D.T. seniors sob adieu to fourth floor sanctum
The hush of the grave fell over the Daily Trojan offices Friday as the Senior Edition came to life. The usual hustle and bustle that usually prevails the offices of the D.T. was absent, absent because of the dearth of seniors.
The desk editor sobbingly, but vainly, cried for reporters and copy readers, but the army and term papers evidently had first choice, because only a few of the journalism seniors were on deck.
Slowly some of the weary writers trudged four flights up, bleary-eyed but ready, so the Senior and final edition of the Trojan was bom with the help of Dorothea Rawa, Mary McCarrier, Barbara Best, Marilyn Johnson, Judith Rubinstein, Paul Taylor, Joe McLain, Sicily Maloy, Dixie Wilkinson, Ake Sandler, and Doris McDonald.
With this, our final attempt at collegiate writing, we bid adieu to the sacred and hallowed realm of the fourth floor, and don’t think it hasn’t been fun.

Annual fete marks 60th spring class
When approximately 700 Trojan men and women march down University avenue and off the campus to the Open Air theater of Exposition park Sunday afternoon they will not return again as students but as alumni.
Commencement exercises wlil begin in the theater adjoining the Rose Gardens at 2:30 p.m. and will be preceded by the traditional academic processional with all graduates and professors in caps and gowns. The NROTC will lead the march with the Trojan band and faculty preceding the graduates.
This marks the 60th annual commencement exercises for SC and also the first since 1923 that the program has been held in the Open Air theater.
Baccalaureate and commencement services will be combined when special honors, degrees in courses, and honorary degrees will be given by President Rufus B. von KleinSmid.
One of the many awards to be announced will be the Asa V. Call alumni achievement trophy to Maj. Gen. Ira Eaker. The trophy is awarded annually to the alumnus who by
reason of his accomplishments has
MAJOR GENERAL IRA EAKER . . . greatest achievement.
brought the greatest honor to the university.
President von KleinSmid will also present the nine graduating NROTC seniors their diplomas and commissions. The nine are B. L. Coleman, A. O. Gilbert, W. K. Helsel, H. L. Johnson, R. R. Koontz, R. N. Nickerson, M. G. Poverny, R. A. Rowe, V. H. Wise, Jr. Koontz and Johnson will enter the supply corps.
Since 1924 the ceremonies have been held in the coliseum except for 1930 when they were conducted in the Shrine auditorium. The Open Air theater was chosen this spring because of the smaller graduating class than the usual spring number. A January commencement held in Bovard auditorium as well as the absence of men who received their diplomas early upon entering service accounts for the reduced number.
