Know they were bred in Delaware, For to all tis aware That Delaware's the nest of th' old blue hen, The home of Coldwells' fighting men. They heroes proved in country's need, For they were of true blue-hen breed; In Delaware they lived content, And free indeed in County Kent: For fathers crossed the stormy sea, That here their children might be free. THOMAS IRONS. On P;zrting Old College, sad, alone, you stand Under the shade of the trees grown old With the rain and the sleet and the snow, Under the lee of the hill, fair mold Of a nation's pride, a king's decp woe, Under the blue of a sky, pale gold When the fading sun, its journey slow, Sinks in the sca, like one grown old With life's great appetite to know Old College, sad, alone, you stand. We leave you now, unweary, sec us smile? For after all, a tear is like a smile, Since both may lead to present joys or griefs. We've reaped alike the intermingling sheafs Of good and bad, of thoughts beyond belief. We leave you now, unweary, see us smile? Old College, still and sad and all alone Your aging frame regrets the flecing time. We have been friends, for every stone Conceals within itself a sacred shrine Where youth has worshipped love and art. We met with mutual truse, so let us part. We must not falter now. Our race is run, Yours has been just as hard, yet just begun. For ever, 'till the dawn of judgment come, Your heart be true, your victory won. G.R. L.

The University is entering wpon a period in ics dtl't:nEmcnI which will be marked by constantly increasing endowment and equipment for the grear work a Stace Universicy can do il given the resonrces. Yer, even while we thus congratulate ourselves upen the encowragement of berrer macerial facilities for aur work, should we not ask oursclves whether the insticution is accepring the responsibilicy it owes the Seate and the friends from whom these larger opportunities come. Throughout histary it has been the institutions of higher learning chac have fostered and developed the pewer of thought, But ours is 2 day, as is often said, in which swiftness of movement, tireless energy in pursuit of success, an endless succession of diversions and social accivities, and a passion for organizing and arganizations, are leaving scant time to the average man or woman for purely intellecrual interests or thar guiet reflecrion which alome can result in a sound philosophy of life for individual or nation. College men and women, whaose o municy for the rask is wholly unique among all the groups that com- pose our people, must accepr the challenge; must find courage to resist being drawn inta the vorex of endless aceivieies; must be willing to devore themselves in greater measure o chose processes of thoughe which, resulting in ideas and ideals, will coneribute not only o cheir own realivation of the best that college life can give them but also to the broader interests of the thought life of a nation, This is a difficulr program, it runs counter ta strong and established currents of college life; there are serious ohstacles to be encountered in an effort to effect so greas a change: indifference, cynicism, ridicule, and Amer- ica's grearese curse, the ill:ii.:-hflll e upen un tformicy. Wevertheless our col leges can never realize their highese urpose nor justify the confidence of those who support them until ehey can find morive and method adequate or even s0 difficult an undertaking as this oneaf findimg feme o think, Shall our college make cthe beginning?

Every Universicy Officer, I know, looks upon this as a peoblem which never will be settled to the satisfaction of all concerned. It is human nature to grow dissatished with food, no macrer how good or how much it may cose. It is here char seudent co-operation is most needed and is 50 often lacking. The old-time dindng hall seems unsatisfactory in men's colleges and everywhere the cafeteria system is IJI.f-Plil.i.'inIE the rocgular dillillg hul', which .giw-l:s the student a chance o cae what he pk'ascs and to come and zo as he chooses, To sum up.

To this end, the School offers instruction, through suggested curricula, in the fields of 13 Literacure, 20 History and Social Sciences, 3 Philosophy, Psycholagy, and Education, and 4 Mathematics and Science. Other aims and purposes of the Ares and Science School are more general, It ig interested only in the serions studentthe young man wha has a serious purpose in coming to college and is willing to pay the price of an educarion in hard work and decent conduce. It cannot and will not waste its resources on voung men whose main object in coming to college is wo gain social prescige or i escape for ae least four years from the necessity of earning a living. It endeavors to acquaint the stadent with the best that has been thought and said and done in the world, and thereby better o equip him ro take his place as a useful and happy member of society. Finally, by placing before the student problems thar require for their solution the ordeely exercise of his mental processes, it secks to train him o think logically and independently. To fit carnese students to carn a beerer living and o lead a beter life, to give them a real sense of responsi- bility, to train them tw think for themselves, o make of them more useful and happicr citizensthese are the aims and purposes of the Arts and Science School of Delaware College of the University of Delaware, E Ltz k chThe Blue HenW?

Obviously the threads that make up the warp and woof of chis IjE'l.'E!-I:IIH!I:TIE must be studied S-:i!!;:lfr' of in closely relared groups, for to atcempe to present the whole hisrory of mankind in some synchetic way would only make for superficiality. Some of these special ficlds, notably history of literature, are taught in other deparements of che universiey, but it will be the constant endeavor of the instructors in chis department 1o teiach history insuch a way that it cannoe be gaid of ic, ag an eminent historian once described ir, as being only pase policics. :'F Dfparr.wmr of ny!gg y discussing the future of the De parement of Biology of the Univer- sity of Delaware it will probably be beteer for us o express onf hn'u:w' for the future racher than to make a praphecy as 1o what will really take place; for the needs of the Uni- versity are many and the funds for its maintenance rather limited, especially in comparison with those of many other Stare Universities We hurr to cventually have a larger corps of instructors and a building devoted entirely to biological work, or pos- sibly to share one with the Department of Physics or with the Deparement of Bacreriologya building where we will have roomy quarters with plenty of light and both northern and sonthern exposures E-ml: are meeded for satisfactory biological work . The logical ouecome of this program would be added interest in biological work, greater zeal in collecting material tor our museums and, finzlly, che publication of papers upon our flora and fauna. In work of this nature the State of Delaware is sadly lacking, and it is sincerely to be hoped that definice work along these lines may s00n be undertaken here at the Universicy. ?GQWEThe Blue Hen m:f Department of Psychology nis Department recains its richness of diversity, being responsible for the teaching of all courses in Philosophy, Psychology and Sociology. One of the difficulties in the work of this Deparement up to the present has been thar all of our courses have been pd'j Eif Y fiar Ruphl,rmurl:s aml Jm:iur.'i, 1llrrc bc:'l:lg alH sl:r;ul:.d course in anv of the three subjeces. Thus a Senior, who had become interested in any one of these subjeces, could not take any further work in that subjece. This limitation in the number of courses which could be offered has made it impossible for a student to get the ground- ing in any of these courses which is necessary for pursuing gradu:m-. stady in them, Bur with two new courses in hilosophy and a Psychological Laboracory, this difficaloy has been partially overcome. A new course in Sociology will be n::-tLI:l'cd next year, and there are hopes for furcher developments. g i Department of Education ue Department of Education secks Tm fulfl:ll a two-fold funceion. It aims, in the first place, 1o prepare college men for more ef- fecaive lay leadership in all matters pertaining to public education. Both in its imporeance to society ang its magni- tude as a corporate business enterprise, organized education secks the services of an informed public-spirited laicy. Con- Sn:l.lurl:nl-lr.' the -:.;u cgl; man who has studied its aims and - poscs, it program and irs problems, is in 2 position to render wise counsel and leadership. For those men who elect to enter the tzaching profession, the Deparement aims, o provide opportunity for the rechnical preparation necessary for such a career. Through scientific rescarch and .il:l'h'l.'.sringjul'l,, :l::a.n lling is 'h:cuntins more and more professionalized, and, like other professional fields, anly those may hope to enter it who have had che necessary pre-service technical training.

