Show Founders Day of November was one of the big days As we have seen, Founders Day is nearing the height of perfection. Promptly at 8:50 Friday morning, Prof. Bleak gave the assembly call and the classes lined up in perfect order, for each was aware that the judges were making their decision. A great many town people were out to see the lineup, for it was a sight worthy of any city. The First Year Class, decorated with crimson and gold, led the march. Then followed the Second Years in green and white, the Third years with purple and white, the Fourth years in brown and gold, and the College with purple and gold. From the Academy gate the line turned and marched north to the Tabernacle corner, west two blocks, and south, along the hill for some distance, then turned east to Main street and marched to the knoll directly across the creek. It was a sad circumstance that the Santa Clara creek lay in the route, for at its banks that long line of First, Second and Third years broke ranks and straggled up the hill, thus losing the chance of gaining a blue ribbon. When all arrived at the top, a program was given. The first number was a selection by the school band. Prayer was offered by Jos. K. Nicholes. The chorus sang a song, after which, the president of our Student Body, Frank Crosby, expressed his sentiments toward the D. N. C. Competitive stump speeches were given by members of the different classes. Geo. J. Miles represented the College Class; Mau-rin- e Whipple, the Second Years; Jos. F. Ray the First Years; Henry J. Miles the Fourth Years; and Fay Hall the Third Years. A brass quartet was given by Prof. Earl J. The twenty-firs- t of this school year. |
