Class Day, beamed upon by a genial sun, followed the traditional sequence of events Saturday. The senior class marched from the senior fence to the speaking platform at the Webster Hall corner of the campus, where W. P. Steck, of Shaker Heights, Ohio, president of the class, delivered the address of welcome to the guests. G. D. Morris, of Belmont, Massachusetts, gave the address to the College, and J. M. O'Connor, of Salem, Massachusetts, delivered the class oration.
At the Bema, C. K. O'Neill, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, gave the Sachem oration and C. A. Anderson, of Jamestown, New York, read the class poem. The seniors then proceeded to the Old Pine, where J. B. Godfrey of Orlando, Florida, delivered the address to the Old Pine, and the senior pipes were broken on the stump.
The Class of '79 Trumpeters played again at 5:45 P.M., as they had the day before, and at the same time Monday and at 9:30 A.M. Tuesday. This music by a double brass quartet has been made a tradition through permanent endowment by the class of 1879, following its 50th reunion two years ago. The gift provides that a part of the program during Commencement shall include the Sing Out tune "Amesbury," used as a part of Commencement programs since the earliest days of the College. This tune was played Tuesday morning in the program preceding the concluding exercises in Webster Hall.
The Players presented "Berkeley Square" Saturday night with J. M. O'Connor '81, the class orator, playing the lead in this most successful production of the season repeated for Commencement guests. Later in the evening the College band of 58 pieces under the direction of Professor Maurice F. Longhurst gave a promenade concert on the College Green in an especially constructed and illuminated bandstand. The band also gave a similar promenade concert on Monday evening.
