We'll need plenty of spirit if we're going to beat Fairfield this year. December 1. Looking forward to Christmas, we resolve to be on our best behavior from now on. Let's hope that we can be as good actors as the members of the senior play. Spring Green was a superb productiong especially when you consider that it was presented in record time. December 19. Shirley Nieuwboer got our votes to- day for the D.A.R. award. A December 26. Nobody believed that we could do itg and we had a little trouble obtaining permission for this Christmas Formal, but it certainly was a wonderful Christmas present. The Ritz ballroom, the gorgeous evening gowns, and Bill VVhalen and Shirley Nieuwboer, the king and queen of the winter festival, all contributed to make this one of the brightest spots on our entire social calendar. March 20. VVittiest, best looking, most likely to succeed. VVhat a grueling experience! Finally, however, we have filled out the list of class characteristics. llarch 21. Our mothers came back for another con- ference with the teachers at the Senior Mothers' Tea. Frankly, we're worried! lylay 18. The final senior assembly. Graduation is just around the corner now. May 25. Tonight's the night. The much talked of Senior Prom is a reality. VVe may seem slightly nervous and hesitant now, but wait till we get out on the dance floor tonight. VVe'll show them a thing or two. June 8. Class Day. The last day of school is gone. Only graduation and two weeks of preparation for it remain. June 22. Our high school education is now only a memory, and a fond one for most of us. Only yesterday we were students struggling through textbooks. To- morrow we shall be members of a broader society in which the foundation laid for us in high school will be an inspiration and a source of strength. We'll never forget our high school daysg they have been some of the most enjoyable and fruitful of our lives.

The delegates, advised by their home rooms, meet with Miss blarie B. Cooney, the senior class adviser, to discuss the probable activities and problems that may confront the senior class. The Senior Class President presides over the meeting, and reports of all officers and committees are taken up at that time. The senior Director ot Activities and the members of her committee see that the social calendar is filled for all possible dates. After each meeting these representatives report to their respective home rooms and relay the minutes of their meeting to the class. Suggestions for further activities are taken from the student body. The successtulness and smooth-running of their group determine the quality of the senior activities for the year. 14 'k 'A'
