TO THE LOWLY FRESHMAN, A SENIOR REPRESENTS the pinnacle of life. But, as the Freshman advances through college, the original glory of a Senior fades, until, when the big year arrives, it has disappeared completely. Even so, the Senior is all things to all Freshmen, though scorned by those who really know him. He is the acknowledged leader in campus affairs, being president of organizations, captain of teams, collector of telephone numbers and the fountain of knowledge. As Seniors, students finally learn how to live a college life. Their time is carefully parceled out so that each component gets its proper share. During the semester, days are spent in class, the Bookstore, the Kursaal or in town. Evenings are spent at club meetings, bridge or bull sessions. Study¬ ing is done the night before exams when the other ac¬ tivities must be regretfully forgone. But there is much for a Senior to learn in his unor¬ thodox method of study. Bull sessions, some lasting a greater part of the night, very often leave the standard topics of women, sports and bridge to enter the more vital fields of politics. Then again, the Senior, as Commence¬ ment draws near, takes a much more lively interest in the post-college world. In all, a Senior’s life is a little bit of heaven to all those who are not in their last two terms. But to those about to leave the college, the Senior year is merely another way station, pleasant but brief.
