This is the diary of a senior. It is our story as we shall always Want to remember it. It all began on a September morning, four years ago. The whole World looked topsy-turvy to us freshmen. Seniors looked oh! so huge, and We felt so, so tiny. VVe were more frightened than ver- dant, more awe-struck than shy. Science classes held a special horror for us. For weeks on end, We lived in dread of Freshman Day. Finally it came. We were initiated into the school and found our- selves being absorbed into its customs and traditions. Eager to carve our own niche in High School Heights, We joined with the sophomores to give a Victory Dance. Proud of our success, we donated the profits to a Worthy organization. Then-all of a sudden-it was june. The seniors, our ideals were gone, and We were sopho- mores. L-M116
