And instead of having a room packed to the walls, and having to sit uneasily at long tables where you nearly suf focated, the alumni officers tried an innovation known by many as the "Sunset Supper." And most im portant of all the weather was per fect, not too hot, not too cold, and no rain. Towering white in rays of the setting sun, the big open armory was mecca to the reunion- ists and their friends. And what a t i m e! As you en tered there were nearly fifty Alumni Day hostesses to greet their friends and introduce them to others at the fifteen arranged tables.
