By MARILYN HECK
Nebraskan Reporter
Ivy Day, one of the oldest tra
ditions of the University began in
1898 as Senior Class Day.
The spring festivities were first
called Ivy Day in 1901, when sen
iors marched to the south side of
old University Hall and sang the
asking,

school song. After the senior class
president turned over the ivy
trowel to the junior class presi
dent, the senior dance was held.
Two years later, 13 Innocents
were tackled, and 16 senior wom
en did a May Pole Dance to make
Ivy Day an even bigger occasion.
In 1905, the Order of the Black
Masque, the local chapter of Mor
tar Board, was founded. The mask
ing of outstanding junior women
added more excitement to Ivy
Day.
Ivy and Daisy chains were added
in 1910. Fifty girls carried the
chains around the campus. The
first May Queen was crowned in
1912.
In 1918 a large flag of 1403 stars
was presented to the University in
honor of College men in the armed
services. Ivy from Doughboys was
planted.
When the war was over, the Lord
of the May was presented on Ivy
Day, but this presentation was
soon discontinued.
Ivy Day in 1938 included Farm
ers' Fair; E-WeeKr and; -the grand
opening of the new Student Un
ion. Now a May Queen, the Ivy Day
Court, Ivy and Daisy chains, the
Ivy Day Sing, the tackling of new
Innocents and the masking of new
Mortar Boards, and the planting
of the traditional ivy are all a part
of Ivy Day. , . ,
Ivy Day, May 5, 1956. won't bear
much resemblance to the first Ivy
Day in 1898.

One of the unusual features of
Ivy Day 1940 was the absence of
one Innocent. He hadn't been draft
ed, either. He was spending the
day in the hospital with appendi
citus. Until 1942 Ivv Day had always
been held on Friday with classes
dismissed. Indeed, until 1S08 regu
lar classes were held on Ivy Day.
