Its speakers included Alfred Noyes, Hamlin Garland, Loredo Taft and others who spoke before the largest audiences in the history of the Association. The Musical Clubs-the Orchestra, the Instrumental Club, and the Band-claimed for their own more than threefscore of our hardy serenaders and embryonic symphonists. When Pennsylvania's mighty band, in colorful array, came majestically up the center of Franklin Field to the strains of the marching song, it was then that '26 was supreme, for at its head, with - W.. - s pq, V stately tread and lordly mien, was none other than our own , Shorty Marsh, the diminutive sixffoot seven Drum Mayor. f'i?,i1f A ' - - - - - '- y' ., Lg Geor e Eichner ave of his time as President of the Christian , ,., .,,. ,of .aft :l . g Association to mana e the Clubs.

Ivy Week came in state, the climax of our undergraduate careers. George Farabaugh was General Chairman. It was a farewell such as only '26 can boast. The Ivy Luncheon found us gathered at the festive board for the last time and fittingly served to usher in the affair we had looked forward to for four years. For the first time in several decades, the Ivy Ball was held away from the campus. The ballroom of the Penn Athletic Club seemed to have been converted into a veritable fairyland. The memory of its magnificence will ever remain in our minds. The Class of '26 is the last of the oldftimers. New traditions are being founded-traditions which will owe their inception to this class. Rightly will '26 be termed a harbinger of a new era in the history of the Red and Blue Today, as we bid farewell to our Alma Mater and to her rich memories, we are confident that we will continue to win, as we have done here. Our history of the future shall be as our history of the past, a prophecy truly fulhlled. We go out to conquer in broader fields. And so, ever mindful of our debt to Pennsylvania, may '26 prove that Ther achievements within college walls were but the merest foretaste of future victories in the struggle of life. We are not really leaving Pennsylvania, for the associations formed here and indelibly traced upon our hearts and minds will remain with us and make us loyal Pennsylvania men forever. , ., , , A ., .,., ..... , V A CLARENCE M.

J I - f- -P - , A r --A TIME-A.D. 1946 S A representative of a large newspaper syndicate, I was on my way to get the first interview from the newly elected Provost of the University, and my former classmate, Dr. George Farabaugh. When I got off at the new West Philadelphia terminal, the construction of which was supervised by 'LI-Iank Steinhoff, I intended to take a cab up to school but, on second thought, I decided to wait for the street car. My trolley came along and, as I got on the car, I was surprised to be hailed by Paul Crawford. L'Paull' told me he had made so much money as Chairman of the Ivy Ball that he has lived a retired life ever since, and merely drives a street car for diversion. ' At 34th St., I said goodfbye to 'lPaul, and started on my way up the Campus to the new College Hall. As I entered this beautiful building, I could not help but think of the changes that had been brought about in this University. I located the directory and found that Dr. Farabaugh's oiiice is on the fifth floor. As I walked into the elevator, I was greeted by the elevator man. Cn looking around I immediately recognized 'SEd Connoly. Ed'sM mustache was as beautiful as ever, and he still needed a shave. As soon as I saw George he began to tell me about some interesting work he was doing. I-Ie was engaged in compiling a directory of the present occupations of all the living Alumni of the University of Pennsylvania. Fortunately, he had been working on the members of the Class of 1926. I-Ie ref marked that the class had widely separated since graduation, but he was glad to say that most of them were getting along pretty well. Naturally, we started talking about the varied occupations of some of our mutual friends, and 'LCeorge mentioned these interesting facts. 'LWalt C'Malley is now District Attorney of New York City, and is also leader of Tammany Hall-a feat hitherto never performed. 'LWalt certainly has a habit of breaking traditions. Griffin is the general manager of the Statler Hotels. The smile that was so well known on the Campus is just as well known today among the traveling public. Ed Morine is selling passage for a trip to Mars, and he reports that his task is a much easier one than selling radiators to Freshmen. l35l
