Senior Introspection RACI'IEL TI-IROCKMORTON A Senior is like the God Janus, having two faces, one set toward the future, the other toward the past. The first is the possession of every young woman, the second is not. What girl, other than a Senior, has a past with so much in it? It is doubtful if there are any, and if we can say this of Seniors in general, how much truer it is of Home Economic Seniors. S Sages of a bygone day looked wistfully back to a gol-den age, and longingly forward to the discovery ofthe Philosopher's stone. VVe Seniors are in a some- what similar position, not that anyone would take us for sages, but in that we have put behind us the days of our careless Junior year and have not yet attained anything in the nature of what statesmen would call, an adequate knowledge. What have we to show in place of that joyous greenness which we lost sho-rtly after our arrival at this school? We are no longer either care-free, or altogether verdant, and we are not as yet either women of affairs, or women of great learn- ingf We realize our attainments have been few, but there is cause to rejoice in that we have received all, and more than we had any right to expect. When we look back over our two years of school life, must we not feel that our life here at the Sanitarium has approached closely to the ideal? At least if it has not, the fault lies with us and not with our environment. The two years have offered us hard work not unmixed with worry, but combined with that amount of recreation necessary to make work a pleasure. Above all, the two years at the Sanitarium have given us friendship and the feeling of good fellow- ship. The Home Economic School may not outrank other colleges in equipment or material resources, but you may search far and wide before you find another six score women that make one great family. We have learned to love the dear old Sanitarium and our Alma Mater, and to feel that they love us. We have formed associations which will be a joy for us to remember as long as life lasts. An-d even if we never quite learn to transmit its leaden metals Qnote booksj into gold, these associations and the work we have learned to love, will render it a not altogether sorrowful pilgrimage. The time has come for us to leave and make room for others. To the incoming Seniors, we may say that we know they will shortly dim our fame by the honor they will do the mantle of seniority. 1 Now that we are leaving, it is no wonder that the past occupies our thought as much as the future! For a few short weeks our present will be identified with the past, and then the past will be wholly past. I With its memories we enter the ranks of the Sanitarium elder daughters and leddby lfs IUSPIFHUOI1 we go from home to win fame for our Alma Mater and to ea' OH our YOUUEZCI' Slsters to greater achievements still. 54