It is a pleasant obligation to chronicle the triumphs and glories of a career; to recount the merits of an industrious class and the worth of its members; to relate the pleasing episodes and events in the span of four years, But it has already been done; on other pages in this volume, in the athletic and social records of the school; in the hearts of those seekers of know- ledge who have traversed the beautiful cxpanse of Delawarc's campus, the deeds of the class of Twenty-nine have been indelibly written, 1 can neither enhance nor lessen them here. Our part has been played; our race has been finished in a halo of meritorious achievement. To eager and succeeding hands we now release the baton of accomplishment, the criterion of the traditions and lofty ideals of Delaware. Rather let us pause for a moment, while our college days still gleam brightly, and catch once again the spirit of those four years which have meant everything to us. What a host of happy memories: class fights, banquets in Wilmington and Phila- delphia, interclass sports, rallies, pep feses, dances, Proms, Formals, carefres good fellowships, imprompeu gatherings and midnight ralk-fests, friendships forms and high ideals realizedthesc and ochers come floating back on the tide of reminiscence. How exhilerating to remember the many escapades, the multitude of events which have caused our time spent here to be filled with pleasure. In after years they will be our most precious heritage, and, when much that is distinct and important now has faded into the greyness of oblivion, they will stand out, like white stones on he pachway of Life, to bring back in a form greatly enhanced in beauty this gold- en period of our lives, It has been our happy lot to attend an institurion whose many years of noble tradi- tion and high endeavor look benignly down upon us. We have seen two of our illustrious educators, Doctor Hullihen and Professor Kirkbride, formally decorated by the French Government for outstanding work in the field of universal and inrer- national education. We have seen our campus affirm its national reputation for beauty through the medium of new lighting effects and trecs. We have seen the building of an addition to the Gym, making it one of the best in the section. We have added to our many structures a new engineering hall and an imposing auditorium containing the most expensive organ in American colleges and universities, We have seen the Woman's College expand by the accession of a wonderfully equipped dining hall and another dormitory building. We have seen the student body augmented by students from all surrounding states. And last, bue far from least, we have seen a fighting Delaware football team come from behind to win in spectacular fashion from 4 most ancient and feared rival. Wich ic all, this progress and immense growth, the 133 ! ksWThe Blue Henm:f spirit of the founders has not been forgotten but has rather increased through the YCars. And so we have come to our Commencement, to the closc of the most important chapter in our lives. It is a moment fraught with sadness for what is departing from us forever. A shadow envelopes our hearts, a pang of regret. So quickly have passed the years thar a sense of realization of the end, as we advance with solemn mien to receive our diplomas and degrees, is almost lacking. Yet though there is a shadow upon the heart of every graduate, it must be remembered that there is a light which casts that shadow. Let us, then, turn our faces to the lighe, that it may dispell the heavy mist of sorrow which overwhelms us. We have but little time to grieve; the sand of time magestically flows from the morning to the evening, and soon we will be alone, But stay! Alone? Members of the class of Twenty-nine, you will never be torally alone! In your departure you will be comforted by visions of the future, by dreams of the past. Rest sccure in the realization that four years have been most proficably spent, and that the annals of the class contain a heritage of which those to follow may well be proud. Your deeds are great; you have kept your honor inviolate, Live, then, firmly established in the spirit of manhood which Delaware has fostered, graciously imbued with the atmosphere of chivalry and brotherhood, forever content in the knowledge of accomplished ambition. Let us discard the aged mantle of sorrow, and in its place, clothe ourselves in the roseate garments of hallowed memory, The beckoning years are pregnant with aspirations of glory and success.

We firmly believe that the class of 1930 has never been equalled in all-around value. We are quite sure of the lacter statement and hope to give conclusive proof of the statement by submitting several facts about the class in the following paragraphs. Entering the University of Delaware in 1926, the class role was approximately one hundred and twenty five. Undaunted and unawed by the new surroundings of the college to which we had just been transplanted, the various members of the class ser out to establish themselves as an important part of the college life. In athletics, particularly, did the class of '30 distinguish themselves. On the football team, Dave Schagrin, Izzy Reitzes, Allen Barton, Frank Squillace, Warren Riggin, George Speakman, and Frank Staats proved worthy representatives of our class and college. Bur in the winter sports we took an outstanding lead in class representation. Besides winning the class championship in basketball with ridiculuous ease, we had seven members on the varsity squad of twelve, namely, Allen Barton, John Lecarpentier, Ace Taylor, Irvin Hill, George Harris, Dave Schagrin and Gordon Milne, Although practically all of these seven played in most of the games that year, only Barton and Lecarpentier were awarded letters. All of the others have succeeded in earning letters in this sport, however with the exception of Schagrin and Milne who transferred to Penn and Tufts, respectively, at the end of their Freshman year. In swimming Alec Taylor proved his worth by becoming one of the relay mainstays and a consistent winner in the 440, Baseball was also monopolized by members of the class of 30 during our Freshman year, lzzy Reitzes, 8lim Ryan, Ace Taylor, Irvin Hill, and Ralph Snowberger were all letter men during our initial year here at Delaware and these men formed the bulwark of the tcam. In track Cale Wright, Ralph Wills, and Ruggerio have won letters, Alec Taylor was second man on the Tennis team. George Speakman and Howard Pyle were also members of the court team, The soccer team had Ace Taylor, Gordon Milne, Lew Powell, Snowberger, and Ryan, as mainstays that year, During our Sophomore and Junior years the class obtained more letter men than any other class in school. Barton, Reivzes, Ace Taylor, Frank Scaats, and Frank Squillace were football letter men by the conclusion of the foot ball season of 28. Harris, Hill and Taylor earned letters in basketball during their Sophomore years. Vo7 o T 19$29W 77k M 00 e The Blue Hen 63d500 Meanwhile the five men who earned letters in baseball their Freshmen years con- tinued their good work the following two years on the diamaond. Alec Taylor caprained the Swimming and Tennis teams during his Junior year while Reitzes enjoyed the same distinction during his Junior years in baseball. Ace Taylor was elected captain of football for next year as a reward of his brilliane play during his Junior year. Every one in college will remember the Ace's wonderful wark, which brought victory to Delaware over Haverford this past season, In Ace Taylor the class of 30 has presented to Delaware one of the best all around athletes that ever trod Frazer Field., Ace has earned lecters in baseball, baskechall, foorhall and soccer and in cach of these sports he has proved to be a star of the firse magnitude. Allen Barton has proved his worth on the football field and on the basketball court. Scoop was elected caprain at the end of the past season and we feel sure that the team will have a real fighter and an inspiring leader in the person of Barton. In baseball Izzy Reitzes has stood out as one of the best maskmen the University ever had. But it has not been athletics alone that the class of '30 has shown. At the end of out Sophomore year the Review was stranded for capable leaders and Emmy Wilson became editor-and-chicf during his Junior year, the first time such an honor was ever accorded to a Junior. Flanzer and Rinard are Wilson's chief assistants while Kimble, Richards, Kirk, Leshem, Herb Cohen, and Torelli have been instrumental in making the Review a worth while publication. Ace Taylor piloted the class through our freshman year while Allen Barton was president the following year. Alec Taylor headed the class the past year, and together with Frank Swezey, and an efficient prom committee, was responsible for one of the best social functions of the year. And thus we could go on and on, writing columns about the feats of prowess and notable accomplishments of the class of '30. But as space is rather limited we have been forced to climinate much of our story, We could easily name other distincrions and acts of service to our school but we believe we have given just and ample reasons why we believe our class is the paramount class of all classes. And we close with the hope that we will receive recognition and credit for the service the class has rendered to the college.

