EDITH YUNGBLUT QUEEN
Crowd Silent as Upper Class Presi
dent! 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
