Soloman Dedicates Spoonholder

Citation: Stone, Larry. "Soloman Dedicates Spoonholder," Students Weekly, June 19, 1935, p. 4. Dr. Lous B. Salomon's name is misspelled in this article.

Amidst the frenzied cheering of the multitude Dr. Louis B. Soloman [sic] dedicated today at chapel hour the new million dollar spoonholder of Western Kentucky Teachers College.

Not a breath profaned the solemnity of the sacred occasion. A pin dropping on the grass could have been heard as Dr. Soloman [sic] ceremoniously broke a bottle of rare old milk (aged in wood) on the spick and span spoonholder.

The multitude cheered frenzily and went wild after Dr. Soloman [sic] had broken this rare vintage on the hull of the remodeled old Ship of Matrimony Causes, "S.S. Spoonholder."

The "S.S. Spoonholder" after being put back into shipshape condition, launched forth anew on its career with Admiral Louis B. Soloman [sic] at the helm. The newly-created admiral (not on the Governor's staff, however) has issued a call for recruits but as in the days of Noah, the crew must enlist in pairs.
