Angelic Ancients Appetites We realized that night, in the very few seconds we had to think of it, that it would not be long now before you were the Seniors. You still have your best year at Abbot ahead of you beginning with that very small feeling that there is no one left for you to look up to, and that you ' re at the top at last; continuing with the excitement of looking forward to Intervale, the scared feeling between April examinations and the reports from the colleges, suppers at Sunset, your own play, lights , Senior Saturday Leaves, the Parlor; and ending with the once-in-a-lifetime sensation of an Abbot graduation. We envy you all these, and we pass them on to you with pride and confidence because we know that you will love and honor them as we have done. The best of luck to all of you!

Senior Mids OFFICERS Mclvor, M. Stevens, Hitchcock, E. M ' cMwray, Damon, Emerson, A. Garratt. Absent: Hubbard A mblers Animated, able almosts —you ' re a wonderful class! You have bridged the gap between Abbey House and the upper classes with just the right mixture of dignity and hilarity. When we returned from Intervale to see you in the dining room in your rose sweaters, singing with your typical vigor, we realized what a grand group you are. We saw it again after your picnic when your glowing faces and shining eyes indicated the wonderful time you had had, and the glimpse you have caught of the Senior year which is before you. You had to give up your plays this year and we missed them. But at the Prom you took us all by storm, you and your handsome dates. Affable Antecedents Alluring [14]

Senior Class Class Song Forty-three will stand together And be loyal to the last, For united friends forever Have a standard firm and fast; Our blue and white will lead us on And forever we will sing our song, Ever loyal to thee. No matter what the odds may be We will keep our spirits true to thee, Senior Class of forty-three. OFFICERS Beckman, President; Rutherford, Vice President Richards, Secretary; Sarris, Treasurer The Class of 1943 is the last of a passing procession of one hundred and thirteen classes and will be followed by far more. We have tried to make our mark in a year of change and decision; we have had to make an adjustment from attending a tranquil school to keeping pace in an Abbot which is taking an active part in a world of mechanized war. We face the future with confidence because our lives have been privileged with exposure to the four freedoms led by the light of wisdom. Our part to date has been small, but with the beginnings we have made in self discipline, sacrifice, and comprehension of the permanent values for which our country is fighting, we shall hope to have a part in the continuation of all for which Abbot stands, and in the preservation of the democratic way of life.
