SPOON To Robert McDonald, goes the Spoon of the Class of l94U, symbolizing the highest honor that can bestowed upon an undergraduate at Pennsylvania. Since the early l86O's the top honor man, nominated by the faculty and elected by his classmates, has been presented with a spoon, formerly of carved ebonY, but now made of elaborately decorated wood. The recipient of this coveted award embodies, in his personal character and actions, the ultimate in service and accomplishment for the University. BOWL Receiving the second award, Max Henry Leister, Ir., has proved himself in his university life worthy of his class Bowl. Since l866 this distinctive emblem has signified ability, personality, and character as best exemplified in a manner of the Senior class. The Bowl originated in the sophomore-freshman fights of the nineteenth century and since then the award, decorated with numerous fraternity shields, has served as a goal for every Pennsylvanian. CANE To Robert M. Edmiston goes the i940 Class Cane, signifying the admiration and respect that is felt for the recipient by every faculty member and senior. The history of the Cane begins before l89O, when sophomores attempted to keep freshmen from carrying canes by breaking them in half. Since the prohibition of these tights, the symbol of them has become the third of the coveted awards to senior honor men. SPADE Warren Brierly Smith has the honor of receiving the Spade of the Class of l94O, the oldest of the senior awards. Originating in the very early days of the University's history, the Spade originally served the practical purpose cf planting the class ivy. Today the aim of all seniors is to receive this decorated Spade from the hands of the recipient who graduated twenty-five years ago, and who returns each year to present the award.