Miraculously, 1 say, for had the Sophomores fallen upon us before we had become a class, there would in all probability have been no present class of '31. We beat them to it, When we first met as a class, we clected 'Cale Boggs as temporary Chairman. At the usual Freshman Night Rush the Sophs learned that che class of 31 was not one to be easily trampled under foor. This, for us, was the real bcginnin;evnf college life. We were presented with the usual Rat caps, baskets and books. We accepred as only Freshmen can the naughty tricks of the second classmen, and managed ro escape their consequences alive, Under the leadership of Boggs we rushed off to Dover to stage a banquet. It was successful, for the only damage done was to a few windows of the busses, the theatre, and a free-for all fight in the streets which had to be broken up by the cops. The Sophs were incensed at this lack of school spirit, and proceeded to make merry uneil Sheriff Azuka Azukum threatened to clap one or two of them in the little town jail. Hostilities ceased pronto. The banquet marked the beginning of a scries of events: Mid-Years, Easter Vacarion, Class Elections, Student Council Elections, and Finals, with the end of Rat rules and the Interscholastic Field meet coming between. Mid-Years and Finals did their worse, but failed to thin our ranks to any great extent. The Interscholastic Track and Field Meet held on Frazer Field was a gala occasion, especially for those who were tapped to be Druids, the Sophomore Honorary Society. Thpcosc who made the organization were Caleb Boggs, Lou Smith, Robert Ely, Jim Hill, Jack McDowell, Bill Brown, Bob Glover, Bill Morgan, Frank Gladden, Johnny Russo, and Joe Moran. This event, together with the burning of rat baskets and the finals finished the Freshman year. We did not, after a somewhat busy summer, forger to return early enough in the fall to thoroughly WELCOME the class of 32, They will surcly remember their firsc night spent in Harter Hall. Likewise a few other nights when we requested them to leave their cozy beds to chase across the campus in their bare feet and pajamas, The Class Rush did not go over with the degree of success we hoped for, but at any rate, it served to furnish a topic of conversation for many months to come. On January 23rd the Rats attempted to pull off our own stunt and elude the Sophs in giving the Freshman Banquet in faraway Baltimore, They did eat in comparative ace, but not quiet, for although they were surrounded by scores of policemen, we still found a chance now and then to raise a lictle whoopee. On their return to the Dorms, they learned to their sorrow that it does not pay to go to such an out of the way place to give their feast, for we bombarded them with everything but rocks as they tried to make the protecting doorways of the dormitories, Flour was every- where, and their rooms were a sight not to be missed. We were indeed glad to wel- come them from their long journey. We are quite certain they will long remember the certain ballet dancer they tried to make in the cheatre, the trip down and back, and their eager welcome at our hands. To say more of the class of '31 would require the gift of a prophet. lts history of one and a half years is complete, left-handed as it may be.

When fierce the battle rages, steel thine heart, Forget the pain, remember, thou art free! Be not like one who stands and waits forlorn The tide of strife. Anticipate the fee, Let every thought urge on the blow- Heroes are made and never born! Ambition sleeps in every human brain, Lies unattended, dull, of small avail, Until the ceaseless voice of soul prevail And leads it on to honor's open plain. Life is an open book if thou but read. Wisdom welcomes thee with open arms If thou but wish to enter in its charms. The eyes of lovers watch thee, fast thy speed! Brave youth, Life hath grear plans for thee, Put on thy shield, advance to meet the foe. Lift high the mighty song of truth, and go, Forget the pain, remember, thou art free!

It is directly connected with the college authorities and upon its recom- mendation, and its approval, these authorities have conceded much to the student body. Its members are chosen from the college at large, one or more members being clected from each class at a combined meeting of all classes in the latter part of May. The Constitution and By-Laws of the Council regulares the conduct of examinations, breech of the honor system as upheld by the Council, supports in a pecuniary way the more worthy c:r?.'m't'.:zlinns on the campus, and considers complaints arising from the student body. In 1927-28, the Council was largely instrumental in the acquisition of the present Taylor Pool. aa!?:$31E253E?Eiiiif1qf1fe Blue 1Ja11.GFEQEEEFtilE 5N5!i STUDENT COUNCIL 1928-1929 f:!'!'ff:rr.r Ricaarp Frewmcu, 29, President Avrvan Barton, M, Treasurer Epcar P.

It annually gives what some consider the biggest k!l;mu; of the year, the Spring Frolic in March, and also the Interscholastic Dance, given on the evening of the day the Interscholastics occur at Delaware. Under its careful eve, the existence of an honor system is made practical and valuable to every member of the student body, and it has done much to foster a better Delaware spirit. oI ERADR 19 29 CRSG TG DTG 133k ?mThe Blue Henmg DERELICTS 1927-1928 Taeopore Brck Vicror LicaensTEIN Henny Rosen W.

