On the football team and basketball squads the Grass blades flourish more than any other class. Both yell leaders were chosen from the Grass family. In the annual College play a Blade had the leading part. In the Bible reading contest another Blade won second place. In the Rangers Club more Blades take part than Weeds of other classes. Still another Blade won a Cedrus for having the best written short story. These are only.a few of the great accomplishments of the "Blades of Grass." But in all classes they out- shine the "Weeds" for verdancy. 49 A. B. and H. W.
