Show Another mile-stone was reached in university history during the 105th Founder's Day celebration February, 1955. Under the chairmanship of Marilyn (Bunny) Reese, student body and alumni celebrated the anniversary with the selling of traditional red and white carnations by the Spurs, an essay contest, the last basketball game of the season, and a climaxing dance. At an excused assembly, comely Karen Peterson was crowned "Miss University of Utah," attended by Marianne Parlos and Carollon Hall, and faculty panel-President Olpin, Dean Austin, Dr. G. Homer Durham, Dean Bentley, and Dr. Beeley-discussed "The Future of the University." Issues included the university to be, the main campus, off-campus university, the student role in achieving understanding and appreciation of the university now and in the future. Writing on the topic, "Living Today for Tomorrow," Luana Love won the annual essay contest and a $25 savings bond. "As Time Goes By" was the theme of the Founder's Day dance in the Union Building and also a fitting climax of the activities to commemorate the past and mark the future of the "U's" building for the future.
