THE SENIOR CLASS The Senior Class, consisting of eighth term students, is organized in a manner different from that of other classes. Previous to the eighth term, all students of the same semester rating do not assemble as a unit, but instead meet in different advisory groups under the supervision and guidance of dif- ferent advisors. This policy continues up until the term prior to graduation, when all students eligible for graduation are assembled in the auditorium and thereafter are considered as a single unit-the Senior Class. Let us look in upon a typical senior advisory meeting, that we might see how one of these meetings is conducted. The majority of the students have assembled in the auditorium at 8:25 a. m., at which time the president of the class calls the group to order. The president and his subordinate officers, such as vice-president, secretaries, and treasurers, have been elected in the preceding term at what is known as a New Senior meeting. After the class has been called to order, the president proceeds with the business of the day. This will generally consist of messages from our principal or from the Student Council, or various announcements which are to be brought to the students' attention. Certain matters relevant to the administration of the business of the class, such as the selection of rings, pins, and class colors are also disposed of in our morning meetings. The fact that this business is disposed of so well, giving everyone in an average class of two hundred and fifty students a voice in the business administration, speaks for the efficiency of the manner in which the senior advisory is conducted. From time to time representatives from variQ ous colleges and universities will speak to the seniors, informing them of the curricula offered at the college, the method of enrollment, and any other facts pertinent to a college education. One can readily see from this that we, as seniors, are prepared for our future Work before the day of graduation arrives. The senior advisory and class system, as now conducted, prepared us for our college or business life in another very important way, also. Our advisories in our earlier terms proceed on a more individual basis. But when we become seniors, We are gathered into one advisory and considered as one unit, much the same as that policy adopted in most colleges. And, of course, the business World takes little time or patience to single you out from all the thousands of workers. Richard Bromley, Class of Ianuary 1942. Page Nineteen COURTESY LOYALTY
