Who is I. D.? It is one of the
University's oldest traditions, Ivy
Day.
Ivy Day was first organized in
1901 as senior class day. The class
president planted the ivy and sen
iors were the participants in the
program. Singing, speeches and
presentations comprised the day's
program.
Ivy Day was a "play day" for
seniors until the tackling of Inno
cents was added to the program in
1903. Coeds joined festivities in
1905 with the "Order of the Black
Masque," local unit of the pres
ent Mortar Boards.
Promotion of class a .id school
spirit was the original aim of
Ivy Day. Innocents and Mor
tar Boards were outstanding
Junior students who were
chosen by outgoing: members of
these groups to help promote
the school.
Outstanding senior women led
the first Ivy chain of women in
1910 while outstanding junior
coeds led outstanding under

SCIENCE CONTRIBUTIONS
Birinnie
III THE 190
During Engineer's Week,
Thursday through Saturday, each
department of engineering college
will present displays depicting the
contributions to modern technol
ogy and the promise of future de
velopments made by its particu
lar field of engineering. The ex
hibits are for prospective engi
neering students and for the gen
eral public.
The agriculture engineering
department will present two
displays. One, in a window of
Penney's, will depict a minia
ture automatic silage unloader,
showing the transfer of silage
from the silo to the feed bank.
The other agricultural depart
ment display, in Bancroft school,
will include farm structures, rural
electrification, farm machinery
and power and irrigation devel
opment. The REA exhibit will
demonstrate "one of the notable
achievements of modern science
to the ease of living the popcorn
popper."
Co-chairman of the agricultural
engineering project are Lewis
Lawson and Jack Nichols.
Chemical engineers will fea
ture a machine for the making
up paper from straw. Produc
tion of paper from straw illus
trates the accomplishments of
science In transforming mate
rials once considered to be
waste into valuable products.
Other displays of the chemical
engineering department, located
in the west wing of Avery labora
tory, will be a display the crack
ing of heavy oil into gasoline and
a flow sheet of a rayon plant The
rayon-making demonstration will
show all the steps in the manu
facture of that versatile material,
which even finds its way into the
manufacture of heavy duty truck
tires.
Co-chairman of chemical en
gineering displays are Stan Vierk
and John Kehm.
Civil engineers, whose co
chairmen are Dale Hood and
Richard Bierman, will present
varied exhibits including these
displays: A set-up of instru
. ments used in general survey
ing work and their purposes; a
model airport showing details
of constituent parts; methods
for the determination of struc
tural stresses and strains; high
way construction and machines
for determination of suitable
highway subsoils; and of special
interest and Importance, exhi
bits seeking to acquaint the
public with such civil defense
ing to Juanita Rediger, Ivy Day
publicity chairman.
Morning and afternoon pro
grams will be announced by Court
Crier George Hancock, dressed in
kun appropriate Elizabethan cos
tume.
Dr. T. J. Thompson, retiring
dean of student affairs, will de
liver the opening address, .Or.
Nathan B. Blumberg, assistant
professor of journalism, will be
master of ceremonies.
Following tradition, the Ivy Day
procession will begin at 9:50 a.m.
with daisy and ivy chains com
posed of outstanding underclass
and senior women.
Presentation of the May Queen
and her court will highlight the
morning's program. Although the
queen was elected at the all-coed
election March 18, her identity
will not be known until the Ivy
Day presentation. Virginia Koch
Nagle reigned over the 1951 May
court.
The afternoon program will be
gin with interfraternity and inter
sorority sings. Interfraternity ac
tivity and scholarship awards will
also be presented during the af-
hy?' - Phrase
A poppy covered jinrikisha'
formed the backgorund for the
presentation of the first May,
queen in 1912. Wearing a white
outfit and carrying a sheaf of;
scarlet and cream roses, Louise
Barr, now Mrs. Lewis R. Ander
son of Lincoln, reigned as May
queen.
In 1944, two May queens
ruled for the day. Votes couldn't
decide one winner, so Polly Ann
Petty, now Mrs. Arthur W. Ma
son, and Janet Hemphill, now
Mrs. Earl F. Jenkins, presided
at Ivy Day festivities.
A flag with 1,403 stars was
given to the University in 1918
in honor of students serving in
the war.
The ''Schiller Linden" was
added to the campus in 1905 as an
Ivy Diy feature. The tree was
planted to honor the German
poet, Frederick Schiller.
Other features have been added
to Ivy Day through the years such
as the fraternity and sorority
sings, band concerts and May
Queen court.
The court now includes two
devices as the application of
radioactive Isotopes., '
The display of military engi
neers will cover the entire drill
floor of the Military and Naval
Science building. The project of
this department is being spon
sored by the Society of Military
Engineers with John Prien as
chairman. The Fusiliers and mili
tary engineering students are co
operating. The feature display will be an
exact replica of the famous Bailey
bridge, developed by the British
and used by both British and
American forces in World War II.
The bridge is made of prefabri
cated steel, and can be constructed
and torn down at short notice.

star in the show as Danny
Churchill, a young playboy from
New York who has been sent
West by his father to get him
away from his numerous lady
friends, and Molly Gray, a typ
ical cow-girl of the Wild West,
with whom Danny falls in love.
Complications arise as Danny
demands that Molly return to
New York with him, and Molly
demands that they remain in her
native town of Custerville, Ariz.
When Sam Mason (Ned Con
ger), who also loves Molly, arrives
on the scene, a conflict ensues
between Sam and Danny and
eventually leads to a fight.
The show is made hilarious
with the antics of Gieber Goldfarb
(Hank Gibson), hack driver who
drives Danny from New York to
Custerville. He stumbles into
politics, is elected sheriff of Cus
terville and immediately finds
hinmself in hot water.
Two local gamblers, Kate and
Slick Fothergill (Marilyn Lehr
and Herb Jackman), make Gie
ber's job quite unhealthy for him.
The gamblers' cause is aided by
a couple of local desperatoes, Pete

kin and Richard Marrs), who dis
like Gieber's face.
The ex-cab driver runs into
further trouble when a wild and
wooly cowgirl, Patsy West

down, but she finds it a tougher
job than she had anticiprted.
