The History of the Senior Class The Min must have shone a little brighter than usual the day that the famous class of ’18 first darkened the doors of Ye Old Alma Mater. And u-hv not? Were we not the brightest sons baton Rouge High had ever had the pleasure of tailing hers? At least we walked down the now familiar sidewalks with a bit more swagger than the Juniors and Seniors were used to seeing in the Microbes! We even retained our self-confident attitude until we gazed upon the baffling network of halls and masses of unfamiliai fates which gazed down upon us from the heights. Despite our well-hidden fears, we seem to have survived the ordeal: and only a dozen or so of us really Ixcame lost. Soon even the most frightening of the upper classmen ojxned their hearts to us and our lives assumed ever fascinating pattern of loves, hates, and extreme emotions of all types and descriptions which typify our freshman year. Came mid-term, and books were a thing of the past. School passed slowly from that time to vacation, but we came through, and with the passing (01 failing) of finals completed our first year of High Sell nil. S|x riingour haul earned tans and newly found bubble gum. we tramped again through the familiar doors and rcsuriicd our difficult tasks ol worrying about our latest flames and carrying on lively flirtations. We soon became accustomed to this pastime, however, and took care to sec that it didn't interfere with our large scale vxial activities. The few energetic ones kept the club work going strong, and still fewer of us even bothered taking books home at night. At mid-term we learned the all-important and ever-useful art of cramming which we have revered and respected ever since. June came before we knew it, and we were forced to bid a sad and tearful farewell to our close and dear friends, the se niors. He. gay and carefree seniors, must at last assume those- long sought-after responsibilities anti privileges known only to Seniors. With our senior year we rose to the heights of the third floor, finding that the real reason seniors occupied such high territory was to keep the girls in slim trim.” We also found that the kind considera- tion shown in this ease was in vain, for the boys followed like little lambs the- freshman and sophomore girls, while the senior girls, cards in hand, sagged into the “Scnioi Slump.” Despite this heartless situation, there were still a few love affairs (two that I can recall) to put spice into the daily drudgery entitled School. Luckily by Christmas Cupid had a few more recruits; and bridge, tho not a thing of (lie past, was played laigch in the aflet noons. After Christinas real fun began again with little regard for books. In fact, it was rumored that many seniors kept their fires going with textbooks during the beautiful white February wc had. At any rate we enjoyed the fine vacation, free from studies, wliidi snow and the llu epidemic alloided. The saying. If Winter comes, can Spring lx- far behind?” again proved true: and spring blossomed as only-spring in baton Rouge can, bringing with it that all-ini|x rtant element. L’armour.” Even with spring the teachers refused to yield the upper hand while more and more midnight oil escaped into the air as gases (matter can ncithei lx- created, etc.). Senior meetings were held, officers elected, and the girls Ix-gan to make elaborate plans for graduation dresses. We might mention at this time that the lx s also planned their graduation garments, the greater majority of them. Many a tear and happy sigh were drawn on that night ol hopes and fears as the girls tripped up the stairs in their flouncing folds, and we went through our graduation exercises and received our final blessings with oui diplomas. 1 he fatal hour ended and still more tears were shed as we walked down the aisles for the last time as graduates realizing as we went, that now high school life was over; now friends would lx separated: now we must say goodbye to the gay laughter and sad tears which have rung through the halls of dear old baton Rouge High for three full years: now there will lx only the memory of the g xxl times, and our loses and hates which will haunt our hearts forever.
