First Class Day In '89
A few alumni who attended the Ivy
Pay program Wednesday recalled
other years when there was no such
celebration. "In 1889," said one,
"there was no such thing as an Ivy
Pay nor did those pioneers of higher
culture worship a Queen of the May.
"That year marked the first Class
Ray at the University, however.
There was pn oration followed by a
poem and the class prophecy. Miss
Edna Bullock read the poem and at
the conclusion of the program Dean
L. A. Sherman remarked that if it
looked well as it sounded, it would be
a very commendable effort. He ex
pressed the desire to see it. Tom
Allen was the orator and declared
with an enthusiasm has class-mates
have never forgotten: "'The sedate
muse with her graven tablet dictates
to the future.' "

RED MARK IN 1920 CORNHUSKER
Whispers Link Chancellor's Name
with Year-Book and Scarlet
Dssh of the Pen.
Rumors are sweeping the campus.
Whenever anything important hap
pens, no matter how tightly the lid is
held down, the news always leaks out.
In connection with the latest event
whispers of Chancellor Avery's name,
of the Cornluisker and of a red mark,
are hoard. Those who have listened
very intently say that by order of
Chancellor Avery a red mark must be
placed in each of the twenty-five hun
dred Cornhuskers to cover a word
'hat appears in each of the twenty
five hundred year-books before the
twenty-five hundred Cornhuskers are
distributed. In all probability there
will be some wild guessing about that
missing word when the annuals are
given out. The one clue is that red
is a sign of danger, hence the word
must be dangerous for students to
read.

Number of Big Subscriptions
The members or tne University

scriptions were received. Two mem
bers of the faculty pledged $400 each
at the meeting.
When Guy Reed announced that all
those who wished to join the "Hun
dred Dollar Club" should hold up their
hands, the audience was dotted with
students who felt that this should be
their quota. When $50 pledges were
called for, nearly two-thirds of those
present offered to give this amount

that Nebraska will soon have the

"I would like to go for the experi
ence," he said, "but it is out of the
