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 a lso 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.
