eniord With grim determination we have studied and worked to gain this exalted senior rank. Now, we look back on our years at Kelly, and with a heavy sigh, close the doors, never again to realize the days of lessons and fun-fests in the most enjoyable phase of our lives. We walk now, out of the role of senior, to display our newly acquired adulthood to best advantage in our future vocations, whatever they may be. A student is not lost to Kelly-a citizen is gained to the world. 28
