we graduate I I This is the senior section ot the I957 WAHIAN. To us this is the most important part ot the book because it is our section, and it represents us. Many ot our good times and happy thoughts are tound in the memories section, but this means most to us because it is all ours. There are no underclassmen sneaking into pictures, and each tace which we see, whether laughing or serious, handsome or plain, is tamiliar. These are the people whom we saw at class parties at Ramsey, seated across trom us in IOth grade English, Ilth grade history, or 12th grade modern problems. These are our classmates and our triends. This is our year. We are the seniors. It seems quite natural now to say that simple sentence, We are the seniorsl , but just nine months ago it seemed very strange. We entered Washburn last tall as seniors, what a wondertul teeling! It had been two years since we had telt so big, and even then it had not been like this. Since that day last September we have learned to accept the name, the responsibilities, the duties, the privileges, and the tun that go along with our title. As the years pass, and l957 and our class with them, we may lose sight ot what was once ours, but though the details become blurred, the names mixed, and the taces torgotten, and though the pages ot this book turn yellow and our memories 57 tade, time cannot erase the smile ot rem' iniscence which will creep across each tace at the thought ot three happy, hurrying, roguish years which were ours alone but gone too quickly. i957 is our year, and this is our senior section.
