Vincent Sheehan, Harry Hollowell I A POST GRADUATE LOOKS BACK I put my bottle of fountain pen ink into a corner of my desk, took up a pencil and looked around uneasily. I felt out of place with the Class of '38 and missed my pals of the Good old Class of '37. I looked sadly on my Senior year, realizing that I could never recapture the good times, the hilarity, the big- ness of just being a Senior. In less than a week, however, I saw that my stay was not going to be as uncomfortable as I had anticipated. Already I was eating lunch with some girls who kept me in spasms of laughter. Last year, as a Senior, I said, That Junior class makes me sick-so silly- no dignity-the girls do nothing but giggle! This year I found that the reason I had said that was because I was just a Senior-with inflated ego. I found the girls, whom I had thought silly, were really lots of fun, and those I had known only by name, became real individuals. Last year I thought I'd never be able to look at another sandwich and en- joy it. This year, I've been buying my lunches occassionally and, as noon hour is always a time for hilarity, I can look a sandwich straight in the eye and anti- cipate its goodness.
