Seniors elect their officers Jim Peterson advanced from Sgt. at Arms of the Junior Class last year to Senior Class Presi- dent this year. l-lis able and forceful leadership has enabled the Seniors to move forward, overcoming all the obstacles facing a responsibity-laden class. Pete can attribute his success as a leader to his friendly personality, loyalty to his class, and force of character. lt has been said that behind every leader there must be a steadying influence. This respon- sibility falls to Jack O'Brien, Vice-President of the Senior Class. Jack has filled this difficult posi- tion ably, lending his good judgment to hotly-debated questions and acting as President in Peter- son's absence. Another difficult office is that of Seni-or Class Secretary. To Ken Nill has fallen the duty of recording in his minutes everything done and said in class meetings, a hectic job to say the least. The workhorse of the class administration is Tony McBride, Class Treasurer. l-lis responsi- bility d-oes not end with collecting dues: his eagerness to expand the treasury has led him to develop ways and means of supplementing the weelcly income. ln addition to his monetary duties, he is the class handyman, performing any manner of odd jobs. To Bob Gamble fell the job -of retaining order during the class meetings. By virtue of his size, Bob has been able to lceep enough semblance of calmness so that he can be considered a sucess- ful Sgt.-At-Arms. df I . C CYSOI1, YCSI ' rien, ice- resi en g I 2 Treasurer.

Gracing the East Campus is the beautiful and majestic Senior well and garden. This is one of the various possessions of the Class which is held in high esteem by its members and other cadets on the campus. l-lere is a retreat for the Seniors when they want to hold informal meetings or entertain their girls. Whenever an under- classman is found in the garden, he is dealt with accordingly. Pictured above are the underclass presidents paying respectful homage to the garden in a ceremony initiated by this year's Senior Class. Following this scene, each president was thrown into the well to demonstrate to the Corps that the members of the Senior Class are the leaders of the campus. At various times throughout the year when some underclassman fails to show proper re- spect, the Seniors may talce it upon themselves to issue just punishment. The final graduation ceremonies are held in the garden when the graduating class departs from the school by passing through the Senior Gate. At this time the Juniors, Seniors of the follow- year, enter the garden and take over the responsibilities of campus leadership. To next year's Senior Class we offer our best wishes.
