...Holmes '03, dean of the Graduate School of Education, was the master of ceremonies. The evening started with the performance of "Learned Salut", a very graceful and impressive ceremony by Peroy and Garsson, who followed up with a foils bout. There was no regular judging in any of the matches except that of the Lane brothers. The contestants chatted with each other and the audience as they fenced, and the sheer informality of the affair went a long way to making the evening a great success...
Righeimer next was seen in an informal bout with his former coach, Grasson. Peroy again demonstrated his unusual skill with the foils in an encounter with Levis, after which J. D.

...start the exhibition, Peroy and Grasson will perform "Le Grand Salut" which they will follow up by a bout with the foils. After this, H. C. Cassidy '31 will meet Lieutenant Stephen Conroy who was captain of the Army team while he was at West Point. With the foils once more, Righeimer meets Levis. The fourth, one of the two sabre bouts of the evening, will be between L. C. Winter '31 and H. B. Veatch '32. The two Lane brothers will next meet with the foils...
