COMMENCEMENT ‘ The be all and the end all” of high school days, the halo-shrouded dream of every' little flat, the day which beckons as the reward of efforts, and, strangely, the day which, once arrived, proves too emphatic a period—Commencement! All day the voices of the senior class have been gay—joyous—but with the dusk, they grow shaded—muted—. Slender white butterflies drifting in the shadowy corridors, the girls congregate for that seemingly useless last minute preening” so dear to feminine minds and so utterly maddening to all representatives of the sterner sex. Last moment agonies—Have Mother and Dad managed to secure those center section seats? Are the bouquets to be very, very pretty? What if the Board of Education has overlooked some of the diplomas? Just suppose Mr. Bathrick wears his cherished golf suit instead of the tuxedo which this momentous occasion demands? Down to the gym—line up—line up—Miss Sampson rushing here— Boys, stop that shoving”—line up—line up—Line Up! Marching into the auditorium—Craning of necks, rustling of brief skirts, smiles of cousins, uncles, aunts, and what have you? Is this our Tech auditorium? In a few hours it has changed to gigantic proportions—We are at Tech, all right—there’s good old Mr. Dougan leading the orchestra! Down the aisle—Florence Haas, looking like a madonna with heavy dark hair sweeping back from her face; Maxine Johnson, a golden cherub; little Billie” Schoenthal. queerly solemn; Bill Medcsy—strange we never noticed before how like a parson Bill can look at times! All the boys look very much subdued—Even John Henry is sufficiently impressed! Up the platform now—all seated—a shaky little quietness like a lost sob—Mr. Bathrick is rising! No, he has not forgotten his tuxedo but if only he were wearing a gray business suit again and welcoming us to East Tech instead of wishing us a black tuxedo godspeed! Remember? All of us, brand-new shivering freshies, crowded into Tech’s auditorium four years ago? Vainly trying to act nonchalant, though literally scared stiff? Elevtn TMTj