It is not national in scope, but devotes its every effort to the promotion of good fellowship among the members of the student body, to encouraging all forms of activities on the campus, athletic and scholastic ability, and the recognition of meric on the part of undergraduates. The Derelict Dance, held annually, is one of the highl.igllajrs of the social season. Although the carrying out of the ideals of the Derelict Society is not always apparent to the casual observer, it must be remembered that this is a secret society and its methods not openly discussed. The history of the formartion of the society is a peculiar, but hon urabF:Dnc--thc returned soldiers wished to form a hody of men who, in their estimation, were able to survive, as they had done during the War, the hardships, and the moral and spiritual temptations of life, not only to survive them, but to emerge victorious and a better man, a more worthy individual to adopt the standards of sociery. f 296Q96Wab 134 ?MThe Blue Hencamj DERELICTS Rosert BurTOoN Max GLASSER Wirtriam R.

On that day, with most of the student body assembled in front of Old College, facing the row of imposing Seniors seated on the wide steps, each Senior Derclict saunters through the crowd until he finds that Junior held to be worthy of the high honor. A ribbon is pinned to his lapel and he is seated among the older men on the steps. A Derelice remains active but one year, The recognition charm of the Derelicts is a small key in gold and white enamel, and has come to be very significant on the campus.

The Delaware Chapter, Epsilon, was officially recognized when in the fall of 1922 the Blue Lantern Societya similar Sophomore Sociecy founded in 1920 by members of the Class of 1923was taken into the National Organization. Other chapters of the Druids are to be found in Pennsyl- vania State College, Washingron and ?I::Hr:rsun College, Carnegic Institute of Tech- nology, University of Pittsburg, and Bucknell University, and Franklin and Marshall College. The aims and ideals of this society in general are: to foster good feelings between the Sophomore and Freshman classes; to stimulate collepe and class spirit; to encourage athletic and scholastic ability; and to promote good fellowship among students.

Smite ON the day of the Interscholastic Track and Field Meet held on Frazer Field, those members of the Freshman Class who are elected to the Druids are honored publically by being rapped' by a Sophomore member who affixes a piece of green ribbon to the bottom of the lucky Rat's' coat, thus designating him to be a future Druid. The collegiate standing of any fraternity or society is determined by the contri- butions of each chapter to the organization as a whole. The local collegiate standing of any fraternity or society is determined by the policics and activities rj the members of that body, and especially those attribures of the head or ruling forces. While one year may sce the members highly respected and in truth honored by belonging, yet it is true that no one vear should be taken as a criterian or basis of conclusion as to the relative merits of the body. Genius and true leadership in the case of the Druids lasts temporarily, and as the membership changes from yvear to year, the observor should not be swayed by the eloquence of the individual, the annual dance or smoker, but by what the Druids have done in the past, by their prospects of the future, by their a'l:!ppurt of the college and the student body, and by the degree of realization of their ideals. 9 29 R G TG DT E ?mThe Blue Hen m.f THE BLUE KEY SOCIETY Officers Norman J.

Plans are also being formulated to petition some honor- ary forensic society. This year the club debated Washingron College of Chestertown, Md. and Gettys- burg College of Gettysburg, Pa., on the Jury question. The squads were successful in both debates and now a debate is being scheduled for our Freshman team with Wilmingron High School. Debates are also being ar- ranged with N. Y. U. and Haverford. Of course the work so far may scem small, but the organization is young and we have done well.

Every Ag'' student is eligible for membership, and most of the YAg faculty are also members. The nominal membership fee is used to defray the cost of lectures and part of the expense of the Annual Ag Club Banquer. Meerings arc held semi- monthly. Several times during the year agricultural leaders from beyond our Campus are brought in to speak on special phases of agricultural endeavor; occasionally il- lustrated lectures are given in Wolf Hall. The two most outstanding accomplishments of the Club since 1927 have been the reestablishment of the Ag' pin on the Campus and the publication of the DELAWARE AGGIE NEWS' , a monthly Illng:trinc This news sheet is written by the student members of the Club. Its contents include: editarials, Experiment Station news, College news, and personal notes of interest.

Confronting the organizarion was a great loss to be met, the graduation of Dale, Stroud Pool, Ellis, Gran, Rosenburg, Steele, Tremaine, Clark and Spicer, men who had been shining lights in the Club since election to its membership, Wich this handicap to surmount, and also the feehle and too collegiate Smax and Crax of 1926 to live down, the Club realized thar it faced a crisis. In order to replace those men lose by graduaion, it was decided to enlist the aid of che student body as a whole in the presentation of plays. Through the co-operation of Dean Robinson of the Women's College, the Club was forrunace in being able to secure the services of women students, thus doing away with the dubious procedure of men playing women's pares, as had been done during the Club's career. On January 12, 1928, che Footlighters successfully presented three one ace plays. It had been planned to present It Pays eo Advertise, but many reasons combined to cause an indefinice postponement. The three onc-act plays, The Jest of Hahalaba, The Twelve Pound Look, and Suppressed Desires, were given in Wolf Hall before a very appreciative audicnce, Critics were unanimous in declaring them to be the best ever produced by the Club, Since it had been decided to suppress Smax and Crax, duc to the impression creared by the player while on a tour of Delaware, and also by University appeal, the play The Show O, by George Kelley, was substitued. It was indeed a mose satisfactory substitution, for the Club, through ehis play, complerely regained the confidence and appreciation of the student body and the college authorities, The cast was: i R e S e T ; HEATE R S e R Babs Steele P L e L e e e Mirsam Kinard o o P I o i Myrtle Simpler i Ty ol T e e A P e S0 L b . .

Much credit for the success of chis play, which, by the way, was given in Wolf Hall on May 17, 1928, was due to the unselfish attention and service of Professor Blair, a member of the English Department. ?sem rhe Blue Henmg Alpluz Psi Omega THE FOOTLIGHTS CLUB 1928-1929 A.

Under the energetic efforts of Leon De Valinger, President of the Club, and partly due to the hearty recommendation of Associate Professor Marthews, of the English Deparement here, the Club was admirced to membership in one of the most well known dramatic fraternicies in this country, ' Alpha Psi Omega. ' The local chapter, Beea Lambda, is the ffty-ninth in the fracernity. The fraternicy was founded in order ta develop dramaric calent and the are of acting, to cultivare a taste for the best in drama, to foster the cultural values which dramatics offer and vo unire the dramatic forces of the colleges and universivies which have chapters of this order. The Charter members of Delaware's Chaprer are: Virgil Van Sereet, G. Richard Long, A. Donnell Marshall, Claveon N. Hesselburg, Leon De Valinger, Edgar Hare, W. W, Kirk, W. Emerson Wilson, John 5. Walker, and James F. Hill. On Friday evening, February 22, 1929, Apha Psi Omega presented four onc-ace plays, The Dark Lady of the Sonners, 'Minnie Field, writeen by Professor E. P.

