Q! 99 On October 12, The South Dakota School of Mines and Tech- nology celebrated its 45th annual M Day. The first M Day was held in 1912 when a group of students and professors climbed Cowboy Hill and laid out a rock M and whitewashed it. In 1922, the graduating class laid in a,metal plaque in cement to begin the large cement M. The 1957 M Day carried on many of the customs and traditions of the past and added a few more. The festivities this year began the pre- ceding night with an all school variety show. M Day began early in the morning with the underclassmen carrying the necessary supplies and equipment up the hill. After the M was whitewashed and the senior plaque laid, the group adjourned to Canyon Lake Park for the beef barbecue. Following lunch, a large number of floats paraded through downtown Rapid City. The afternoon was completed with the football game in which Mines was' victorious. The curtains came down on another homecoming with a victory dance in the school gym.
