Never in the history of our in,
stitution has there Theen as fine a
banquet as was the ITSA dinner
held last week at the Lake Shore
Athletic Club. Perhaps. rather
than the notables assembled, the
most predominate factor in mak-
ing the affair a sucess was the
spirit which prevailed.

it is the first time in many
a year that our schooi could
really say that it felt ‘hig.’ We
helicve that the ‘timc has
come.’ but definitely, for Elli-
nois Tech to actually feel and
act ‘higfi There is no getting
away irom it. Thie IS a large
school and some of no had
better awaken to the, fact, and
give a little more of our time
and our spirit to make it live
up to that bigness.

Congratulations are in order to
President Dick Larson and es~
peeially to his right-hand man,
Earle l‘iuxhold, who so capably
handled the details of the night.
And, of course, without John
Schommer, the evening would
have been a failure, for not only
did he arrange for the gueet speak-
erS, but he kept the meeting in
good humor with his own wit and
speaking ability.
