At 11:30 a large part of the students were assembled at chapel to hear a remarkable program. Then the burlesque. In characteristic costume to represent the life history of the graduate, the Junior class marched in mock-solemnity down the chapel steps and out onto the campus before the rostrum. Here a priest and four monks performed the burial rites of the rightly deceased Seniors. The black casket, containing a dummy to represent the soon-to-be-defunct 'fourteeners, was laid upon the burning altar, and the priest then dedicated the lost soul to the past, whose spirit they so successfully emulated.APRIL 10.-The Jinks! All it needed was a few elephants and a pair of snails to make it a replica of Noah's Ark-inside and out. Fortunately it lacked the weight of the first and the slowness of the second. Some characterized it as a cross between a riot in Hong Kong and a suffragette demonstration in the Harem of the Caliph of Iceland. What? D. T.'s? Nothing like that- we went straight home, straight. It was good-"even if the humans were masked.""U" DayAPRIL 16.-The "U" Day spirit was abroad early despite the steady downpour, and Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors appeared upon the campus for roll call. The laborers-lower classmen-carried the water up the mountain in buckets rather than wait for the wagon. The big "U" was vigorously cleaned and then given two coats of whitewash. The heavy rains prevented the operators from carrying out the proposed plan of photographing this great pantomime. However, this disappointment was forestalled by our enthusiastic kodakers. Lila Eccles and Armorel Dixon, who had charge of lunch and entertainments, kept the other half of the school busy setting tables and "filling" plates. At 12 o'clock lunch held the undivided attention of about four hundred youths and upper classmen. Cabaret entertainers received applause from the "aproned" bystanders, although they were necessarily ignored by the hungry men. Hunger having been satisfied, "to the Rostrum and fill your brains" was the next command. Dedication of the historic stone was followed by the "marine" tug of war, in which the Freshmen showed their valor. Baseball was played between the 'Varsity and Alumni, the former carrying off the laurels. As a grand culmination of the day's events, the dance in the evening, initiated the new building into the spirit of "U" Day.217 |