Professor Blair again gave bounteously af his time o furcher the presentation of the plays.

With the repucation of a national fraternity in back of it, the Footlights Club can no longer be subjected to criticism relarive o past performances, bur is to be cxpeceed to develop into one of the most important organizations on the campus. The whole- hearted co-operation of the entire student body, however, is needed to make the new venture a success.

Bunsmas Simpson M 00 i The Blue Hen 65d3200- Review and Jownalz'sm THE history of the Review and of journalism at the University of Delaware has been closely connected with the history of the University itself. In the thirties of the last century shortly after the founding of Delaware College, literary socicties appeared on the campus and soon became of paramount importance in the extra-curricular life of the times, Each of these societies had its weekly publicarion. The Delea Phi Star and the Athenaen Gazette were from the beginning, rivals for the commendation of the students. In face these publications may be held chiefly re- sponsible for the high pitched and bitter rivalry which culminated in the rragedy that closed the college during the sixties. Shortly after the reopening in the early seventies a group of students interested in journalism started a college newsleaf called Our Sunbeam' which flourished for a time but which was eventually regarded as too frivolous a publication for an institution of higher learning. It was succeeded by the Advance' which also became extince in a few years. In 1884 juse forcy-five vears ago the students replaced The Advance' with a serious monthly magazine in which works of outstanding literary value produced by students were published with a general summary of the month's news. After some deliberation che new magazine was named the Delaware College Review. 1t was successful, from the first, in arous- ing the interest of the students and the approbation of the publications of other colleges. In May 1915 the magazine was replaced by a weekly news paper of the same name. This paper saw the rise and fall of The Blue Kettle of the Women's College and of Student Opinion'', the latter being a shore lived rival of the Review. After the founding of the University the words 'Delaware College' were dropped, the official name of the publication now being merely The Review. About this time the paper granted the petition of the Women's College student body that their representatives be admitted to the staff and that the paper should cover the news of both colleges. The Review, being a purely Delaware college venture, looked rather askance at this experiment and everybody connected with it breathed a sigh of relief when several years later the women resigned from the staff and the Review again became a purely masculine publication. The Review has always been a great factor in the molding of student opinion. The installation of the honor system was the direct result of a series of editorials in the Review. It has been responsible for many other reforms, one of the most recent being the abalition of compulsory R. O. T. C. for Juniors and Seniors. While the editorial policy varies with each new editor it has always been the object of each one of them to draw students attention to any evils existing on the campus and to do the utmost in his power to remedy them. Financially the Review is now a sound paying proposition. In the last three years it has paid off a standing debt of over a thousand dollars. When the college wmme Blue Hen mi paper was in sore straits the student body came to its support practically 10097, The support together with the remarkable business acumen displayed by Ralph W, Robin- son and Ralph Baker has placed the Review on its feet, Under the present staff the last bill was paid off and there is now a reasonably comfortable sum in the treasury. It has been the aim of the present editor to make the Review both a live news- paper and a means of expressing studenr opinion. It has even attempred a literary column while the Moonworshipper's column has also aroused much favorable com- ment. Mr. Poufton's witty and sometimes biting criticisms of campus foibles has caused more than one individualist to squirm. The students have made more than usual use of the Review this year in expressing their complaints on various subjects as is evidenced by the number of leeters for publication which the editor receives cach week. With the whole hearted interest of the student body in back of it the Review promises to become an even more potent factor in campus reforms than ever before This interes, if sustained, should place the Review in the forefront of college journals, a position which even now it may lay claim to. Kl Sy r . F 'R 50 The Blue Hen 62d5.00 Ropert P. Grassaurn Professor of Military Science and Tactics The Military Department A-mmr. the many manifestations of America's unpreparedness for the World War was an almost complete lack of reserve officers to hill the cadres of the great army which had to be improvised to meet the emergency. As a result of such neglect of a basic principle of national defense over two hundred thousand officers had to be hastily selected and hastily trained. Long before their training was complete thou- sands of other Americans were trusted to their inexperience to be led into the dangers of battle. The unavoidable confusion resulting from such lack of foresight caused, in turn, a great waste of men. To insurc our country against a repetition of such an unforeu- nate experience the Officers Reserve Corps was created by Congress in 1920; and, to assurc a constant flow of competent replacements for that body, Congress turned to the universities, and created the R. Q. T. C. From the misinformed and the misguided came at once much opposition to the R, O, T. C. The scope of this article will nor permit its discussion. Suffice it o say that the R. O. T. C. has now completed the phase of introduction and justification, and has established its position as an integral part of university life and an element in- dispensable to the safety of our country. This year it has at chis University, been placed upon an equal footing with all other subjects as contributory toward gradua- tion. I feel sate in predicting for the future a closer relationship berween the R. O. T. C. and the Officers Reserve Corps, as, due to the usury of time, the latter becomes filled with college men; and a consequent more generous treatment of the R. O, T. C. in the way of Congressional appropriations. LG IR 10 296Q56w M 00 S The Blue Hen adoo o J- J. Fuinm, Ju., President Major Grasssors H. W, Bennert R. E. Burton L. C. EruorT R. W. Frenca, Jr. E. P.

