1941 GRO’.iTS ITP The senior cl- ss of forty-one hnve finally ' become youn; men and women. They have achieved that stage of maturity vjhich is quite noticeable. It is outstanding physically .and mentally, in apnearanco, thoughts, words, and deeds — the first strong figure of adulthood has trod on their tees. Physically they have lost that awkwardness of motion wliich is often evident in many younger people. The majority have dcvoloDod c ' ' .rriago and poise, v hich is accompanied by a very self-ct. ' nfidcnt air. ' ’ hen any of the seniors arc sent to the office, they sv ing along is a manner very solf-relian and unafr.aid. The senior errriago is much more military, after four yc ' rs of physical training. It oossesscs a groat do .! of pride, and it is not the nride of a selfish, haughty person. The boys have obtained a. more manly look th? n they had three or four yc.ars ago, for thej ' ’ have acoulrc ' d a great uerl of muscle and brawn. The girls, on the other hand, have taken on a more serious attitude. Resourcefulness and reliability -are outstanding characteristics. Both boys and girls have .a more settled appearance. Mentally they are not so easily dis- tracted or disturbed by side interests, as they were four years ago. Their interests are more sedate things. Their future seems to be of the utmost importance to them nox ' . As they get older the v crld in general bcconcs more a p.art of them. Nev spapers, good magazines and international subjects are of rior in- terest to them. Patriotism has decidedly become signficant to them. They realize th.at each morning vdien they salute the flag, it means much more than merely holding one ' s hand toward the flag and muttering a few words. The conseouenccs of thought a.nd action in life enter their minds. They realize they v ant to make something cf their liv ' c s, to get seme- vjhere in the world. Most of all they realize what a.n education means and does for personaJ-lty . ■‘ ersonality has decidedly been developed. They have learned hovf to meet people in a gracious manner and to make their most modest acouaintances at ease. They have ga.ined c-ntrcl over their temper and their emotlcns. Most of the f iris and boys arc no lom or shy and backv ard. Host of them have acouirod solf-ccnfldcncc and altruism. . That bashfulncss that caused one to pretend not to care about a freshman classmate has disapoeared. All in all the seniers have nox- become an addition to the group of young men and women of the v;i rid. They i.a. ' C at last, as one night say, grovm up.
