UNE. July and Auxzust tluttered eurthwznrd. torn from the cailendzir of time. and brightly dawned the tirst day oi our exalted year. This time we srtuntered past the lowly underclass- men with our heads in the clouds with the reziliz:1tion that :it lust we were really Seniors, A heterogeneous collection of subjects served to dampen our zirdour somewhat but not to any creat extent. The clouds of smoke pourinu from ai room in the lmsement of the Science Buildinu attested that the smoking: privileue was lxeinu fully exercised. Time tlitted on and with the begin- ning: of Holy Week we made Il memorable Senior Retreat under the direction of Father Rector. Inspired hy his line talks and with the doctrines of Christ more Iirmly entrenched in our souls we went home to enjoy a merited Easter holiday. Returning once more, preparation for the Iinzil hurdle was begun and tinally the last test of our knowledue was taken. 0'Neill. Ahitzmte. Fleckenstein, 0'Brien. McArdle. Kane, Carey. Yun Hummel.