Captain Reybold's University of Delaware football team lost their first game of the season to Ursinus College 7-0. A sixty-yard run by Moger, the opposing quarter- back was instrumental in bringing abourt the defeat. The Blue and Gold team next hopped a rattler to Hampden-Sydney, Virginia, to meet with a 20-0 defear, and disaster in the way of injuries. Captain Reybold, Staats, and DiJoseph all mer with injuries that kept them out of the game for some time. St tJI::nI'Ii'LPu and the University of Delaware engaged in their annual football game, and atter four periods of bitter fighting the game ended in a deadlock, O-O. The Delaware football team was smothered under an avalanche of touchdowns in the next game, Johns Hopkins winning, 36-0. The Delaware football team lost a bicterly fought contest in the nexe game, going down to defeat at the hands of the Lirtle Quakers' from Swarthmore 7-0. The first half of the game was played on pracrically even terms, neither team heing able ta gain much ground. 'Fritz'' Creamer displayed some excellent punting in chis halt, and handled the Swarthmore punts cleanly. At the beginning ntPlh:: second half Swarthmore opened uf a line plunging artack direceed at the left side of the Delaware line. Weakening under an incessant pummeling, the Blue and Gold forward line slowly gave way to the Swarthmore backs. This prolonged hammering eventually resulted in a touchdown for the Quakers, Dellmuch scoring on an off-tackle thruose, Di Joseph and Glasser starred for Delaware. Castle, Dellmuth, and Haviland stood out for Swarthmore, The Blue and Gold team travelled down to Washington for the next game, where they defeated Gallaudet College by a 12 to 7 count. Long runs, stonewall defensive E;Iay near the safery zones, and hard tackling featured the game. Loveland and Ace aylor pulled the unexpected on the kick-off, and 24 scconds afrer the game had started, Taylor had registered a touchdown. Loveland took the kick-off on the 20- yard line, and raced to the right side of the field, drawing the entire Gallaudet team to that side of the field. Taylor crossed Loveland's path, received a short pass, and raced to the goal line. The Blue and Gold travelled to Haverford to meer our ancient rivals, Haverford College, in the last game of the season. The score was 27-0 in favor of Haverford, but it does not indicate the hard fought battle thar really cook place, most of Haver- ford's touchdowns being the result of long forward passes. Neither team was able to score in che firse half, although Haverford owice afvancud deep within Delaware's territory only to be repulsed by a stonewall defense ar critical moments. Haver- ford did most of its scoring in tg: third period, registering 20 points in this quarter. After this flurry of scoring, the Blue and Gold pulled together and threatened to do s0me scoring on its own account but to no avail. Taylor, Reybold, and Glasser played best for Delaware, while Tripp, Hogenaur, Kingham, and Newton starred for er. ford. At the end of the football season, President Hullihen tendered the football team a banquet. Max Glasser was chosen as the logical and descrving man to lead the football team during the next year's campaign. The letter men: Captain Reybold, Lovcland, Nobis, Flynn, Benson, Kane, Difcascph, Glasser, Rose, Draper, and Manager Wilson. William Hayes was clected manager for the 1928 season. ?GmThe Blue Hen m?

The Philadelphians displayed an offensive that could not be checked by the Blue and Gold, this mid-season form being due to the fact that they had already played two games. A well drilled and powerful Mount St. Mary eleven sent the Blue and Gold grid team down to its second defeat of the season on Frazer Field. Inability to break up the visitors passing game, coupled with brilliant gains by Biff Russo, a former Sale- sianum Ace, was the big facror in Delaware's defeat, The Blue and Gold travelled to Collegeville only to lose a tough game to a strong Ursinus team in an exciting and well-fought game, The score was 7to0. The team played a harder and better game than displayed this season, and showed a real stone- wall defense when Ursinus was within striking distance of the goal, Goldey College ourplayed the Delaware Junior Varsity football team, winning 17 to 6. Delaware's acrial offensive was good, but it was not enough to overcome Gaoldey's line-plunging and long end runs. mml9 29mw 183k GmThe Blue Henmj Diforeph tries rhe end The Jay Vees travelled to Doylestown and lost to the National Farm School, 33 to 0. The first half was a nip and tuck battle until the farmer boys made cheir first touch- down. The second half found a wearied Delaware team fighting tenaciously against a heavier and more experienced team. Conaway, Boges, and Manns played a good game for Delaware. Fighting against a more experienced and heavier team, Coach Rothrock's men made a wonderful showing during the first three quarters of the game with Rutgers. The disastrous last quarter resulted in most of the Rutgers score and was far from being representative of the earlier quarters of the game. The Blue and Gold team was in every play, smearing many end runs and breaking up a fast passing atcack. Delaware had given everything by the time the last quarter opened, and found it impossible to stop the Rutgers aces, Murphy, Greenberg, and Captain Rosen. The score was Rutgers 34, Delaware 0. Delaware, unable to shake off its losing streak, lost to Swarthmore on a muddy field by a score to 20 to 0. The Blue and Gold played their usual tight defensive game, holding their heavier opponents to five first downs, but the offensive failed to work, Delaware won a decisive victory over Gallauder when the visitors went under by a 25 to 0 count. The Blue and Gold showed a real offensive, and registered fifteen first downs to three for Gallander. It was Delaware's game from the stare, the team showing better form on the offense than at any time this season. Eck Morris started the game at quareer, but was replaced by Rose. Bus played 2 good game, and dis. played good field generalship. The Jay Vees lost to Franklin and Marshall Jay Vees by a score of 29 to 0. Various men on the team played a good individual game, but team work was torally lacking. Orth, who was put in the game in the last quarter, saved his team from a greater defeat ?MThe Blue Hencsm.f Mz, Saint Mary's arownd end by throwing F. and M. for a loss several times. The Jay Vees made out well in the first half, holding the score down to 6 to 0. Gradecki, star half-back of che F. and M. team, stood out for his spectacular playing, making over half of the touchdowns for his team, Delaware lost to St Joseph's College in Philadelphia by a score of 26 o 0. Se. Joe's passing atcack was the only high spot of the game. The Irish completed seven passes for substantial gains. Captain Glasser's men again weak on the offense, regis- tered only four first downs as compared to twelve for St. Joe's. The Delaware Jay Vecs ended their season with an impressive win over South Side Eden of Wilmington by a score of 12 ro 7. Although the 'Edenites were much heavier than the Jay Vees, they were unable to gain any ground on running plays and were forced to try the air game to make their score. The Delaware gridders brought the football season to a glorious end when they trimmed Haverford, our ancient rival, in a specracular game, to the tune of 19 to 7. This victory meant more to the college than all the games on the schedule, since Haverford had been our jinx for the past few years. After the Blue and Gold had outplayed the visitors in the first half, Taylor scoring a touchdown in each quarter, Haverford started a drive near the end of the third period which resulted in Tripp, its ace, scoring a touchdown and drop-kicking the goal to make the score 12 to 7. In the beginning of the fourth period, Haverford started another offensive and worked the ball up to our four-yard line. On the next play, Haverford's center made a high pass to Collison, and Hill, playing end for Delaware, rushed in and grabbed the ball, running ninety-six yards for a touchdown. A forward pass to DiJoseph's gave us the extra poing, making the scorc 19 to 7. This ended the scoring. The game was replete with thrills throughout, and it marked the last game for cight Delaware seniors.

