Show A Founders' Day committee headed by Mr. C. H. Anderson put on one of the most ambitious celebrations seen here since the founders wore knee-breeches. The day included an assembly featuring a history of the school preserved on motion picture film, and an evening of departmental exhibits and demonstrations. Visitors were guided through the four buildings by uniformed ushers and were shown every type of school activity from drama to cooking. Judged best of the exhibits was the spectacular show put on by student chemists. The English and Art Departments also won recognition for interesting demonstrations. The success of the 1940 celebration guarantees similar large-scale demonstrations of tribute in future years. Each year the historical motion picture is augmented by action shots of various school activities, organizations, and milestones. As each forthcoming Founders' Day succeeds the last, the bio- graphical film will become larger, better, and proportionately more valuable.
