THE COLBY ALUMNUS 13 AVERILL FETED ON BIRTHDAY (See pictures at right.) TORCHLIGHT procession A winging down College Ave nue, Elm Street and Silver Street tartled local citizens early in the evening of December fifth. They may have recognized the tall form of Pres ident Bixler in the van and they surely looked twice at the white sweatered coed cheerleaders, while a throng of singing students comprised the other marchers. At 109 Silver Street, they turned up the front sidewalk to the house and sang "Happy Birthday to Dr. Ave rill " until the Chairman of the Colby Board and Mrs. Averill came out, completely dumbfounded by the v1s1- tation. On behalf of the Colby tu dent body, Frederick H. Sontag pre sented Dr. \'erill with a huge "Key to Mayflower Hill," turned out of pieces of wood which had been growing on the new Mayflower Hill campus. Mrs. \·erill was �i\·en a bunch of American Beauty rose . The A verills responded to the felicitations with cordial and appreciative words, the cheerleaders did their tuff, and a song . or two brought the affair to a close. The birthday celebration was con cocted among a few leading spirits on the Echo board and the two student councils, and entered into by a surpris ingly large proportion of the tudent body. That not all of the plea ure was the A verills' is shown by one re mark overheard as the crowd was walking home. Speaking of the A e rills, one girl said: "Why they are such real people that I feel as though I've always known them." PROF. LOEBS RETURNS A S of January 1st, Prof. Gilbert F.