The Brooklyn team was fast passing and well-coached team that battled throughout and matched the Blue and Gold point for point unril che last three minutes of the game, when Delaware managed to win by a five point margin Drexel ended Delaware'swinning streak with a 34 to 26 victory in Philadelphia. It was a remarkable comeback in the second half chat gave Drexel the win. The Blue and Gold, in the next game, was overpowered by the Mount St. Mary's tcam -of Emmitsbury, Md., 33 to 16. Delaware travelled up the Hudson River to engage the Army in the next game, but the Army had too many sharpshooters, and Delaware was defeated by a 40 to 21 count. In the first game after mid-years, the Delaware team came back to form and defeated our ancient enemy, Swarthmore, 19 to 16, in an extra period battlc. The Blue and Gold was no match for the Pennsylvania Military College Cagers, ?MThe Blue Henm? the result being that P. M.

In the next game, Delaware put up a ;;laur brand of basketball against Susquehanna and consequently was defeated, although by the close score of 16 to 15. Delaware got back into the winning column by trimming the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy five 35 to 23. Johnny Roman, who was kept out of the last two games because of an ankle injury, returned to the lineup and was a big factor in Osteo- path's defeat, scoring nine points.

This came in the 150 yard backstroke and marred a gruelling duel between Bill Brown and Cushman, the Lehigh star. Cushman in the last few feet, pulled away to win by the narrowest of margins, but he was disqualified for failing to rouch on one of the turns. The Blue and Gold swimming team won its second consccutive meet of the season when it defeated Johns Hopkins in the local tank by the score of 46 to 16. Delaware ng ?mfrhe Blue Hen m'f The Taylor Swimming Pool won first place in every event except the 200 yard breast stroke, which was caprured by Dorman of Hopkins.

The Delaware swimming team chalked upits third straight victory when it trounced the strong Lafayette team 34 to 24, Almost every race was closely contested, and the capacity crowd was kept on edge throughout the meet. The Blue and Gold got off to a good start when the relay team annexed the opening event, cach member of the team outswimming his opponent. The University of Delaware opened its southern invasion by defeating the University of Virginia. The score was 30 to 30, but the meet was awarded to Delaware by virtue of their winning the relay. The Blue and Gold team established three new southern conference pool records. The first fell in the relay composed of Reybold, Brown, Taylor, and Reese. The second record to go by the boards was a result of Reybold swimming the 50 yard dash in 25seconds flac. 'Bill Brown flashed true to form and established the third new record of the afternoon when he covered the 150 yard back- stroke in one minute and fifty-five seconds. Maury, of Virginia, also broke a record when he defeated Captain Taylor, of Delaware, in the 440-yvard event, The final and ?WTIIE Blue Henm? deciding event found Maury opposing Reybold and Taylor in the 100 yard dash, with the score one poine in favor of the southerners. The judges declared the race a dead heat between Reybold and Maury, with Taylor third. Delaware: 36 William and Mary: 26 With a day's rest after beating the University of Virginia, the Blue and Gold then travelled to Williamsburg where they downed William and Mary 36 to 26 in a slow pool. Delaware broke three pool records and onc southern conference and eastern collegiate record. This was in the one hundred and fifty-yard backstroke, when Bill Brown covered the distance in the remarkable time of 1:48.4. The former pool record was ten seconds above this mark. Captain 'Alec Taylor led the scoring for Delaware with two first places, defeating Phillips, the southern star, in the 100-yard dash. The new pool records were made in the relay, the 150-yard backseroke, and the 100-yard free-style. Delaware: 39 Franklin and Marshall: 22 Delaware continued its winning ways in the pool by walloping Lancaster's Fighc. ing Collegians, thus securing sweet revenge for the 2 to 1 decision in soccer played in the fall. The unbeaten Blue and Gold team took all of the events except the 200 yard breaststroke. The times made were not exceptional, since the locals were not extended in any race. Eastern Calfegiate Swfmmirig Association Cb:zmpiombzps 1929 The Eastern Collegiate Swimming Association Championships were held in the University of Delaware pool on March 16, Kojac and Rutgers ran away with the meet finishing with 48 points, Lehigh 19, Delaware 11, and Lafayctee 5. George Kojac, haolder of eight world's championships, and star of the Rutgers team, was the greatest atcraccion from the standpoint of the spectators. He swam in only two events, the relay and the 150-yard backstroke, but he clearly demonstrated his ability, as anchor man on the relay team, and by swimming the 150-yard backstroke in 1:44.1, a new record, Phillips, another Rutgers swimmer, also established a new Eastern Collegiate record by winning the 440-yard free style in 5:18.3. Rutgers ran away with the meet, winning six of the seven events. The only real competition was berween Lehigh and Delaware for second place. Afrer many gruelling races, Lehigh was ?Gemrrhe Blue Henmq awarded second place. The disappointing showing made by Delaware may be partially explained by the fact that in the draw for lanes, Delaware drew the lane nearest the wall which is the slowest onc in the pool.

This was the second game in this week for Swarchmore, and their eamwork was smoother than that of the Blue and Gold. The Delaware Soccerites were downed by the strong Pennsylvania Jay Vees seam on River Field, Phila- delphia. Alehough the score indicates a loose game, such was nor che case. Delaware POE UP A Strong cE:FlJ'jns: and played a clean, hard game, bur lost to a superior team.

Fencing M axms DEVALINGER Sassg Hare ADaMs Frisnig Porrs Ropwey, Capr. 5. A. CARSWELL A-FI'I-:H. lving dormant since 1912, fencing was revived at Delaware in 1925, George Rodney and Ed Williams, who were then freshmen, and Mr. Code, an instruc- tor of English, were chicfly responsible for the movement, During that year Mr, Code instructed all who were interested. He and Rodney cach donated some foils for the use of the students. No team was organized ac that time. In the fall of 1926 Rodney and Williams procured the services of Captain Robert M. Carswell, U. 8. A. to instruct the increasingly large number of aspirants. During this ycar interest became greater, but a team was not organized, In the beginning of the 1927-28 term a tcam was organized, and Captain Carswell rounded it into shape for competition. Ed Williams was elected captain, and Richard W. French, manager. The team had four meets, and made a crr:d:i:nglc showing for its first year. Lafavette defeated Delaware 9-8. Lehigh defeared Delaware 12-5 and 9-6. Rutgers defeated Delaware 9-8. The close scores of these matches were encouraging to the beginners. The team continued this year with Rodney as Captain, and Leon de Valinger as assistant manager. The swordsmen suffered under the handicap of being unable to use Ed Williams, who was last years star, in any but the two home meets. Delaware sccured onc victory this year, defeating Lehigh 11-6. The other meets, however, witch Lafayette, Lehigh again, Princeton Freshmen, Rutgers, and Philadelphia Central T. M. C. A. were such thar the Delaware fencers deserve credit for the showings made. The men who have been active on the ream are Rodney, Williams, Walter, Davis, Malcolm Adams, Kenneth Frisbie, Frank Sasse, Edgar Hare, Jr., Solomon L. Blum, and Leslic P. Potes. Leon de Valinger was active and efficient in managing the team this year, as was French last year. O IEDLRTAIR10 29 o6 TG a0 F M 0o B The Blue Hen ciasao Delaware Letter Men J- D. Jacquette L.

