THE COLOR-DAY IVIASCOTS By D. ANN BERKEMEIER mf! the coming of Color-Day, The members of the senior class felt many problems confronted the great anxiety as they assembled for the Seniors. Among them were the occasion of Color-Day on April eighth. selection of the class motto, the decoration of the auditorium, the making of the banner and flag, the composition ot the song and yell, and, last but not least, the selection of the class mascots. Then the problem of whom to select, arose. After much work on the part of the com- mittee in charge, two very charming little girls were chosen. They were Virginia Marie Burns and Patsy Schroeder. The next problem was the preparation of their costumes. After much planning it was decided that they should represent roses, a quite appropriate flower for our class colors, light rose and silver. Ten They feared that the huge student body of Beaumont would frighten the mascots, as they preceded the class to the stage. Never- theless, everything went smoothly. The class in proper order followed the two lit- tle youngsters, who were thoroughly eager to carry out their part on this occasion. They led the class and were apparently enjoying their duties. They bore them- selves perfectly and wavered not the least bit. Their exit was made in much the same way and it was readily agreed that the mascots had truly aided in making our Color-Day a success.

Therefore, behold us, the third class to graduate from the school, the class of June, 1927. To prove to the student-body, for the class was already fully aware of it, that we were really full-fledged Seniors, we elected officers with all due pomp and ceremony. The Honorable Bill CWil- liamj Mueller was made president, with Marguerite Smith to help him at all times: Jack Halveland was again sent to the Student Council, where he was promptly made president of that respect- ed organization: Rex Uphouse, of great fame as Scaramel, was given the task of accounting for our moneysg Bernice Spil- ker, in recognition of last term's services, was made Hreader of the minutesul Grace Halveland, Dorothy Berkemeier, and Kenneth Gerdel, all honest, hard-working citizens, were constituted an executive committee, and Marjorie Klages was advised to write the story in legal form. Thereupon, having made our first bow to society, we hastened to continue our well-begun career. This was done at our Get-Together Party, where every one learned to call every other Senior by his middle name if necessary. Then came the really important event of our lives, Color and Flag Day, upon which we were formally presented to the school as the Senior Class. On this memorable occa- sion, after the class had paraded into the auditorium and were safely seated upon the stage, our president explained the special significance of our colors, silver and light rose, and our motto, Virtus, lus, et Ministeriumf' Then we sang our class song and gave our yell, but disagree- able weather prevented our raising our colors on the campus. The flag raising and tree planting were postponed till we could safely walk abroad. At this writing, we still have before us our first party with the New Seniors, who will try to convince us that they are entirely worthy to carry on the traditions now established for Beaumont. They will not have much difficulty in doing that, for they have already proved them- selves a class worthy of the name, and we congratulate them. and wish them all the success in the world. Now, too, we see Farewell Day loom- ing large before us. For years we have been looking forward to it as a day of days, but now as we realize that it is approaching entirely too quickly, we think otherwise. There are still so many things we want to do here. One of them- we shall never be able to do it adequately -is to thank Miss Quellmalz and Mr. Hall for the long hours of hard work they have so willingly spent in our behalf. Without the guiding hand of these faculty advisers, many of our class affairs would have gone sadly astray. We owe them a debt of gratitude that can never be paid. but none of us will ever forget them. So here's to our future, with all the enchantment of the unknown appealing and appalling, Some of us will plod on day by day: others of us will stride on with seven-league boots: but may we all go together with our motto, Virtus, Ius, et Ministeriumu held high before us. leading us, guiding us.
