To bring their varied and boundless efforts to a terrific climax before
leaving the old Alma Mater, the senior class joined with the juniors to
sponsor the first annual Upperclassmen's Ball in the spring. Weeks of
endless planning and arranging went into the successful all-campus
affair where couples danced right until the last minute to the smooth
music of Blue Barron and his orchestra. In June, of course, the class of
'51 bid a fond adieu to the campus at Commencement exercises, and
left to face the swirling world.

A senior is usually busy, but few are as constantly
on the go as Paul Araquistain, senior
class president this year. A nominee for ASUI
presidency last spring, Paul has been active in
just about everything on the campus. Livinq at
the Phi Kappa Tau house, he spent much of his
leisure time across the street at the SUB.
The sparkling bubble on the senior champagne
glass was provided by Mary Clyde, the capable
and efficient senior secretary. With her fingers
in countless campus pies, this DG kept plenty
busy with senior correspondence long about the
time of the Upperclassmen's Ball.
Being prexy of the Phi Delta Theta house was
a pretty big job in itself, but still John Ascuaga
found time to devote his energy to the vicepresidency
of the senior class. A business major,
John was also active in Greek Caucus, IFC, and
Chamber of Commerce.
Trying to balance books and funds for the senior
class was the fate of Evan Ellis, senior treasurer,
this year. Striving for his degree in education,
Evan lived at Lindley Hall during his college
career and was well known in campus political
circles.
