Q F Senior Class O organization amounts to much unless it is measuring up to definite respon- sibilities. An organization that stands for nothing amounts to nothing. The above generalization applies to college classes. It seems to us that a senior class has responsibilities that are different, in degree at least, from those of other classes. The senior, as he approaches graduation, is a' representative product of the college. The standing of a college is determined, or at any rate should be, by the nature of the product. So it seems to us that there is a challenge to every senior which he has no right to ignore. The torch is thrown to him. It is his duty to hold it high. In the classroom it ought to be possible to detect a difference in the standard of the work accomplished. A greater consistency, a greater readiness perhaps, something that marks the difference between the finished and the partially finished product. Then, again, it would seem that a senior should give some evidence of a maturing social judgment. There ought to be a sureness, a dignity, if you please Cand we use the word in all seriousnessj that marks the cultured individual. The senior support of college activities should be expressed in a material way. There is a type of citizen who takes off his hat to the Hag and stands when the national anthem is sung and then lies in his tax report every year. This attitude applies in the matter of school activities. Any senior who is taking part in none of the more worth while activities of his college is failing to measure up to the responsibility that is his. Yet here again one should expect to see judgment exercised in balancing social activities with class work. Perhaps one of the greatest demands upon the senior is that he show a high type of leadership in those activities in which he participates. As teaching approaches nearer and nearer to the rank of a true profession the teacher is being called to assume a part of the burden of community leadership. There should be some evidence that the senior is fitted to assume the burden which will soon be his whether he will or not. I . These responsibilities are not set forth as being peculiar to the senior class. The difference is merely one of degree. Because of the additional training and experience it is only fair to expect more of the maturer individual. It has not been our purpose to set forth a history of our accomplishments as a class but rather to clarify objectives for those that follow. To faculty and fellow- students we extend our best wishes for the future. We hope that, as we take our place in the teaching profession, our ideals and attainments may reflect credit upon those who have helped us on the way. e. n , 9 I
