We, who have conquered this phase, can look with scorn on those who have not yet attained the mighty title of 'lSenior.', Who can forget the first encounter with such a specimen? Each book covered, an expectant gleam in his eye, our first blind one is anxiously searching for his geometry class. Unsuspecting creature that he is, he is immediately attracted by that most treasured possession-a blue and gold hat atop a worldly wise senior. In a polite tone, Cfor his junior high school teacher has taught him the value of courtesyl he asks, mln which secret hallway can Miss X's room be found?'l Need we go into the gory details of his endless search? We will say, however, that from this day forward he knows that VVilliam lloward Taft School does not boast a fifth floor.

The elevator reveals a conglomer- ation of that perennial blue and gold shouting in unison, Whores your pass? As the villain would say, Curses-foiled again? The three blind mice leave with one thought in mind. The theory of the survival of the fittest has reigned supreme. And the exalted senior illustrates supremacy ....
