...FIRST CENTURY ends, Decherd's Board, which master-minded the Centennial celebrations, prepares to retire. Daniel Swanson '74, is already prepared to take over the business of running the paper, as soon as the last murmurs of the festival fade away. The people who made the ceremonies possible--Andrew P.
