Our last year, as Seniors, has been all our dreams pictured from our first year. We returned to school with a strange feeling-just how should Seniors act? Though being a Senior is a responsible position, we had many interludes in which we threw dignity to the waves, as it were. Miss Williams' picnic at Madison was a grand success! And there were other days of pleasant teas. But the juniors did try to hinder us. They had a hunch that we were planning to choose one certain girl as Sa! editor-although it really wasn't difficult to guess that Dolly would be that one. The rest of the Board was revealed in due time and with due solemnity. And then Christmas. It was hard for us to realize that we should never take part in another pageant at Saint Margaret's. It might not have been so difficult, had the pageant been less impressive, less beautiful. Another interlude was our trip to New York with Miss White. We preserved our dignity there, but the interlude was charming, nevertheless. The day we got our Senior rings-can we ever forget it? They are the pride and joy of our hearts. Even now you can see many Seniors busy polishing their rings, letting a math problem do itself. But can you blame us? Soon after spring vacation we had the pleasure of reading our essays fwe really thought they were all prize, but as there is only one cup-welllj. And then another banquet! But this was a little different-we were the hostesses now and june loomed suddenly nearer. And then, what's of great importance, we decided to let the rest of the school know what our motto is. Sorry we interrupted your plans, Juniors, but you can't have all the time just yet. And then the prom-and Baccalaureate Sunday-they are too recent even to talk about. Today we sur- render our treasured steps and room to our late rivals of '52. Take care of them, juniors! Soon The Mikado will be a part of the past, even our Com- mencement will be only a memory. We shall have started out alone, leaving behind our loved leader, Miss Edell, and all of S. M. S., taking with us only these, our happy memories of four years of work and play.

Al carries in her right hand a. Sceptre, and, in her left, the key to some indescribable realm of exquisite fancy. Neither does she let her right hand know what her left hand doeth. One winning personality is an effectual weapon, but to two captivating personalities, we throw up our hands and succumb. A person of singular attributes is our Al: with her active mind, indomitable, candid spirit, profound response to beauty, subtle understandingg and unquenchable wit. We gladly pay her tribute on a grandiose scale. Dare we suggest the little impulsive inconsistencies that mark her our thoroughly human, thoroughly lovable, and inelfably charming Al?

Being as she is our editor-in-chief, we dare not ramble, as well we might, fearing lest the editorial blue pencil, guided by modesty, might obliterate these our ramblings. We endeavor to imply, however, so cleverly that we avoid offense, that her charms beguile us, her achievements awe us, and her superhuman knowledge-plus her critical insight into the mind of humanity-terrify us. As for her own sweet self, this bewitches us entirely! And now we are compelled to leave this unhnished, because Mr. Webster lacks suitable words to fashion a paragraph giving any adequate idea of our super-brilliant, ultra-clever, and entirely lovable Dolly!
