Flowers are a Racket

For our alumni award dinner on Tuesday, we honored a successful alumnus who is now the chairman and CEO of a national company.

While he was a student here (in the late 60s), a tennis program was created because he was a phenomenal player.

Our alumnus was inducted into our Athletic Hall of Fame in 1992 for his tennis accomplishments. And if you took a look at our 1969 yearbook, all the tennis championships went to him.

On Tuesday at our dinner, he was awarded the highest distinction from the Alumni Association. Rather than do plain centerpieces, we decided to spice the blue and white up with some tennis balls and a tennis racket.

I think the florist had a lot of fun making these floral arrangements as well.
