Sink Vine from Battle Fields of France, A ceremony impressive and unusual was the morning Ivy Day program to day. Instead of the usual haphazard arrangement of the Ivy Day oration, the senior poem and the planting of the Ivy. the various traditions were united Into a coherent whole and pre sented with the May Queen's throne as a central stage. The plan was worked out by Prof. H. B. Alexander, of the department of philosophy. The morning was bright and clear, and the sun, although summer-warm ws cot uncomfortable in the keen spring air. It was shortly after 10 o'clock that'the chorus of Junior, soph omore, and freshmen girls heralded the opening of the Ivy Day pageant by forming a large circle in front of the May Queen's throne, which was placed In front the portals of her palace Two buglers announced the approach of the May Queen. The Queen's March The inarch of the queen was led by the traditional Ivy chain, formed by Senior girls In white, bearing a wreath of green. The crowd waited breath lessly to eee who the honored co-ed might be. Slowly she marched and stately, toward -the entrance of the ring, preceded by a herald and fol lowed by her tftiin -bearers. The co-ed whom senior women had chosen to honor was Edith Ynngblut, of Lincoln. When the Queen was -duly seated on her throne, with much pomp and cere mony, Gertrude Munger read the Sen ior poem, written by Edna Hathway.j Then a bearer of the Ivy, sent from! France by Herbert Reese and Marcus . Poteet, came and placed it at the, throne of the Queen. She rose and; presented It to D. V. Stephens. Junior' class president, and Dwight Thomas, acting in place of Elizabeth Erazim,, senior president, who took the vine: and planted it along with other his-j toric ramblers. A hush fell over the! crowd, as the two men knelt to lci the Ivy In the ground. The thought of j many Nebraskaus who were celebrat-; tog this Ivy Day in France sobtered; those who watched the ceremony. j Alter planting the Ivy, six cadets j marched into the Ivy ring, bearing Al-j lied flags. Following the cadets was; the Ivy Day orator, Everett Randall.! Six Bed Cross nurses were next Then j came the University service flag, with ; Its MOB stars. It was placed at the; foot of the steps leading up to the. Queen's throne. Eandall mounted the ( steps, delivered his oration, address-j ing It to the flag, which was symbolic j of those who hare gone. When the oration was finished, the entire audience arose and sang Amer ica, which completed the pageant. The text of Randall's oration was as folio vj: in - v EVERETT RANDALL Ivy Day Orator.
