SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Senior! As a term it holds a variation of meanings to the members comprising this class. To some it is the grand climax of a course in Polytechnic which they began in 11 20. To others, who came by transfer this year, it is the passing of the first mile- stone on the road Vo a successful course in the line of thuir chosen profession. To the members of the senior class the approaching graduation means either the beginning as a student in life or the continuation in such a capacity in the educational realm. Owing to the lack of differentiation between classes, the close unity of the school as a whole under the new system, this class has not been able to run true to form as a senior class. Nevertheless, traditions of past years have been upheld, as the fellows participated with vim and vigor in Hick Day and Ditch Day. The class colors are also attached to the school shovel and the memory of the class is more than sentimental in representation. The accomplishments of this gioup have not been collectively outstanding, but the individual records of the members will not be forgotten very quickly. In club and campus activities, which have been few, members of this class have been more than instrumental. Throughout the whole of the class activities the spirit of cooperation has been foremost. With the deepest sincerity, we the senior class, thank Dr. Crandall and all the others, who have been such sympathetic, understanding, and helpful advisors during our days here, whether few or many, a nd are also thankful for the opportunities af- orded us by such a marvelous educational unit as the California Polytechnic school.
