1HE 36 When I firsf decided fo creafe an average Senior by conducfing a poll, I debafed as fo whefher or nof I should spend several monfhs in an insane asylum in preparafion for some of fhe crazy answers I was sure fo gefg buf I finally decided fhaf affer four years in Evander, I could sfand anyfhing. Expecfing fhe worsf, I asked Senior affer Senior fo sfafe his views on various fopics. Affer spending monfhs fabu- lafing vofes, your inquiring reporfer arrived af fhe following conclusions: While all fhe Seniors prefer fhe more advenfurous fype of film, fhey like fhe sfaid and dignified acfors besf. The boys admire fhe acfing of Charles Laughfon, while fhe girls are affracfed by Leslie Howard. Believe if or nof, Clark Gable received buf one vofe and fhaf from a boy. The boys veered away from fhe more alluring acfresses, and casf fheir Iof for Kafherine Hepburn, while fhe girls were inclined fowards Ann Harding. Tasfes ranged all fhe way from Mickey Mouse fo Shirley Temple. Dead End and Tobacco Road , while looked upon wifh disfavor by fhe censors, were given firsf and second place respecfively in fhe ballofing for a favorife play. When if came fo choosing a favorife song, however, a real problem presenfed ifself. I finally came fo fhe conclusion fhaf if was hopeless. Wifh fhe choice resfing befween fhe Hungarian fhriller, Gloomy Sunday and fhe New Year's Eve favorife, The Music Goes 'Round and 'Round , I decided fo flip a coin fo see which was fhe Senior's favorife song, and fhe laffer fune won. Each Senior seems fo have his or her favorife feacher, as over sixfy feachers were represenfed in fhe ballofing. However, Messrs. Shamus, Sexfon, and Dlugafz received more vofes fhan fhe resf, and deserve fhe somewhaf uneasy fifle of our favorife feachers. Our prospecfive graduafes find fhaf even affer eighf ferms, lunch and sfudy hall have losf none of fheir fhrill and sfill refain fheir fifles of our fwo favorife subiecfs. As you musf have already suspecfed, Physical Training assumed fhe fifle of fhe mosf disliked subiecf in fhe school. Our composife Senior girl spends mosf of her spare fime reading and dancing, while fhe boy's inferesfs vary over a wide range of subiecfs. He plays baseball, baskefball and foofball when in season, and when if rains he sfays inside and reads a good book or plays Monopoly . His pef aversion is being sfopped in fhe halls by one of fhe Q men lMr. Quimby's Flying Squadl, and being forced fo gef a pass. The girls, as in fhe days of yore, sfill prefer fhe good old fashioned he-man fype, especially fall, blond foofball players. The boys like 'em beaufiful, even if dumb. While fhe average Senior says he received knowledge and a culfural background from school, some only gof headaches and ofhers didn'f gef anyfhing. Twenfy years from now, fhe average Senior expecfs fo have fwo children, a boy and a girl, bofh of whom will nafurally go fo Evander, and, upon looking over old copies of fhe Oriole, will wonder af whaf sfupid dofards fheir parenfs musf have been fo answer such silly quesfions as fhese.
