At chapel time the seniors filed in, the young ladies wearing the class colors in the form of blue scarfs with silver clock tower designs, while the young men wore blue and silver bow ties. At 12:20 they assembled in the dining room and were entertained at an informal luncheon. The tables formed a large square, the center of which was occupied by class colors. As the owl perched upon the tower eruditely surveyed the affair, the seniors joined in the college rally song before being seated.

Vacation Some students spend their vacation days catching up on all the notebooks, themes and reading time that they have left undone since the last vacation; consequently they are more fatigued when their vacation ends than they were when it began. Others spend their vacation having such a hilarious good time that they, too, are fatigued when the vacation is over. There are still other students who consider it a splendid time to catch up on all the sleep they lost by getting up on time for breakfast during school days, and they spend the biggest part of their vacation in dreamland. Fortunately there is yet another way in which students may and often do spend their vacations. This consists of a sensible combination of all the foregoing programs, and from reliable reports it seems to leave the student with a more complacent attitude toward vacations. Annexation The most vital question before the public at present is that of the annexation of College View to Lincoln. We feel that it should not be annexed. In the first place, the town would lose its individuality. When a person becomes unable to manage intelligently his own affairs a guardian is appointed. If College View citizens choose to be annexed to Lincoln, it will be assumed that they are unable to manage their own affairs. Men elected from Lincoln could not be expected to use the same discretion in licensing pool halls and moving picture shows in our fair city. With dollar lust in mind, College View would soon be infested with these obnoxious forms of amusement, and without a doubt we would have Saturday movies in less than six months. It would be a sure blow to our college enrolment; for what father and mother would send their son or daughter to Union College if it were located in a large city like Lincoln, when one of the very important principles of the denomination is having it isolated from the aforementioned questionable amusements? What would happen to the College View high school? It would become a junior high, and students wishing secondary training would have to attend the Lincoln high school. One of Lincoln's prominent educational men told the principal of the College View high school that if College View wanted a good high school she had better get it before she was pnnexed to Lincoln or she never would get it. Our post office would also come to grief with this new measure; for instead of its being an individual post office, it would become a branch office and all the mail would be hours later after coming through the Lincoln office. What would happen to the proposed new fjns line? According to Mr. Shaw, the president of the company, it will be at least ten or ious mission bands by Rodney David- as calmly as ever.
