E he Svenrnr A ills nine Tradition portrays the Senior as an aged person, the nucleus of school func- 5 tions and the cynosure of the student body. But contradictory as it may seein, 2 the Senior of 1930, by no means, impresses the rational observer as such. 2 As I utter the word Senior, I visualize an indelible characterization of Joe Collegiate, strutting about in his Extra Special Kollege Kut Klothes, . displaying E a bold and manly figure. Studies to him are a matter of course and relaxation. H was the inspiration in composing the internationally known motto- Easy come, S easy go. The faculty greatly appreciates and heartily thanks him for his attend- 5 ance, infrequent as it may be. Yet to the lowly freshman he is the Ideal, the zenith 3 of his ambition, and his goal. 5 A reverent figure to behold, This marks the Senior very bold. His manner is solemn, his being serene, A And his scholastic appearance gains the f1'CSl1II131'l,S esteem. 5 I can easily picture him-his manly figure slouched in a seat too small for him-a bored far-away expression on his countenance. The voice of the teacher asking him to define something, gradually brings his alert mind back to the class- room. He makes a feeble attempt to think of the answer, but the best he can do if is to grin. He cannot overtax his mind with preliminary high school work as he E must save his energy for college athletics. After about two long drawn out periods of school work, in the main building, he goes forth to seek relaxation in an annex 2 C Paramount, Loew's Greeley, or Capitolj, and so his day ends. He prides himself on his ability to learn rapidly-school work? Oh no, not that. His pride lies in the fact that after one performance, he can imitate the leading stars in song and dance. Q That is the would-be almighty modern senior, the faetotum of the school. His school above all, ready to do anything to his alma mater lead the others in ath- 2 letics. It isn't necessary to take studies too seriously, as he thinks himself 2 smart enough to secure a good position on the strength of his football honors. And 3 thus he goes along every school day-a clean cut boy, working hard and dis- playing fine school spirit. 2 If someone were to analyze the Senior, this would probably be the result. E lfVhat is under the clothing? The Senior undoubtedly. And under the skull 2 we can presume the brains of a senior. Then we are forced to ask ourselves if they 3 function, and to what extent. That is as far as the analyst can go, for that is a E question, which up to date, has not yet been settled and only God knows the pos- . sibility of its solution. ' -SAMUEL COHEN.

To Miss Shapiro we leave an entire newspaper staff so that she can follow up the current topics carefully. To Miss VVilliams we leave the ever-inquiring Economics students. To Miss Bartley we bequeath the new style of long dresses, long hair, and a pack of salmon cards to distribute to the students. To Mrs. Vernon we bequeath a basket for all left-over gym suits. To Miss Doherty we give a class of Seniors who are not on the Service Squad so sl1e'll have no difliculty in putting them off. To Mr. Hall we leave students who will come to class mentally as well as physically. All this we leave and these suggestions, gratis- Article 1-A practice should be established by the faculty of having social functions during the term in order that the students of various buildings may get to know one another and become friends. Article 2-At no time during the term should a boy or girl be absent from school. All those that violate this law will be stopped from going to the show. Article 3-Our good wishes are to be extended to-those that helped us Cpass our subjectsj. ' Article fl-When the seniors leave the building the school will have to close down Cand celebratej. Article 5-We the Senior class will certainly miss Textile for it was truly a 'taking place and made us enjoy our short stay. CThc only comeback is that it caused many of the seniors to get grey hair.j Article 6-We leave all our fine work to the Juniors and hope that they will be as successful as we were Cin graduatingj. Article 7-May the spirit of the Class of January 1930 live on. In concluding this, our Last Will and Testament, we wish to state that though life was not a succession of golden opportunities, even at Textile High School, we succeeded in gaining more than an education and now when we fare forth upon Life's tedious paths, we shall not forget tl1e place where four years of our carefree life was spent. We do hereby direct that our departure be accorded the dignity and pretentious- ness that our integrity, progress and position merit. We forgive all that are worth forgiving, and do hereby appoint Mr. Henry Schilling, chairman of the Economics Department of Textile High School, sole executor of our Last Will and Testament. In witness whereof, we tl1e Class of January 1930, the testators, to this our Last Will and Testament, set our hand and seal. -JANUARY, 1930. uummmunm '1llfI'IIllIIllllllIlIEZTliTI!l1IlllElillTI'lXlIl1'ILllllllllllllUIHIHUHIHHIIJll'lllIlIlllllllllillllIllllllllllllllllllllllll.HHIJIIIIIJIHIIUIILLI .mmlUlllllllllllllllflllI mIlIllllDTIIHIITIITIIIilllllllllllllllllllllllglllllllllllllIZHHHIHIPHIIWIHIEII1-LD l65l
