When the glory ol those days began to pale, Founders Day brought blaclc-robed dignity and the Trustees to Southwestern. -lhen the baslcetball team played a return engagement at the National Tournament at Kansas City, pursuing the title right into the quarter-Finals. At home they very generously shared the Clf championship with Pittsburg and l-lays. 'lls everybody happy?

Grandmothens Flower garden was transplanted to milady,s hat lor an early Easter. lhen spring, in true leminine lashion, changed her mind and the weather. The Fog-cholted valley lay grey and mute, the reclcless gaiety ol False spring became sober and contemplative. Dull silence of darlcness before storm, lightning ripping through belligerent clouds, and the wind springing up behind bent cedars. Wild lury ol sound and force, and the ilour pillars gleaming white and calm in the mad night. Slowly a single Figure toiled up the path and stood beside them, a rebel exulting in the sullcy mood of nature, linding it a retlection ol his own experience. l-le stood with lace lilted to the lashing rain, and then he laughed at the marauding wind.

Then Mother Nature tool4 off her four-buckle overshoes, and the campus bloomed with signs of spring: anlclets, romances, hyacinths and the lowly saclc lunch a-picniclcing. What Sadie l'lavvlcins had begun in Janu- ary of this l.eap Year, Dan Cupid carried on vvith the unl4novving aid of the administration, who had granted 12:30 Saturday nights and honesty about open night sign-outs. Three cheers for the Aal ! Spring vacation vvas salvation to chronic sutlerers from spring Fever. The A Cappella, Leneans, Gospel Team and debate squad vvent on tour and became life's chief burden to the postman, the debaters came home from Knoxville with a pretty scalp or seven, but no dravvl, and the others had added some luster to the name i ol S C, too, l'lortense lvlonath, pianist, Hlhe l-larmonettesn, comedian quartet, and Hfxlfn Landon, ex-governor of Kansas, trailed clouds of glory and fame across the chapel stage.

More on the festive than the formal had been the annual Pi Sig initiation, but their banquet and those of all other organizations were the spirit of Hlfmilyn in lull dress, , Palely beautiful in the half-mist of every Southvvesterners memory the lour pillars stand, symbols of the traditions and ideals of all Builders. i L, 3 - .
