Holding positions of leadership on the campus throughout the year, they carried out their roles with skill. Although it took them a few weeks at the be- ginning of the year to become accustomed to being Seniors, they adjusted rapidly and soon fully assumed the role which they had looked forward to for many years. And what an active role it was! Seniors led such organizations as: Student Council, Courier, Saga, Quill and Scroll, and Honor Society. Their experience was a great help in other activities: sports, dra- matics and speech, music and art, classes, and social affairs. The well-rounded Seniors par- ticipated in several of these activities. As the end of the school year came more and more into view, the stars centered their thoughts on the future: college, work, or the armed forces. Those who hoped to attend col- lege were assisted in their planning by Col- lege Night and by their counselors. Talk of scholarships was in the air. Those who knew they would work or go into the armed forces after graduation also had plans to make. In all Senior chats the inevitable subject of grad- uation- -what then? was brought into the dis- cussion. Few of the stars actually realized what it would be like at that final closing curtain until the last few months of school approached. The Saga coronation, the Prom, the May Fefe-these the Seniors participated in for the last time. Class Day, Baccalaureate Service, Graduation, and then it was over: the curtains closed on the Drama of 1952. Only time would tell how fruit- ful it was. Page Twenty-One
