THE RED AND GREEN enviable as the lower classmen, we hasten to correct that impulse. As Seniors, you enter the last lap of your high school career. The Washington trip, which seemed so vague and far-off, now assumes definite form. Likewise with graduation. The many little privileges which become yours, sometimes appear to be really not so numerous but they are if you will remember a simple proportion derived, we believe, from Geometry,or Physics: Privileges received vary inversely as privileges demand; that is, the less you ask for, the more you are given. Careful analysis has proved this statement, and we bequeath it to you, Juniors, hoping that it will be applied. We know that you prospective Seniors will enjoy yourselves while you work and serve. You have much to look forward to, and your life as Seniors can bring great happiness. Just how much, lies entirely with you. —Charles Petersen ’29 COMMENCEMENT PROGRAMME Processional March .............................

THE RED AND GREEN in three hours, $18,000,000 in one room, the majestic seat of our legislative government, the mansion of our presidents, and the “Spirit of St. Louis”—to mention only the outstanding attractions. This afternoon was devoted to such comparatively frivolous amusements as private sightseeing, raiding souvenir shops, swimming at the Y. M. C. A., and taking snapshots. John Dioguardi, to out-do the rest, decided to have appendicitis: this evoked a good deal of surprise and sympathy, as it was not included in the itinerary. The journey home was made in a more or less semi-conscious state, which was broken by a splendid dinner in our own dining car. It seemed as if the Seniors had all contracted sleeping sickness in Washington, judging by our demeanor the next week. However, the disease was allowed to run its natural course and convalescence was fortunately rapid. It remains for coming senior classes to share our experience; they cannot be described. To walk amid surroundings so rich in tradition, so prominent in our present life, so alluring in their future, has but one— the desired effect: to make us more sincere Americans. —C. P. ’29 A WORD TO THE JUNIORS Being a Senior is not, as some might think, the position of a hero. A Senior is, however, looked up to, not merely because he is one, but through his conduct while he occupies Room 201. It is taken for granted that as a Senior is older in years, he is likewise more matured in judgment and has a better sense of his responsibilities than the lower classmen. This conclusion is generally true. To make it absolutely true depends on you to whom this is addressed. Remember that such faults as you may have are noted with your accomplishments, and that both are taken as examples. Experience has demonstrated a few small voices to the contrary, notwithstanding that study is required to maintain one’s marks at the high level expected of a last-year student. A Senior is also often called on to take various positions and perform duties outside of class work. This may seem to imply hardship. But a sense of duty makes such work not a task but a joy, and it is up to you to regard it in that light. Lest this might lead you to think that a Senior is not as happy and 1929 Page twenty-seven
