student affairs and activities at dances, suppers, teas, and, of course, the annual Faculty-Student baseball game, where he dis- tinguishes himself as star pitcher, batter, and all-round spark plug of the team. Although he is extremely active in educational fields and in the civilian war effort, he still finds time to swing a mean ping-pong paddle in the an- nual tournaments. President Beatley is outstanding for his tact and delightful sense of humor, and never fails to greet students with a cheery Hello as he passes in thc corridor. Typifying his awareness of the im- portance of student opinion in mould- ing the college policy was his consulta- tion with the Student Government Founcil about the proposed increase in tuition. It is actions like this that have endeared him to the students. 1-..Qvan--Q-..-vtv- u -.
