lg Dur ll2eiQq1 Is Dver OR a whole year, we have been the lords supreme! We have ignored the freshmen, crushed the sophomores, and trampled on the tender pride of the juniors. Last September, we swooped down upon the broken seats and the useless arm-rests, the proud heritage of the seniors, and at that very moment we reached the full stature of seniorhood. Ours has been the joy' of running first on the bell, of smiling chummily at the Student Council while we ambled up the wrong stairs, of being on intimate terms with the entire cast of the senior play. The world has moved for us, and us alone. And now, in one final burst of glory, we step down' from that delightful cloud to feel the earth once more.-- In a rosy atmosphere of graduation gifts, grad- uation flowers, graduation gowns, we make that last grand bow to Atherton. But behind our cheerful brows, there lies a store of things which will mean more to us than gowns or roses. Better than Latin verbs, than French subjunctives, Atherton has given us, we feel, a solid foundation for that vague and shadowy future ahead. She has taught us to make decisions, to meet emergencies, to work in harmony with our fellows. We'haveqlearned to take our fun where we find it, and to bear our sorrows to- gether. But the greatest gift that Atherton has bestowed on us is the beauty of friendships that will never befor- gotten, many that will never be severed. Now, armed with faith, hope, and a belief in Santa Claus, we hitch our little gocarts to the stars. All aboa-r-rd! Ruth Allen, '32 ll I I sixteen AT I5 E-13:37-O-N S