The decorations consisted of Christmas trees placed around the room and in the halls. A pseudo-fire in the fireplace added the final touches to the decorations. The London Criterions furnished runeful music from behind a forest of evergreens. Ower one- hundred couples, mainly visitors attended. The Patronesses were: Dean Winifred Robinson, Mrs. Walter Hullihen, Mrs. George E. Dutton, Mrs. Orlando K. Serahorn, Miss Margaret Clerihew, Mrs, Howard Williams, Mrs. Prouse, Mrs. Francis A. Cooch, Mrs. Charles C. Hubert, Mrs. Hughic Morris, and Mrs. Harry L. Bonham, Junior Promenade 1928-1929 One of the most colorful dances in the history of the college was given in honor of the class of 29 by the class of '30 on February 8, 1929, in the Gold Ball Room of the Dupont-Biltmore Hotel, Wilmington, This Junior Prom will live long after the mem- bers of the two classes have left Delaware. George Doddy and his Moalin Rouge Orchestra opened the dance wich the grand march, led by Alex Taylor, President nlglhejunigr Class, and followed by Edgar Reese, Senior President. The officers of the Senior Class were guests of honor, as well as were the members of the class of 29. In the receiving line were Mrs. Hullihen, Mrs. Dutton, Mrs, Taylor, mother of the Junior head, and various members of the Faculey. Doddy proceeded to fill the beautiful Ball Room with some of the peppiest music ever h:ar:fnt a Delaware dance. A huge crowd of students and guests tripped a mean fantastic toe, and every couple whirled and gyrated in ecstacy and mu:uaFenio ment. Favors went to the ladies, a useful and preety leather pocketbook, filled with some of the properties of the satisfying to the feminine heart. Let us suffice it to say that this Junior Prom was a wonderful affair, replete with thrills and pleasure. A Poer attends che Prom and gives his version thereof: Tonight while che flickering shadows Form fanciful scenes on the wall To my mind comes a deep contemplation Of Life, and of Dearh and of al The multiple looms from which patrerns are woven And voices which haunt us mg poignantly call. Yet though shadows o'ercake us And extinguish the light Still your love is a beacon In the vast gloom of nighe. The last full strains of music die away, The lights are dimmed and mystic shadows fall, Reluctant dancers thru the exit make their way And leave behind fond mem'ries of the ball. QOutside, a winter's moon in Heaven's silvery night Grows tired, and to'its bed of suuw-clnug creeps, The winking blinking stars fade out of sight A darkened world forgets its cares and sleeps. .

Sigma Phi Epsilon Formal On Friday, February fifteenth, the Delaware Alpha Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon held its Twenty-first Annual Formal Dance in Old College. Unusually attractive decorations draped the ordinarily formidable walls and lights of the hall, while approximately one hundred couples danced in the pale vielet illumination to the mas- terful syncopation of George Doddy's music. Alluring favors were in order for the ladies in attendance, and caused many favor- able comments. Everyone seemed to be agreed on one thing when the dancing ended at two; that the Formal was one of the most successful ever held by this chaprer, and it was unfortunate that they could occur but once a year. The guests from the faculey included Dr. Sypherd, Professor Byam, and Mr. Mac Daniell, while the patronesses were Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Dutton, Mrs. Tiffany, Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. Townsend, Miss Templeman, and Mrs. Jolls, Phi Kappa Tau Formal Alpha Gamma Chapter of Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity held its fourth annual formal dance in Old College, March first. e interior of the historic old building was at- tracrively decorated in old gold and Harvard red, the fraternicy colors; while from the balcony an illuminated fraternicy plaque ca t its rays over the happy couples gliding across the waxen floor. The charm and enchantment of the whole scene was en- hanced by Earl S8impson's orchestra, of Baltimore, which copiously dispensed music from a corner decorated with green plants. The favors consisted of amethyst pendants engrossed with the fraternity seal. About one hundred couples attended the dance. he patronesses were: Mrs. Thomas F. Manns, Mrs. Walter Hullihen, Mrs, George E. Dutton, Mrs. Charles A, McCue, Mrs, Hubert Wright, and Miss Elizabeth Kelly, Sigma Tau Phi Formal Delta Chapeer, Sigma Tau Phi, held its fourth annual formal dance in the college commons on the evening of April 12, 1929, The affair ws aunquestionably one of the most elaborate seen on the campus this year, The decorations drew forth much favor- able comment. ' The lights and chandeliers were covered with varied-colored crepe paper. In the center uiBth: Commons was suspended a huge revolving, crystal ball which threw vivid shafts of light throughout the entire room. Twelve different colored spot-lights served to produce the necessary lighring effects. Music was furnished by Harvey Marburger's Roseland Ballroom Orchestra of New York Cicy. The list ulypatrum:ss:s was as follows: Mrs. Walter Hullihen, Mrs, George E. Dutton, Alice Van de Voort, Mrs. Nathan Miller, Mrs. Rothschild and Mrs. Blumberg. Kappa Afpb.z Formal Many graduates of previous years returned on April 19 to enjoy the Kappa Alpha Annualy Sinn:r and DI::cc of 13:929. As in f:::rmcrp;-:ars the dani: was h!::fd in l:hc Armory and preceding it, the dinner in Old College. Madden's Bl:lawar:ms furnished music for the occasion while three men from the orchestra entertained at the dinner. The drab interior of the Armory had been turned into a mass of black, whirte, and silver. The entire scheme was modernistic, carried out overhead by suspended strips of alternating black and white paper and on the walls, by entirely covering with silver. A black drop bearing silver modernistic design formed the background to the orchestra platform, The entire hall was lighted by theatrical spots ang wing lights of man colors. The beams from these lights seriking the shimmering surfau: of the walls reflected the modernistic, vari-colored patterns in a most realistic manner. The physical beauty of the surroundings coupled with the happiness of those present made the whole a most pleasing occasion, W19 23W f217 kGQQ?MThe Blue Henmg k'cemmme Blue Hen m??

I had suffered, but alas, it was in vain. I had whispered, 'Oh, darling please let me, But her scorn rewarded my pain. She was winsome, and O, how I loved her! She was modern, burt told me to go.
