Senior Edit rial lt see111s hardly possible that the ti111e has come wl1e11 tl1e Class of IQOS must read its Senior Editorial. For it see111s llllt a short ti111e ago, not as far back as ftllll' years, at lilly rate, whe11 we hurried to tl1e scl1ool b11ildi11g tl1e first time, loitered around tl1e doors for a little while, Lllltl then straggled i11to llll' assembly hall. eager, expectant, Zllltl charmed by tl1e novelty of it all. lt seems more a matter of n1ontl1s tl1a11 of years since tl1.ose first few moons when, lltll witl1o11t cause.we admit, we were considered green Zllltl fresl1. llut many 11100118 have passed si11ce tl1en. Gradually, with so111e exertion Oll tl1e part of ourselves Zllltl others, the verdant freshness has worn off,-we do llOt say completely, lllll enough so tl1at the faculty now consider 11s almost ripe, and therefore nearly ready for the picking. During our se11ior year we l1ave passed through 111a11y rather trying experi- ences, which we have accepted as a part of the ripening scl1e111e. lint at present we are confronted by a duty that requires all our CCYIIFHQC and patience,-we must have written for us our Senior Editorial-and then we l1'lllSt read it. An editorial. properly speaking, is 1l0t a history. llut, to serve o11r ends, we are going to call up before our 111ind's eye past CVClltS i11 tl1e life of o11r class wl1icl1 have not yet grow11 cold in o11r memory. a11d 11ever will, we hope. Vfe are going to 1'Cllllllll ourselves of that first glorious sociable of ours, when we chased i11 reckless abandon about the assembly hall, i11 tl1e breath-taking l1l1CSt of a COll'lll'lOll handkerchief and platter, or marched. arm in arm, witl1 neither q11iet 11or dignified tread, tln'ough tl1e 11pper halls, ill blissful ignorance that propriety was calli11g for lights. Allowing a monient for tl1e blushes to leave our cheeks, our minds next feel again tl1e impressions they received when we Hrst gazed 11pon our pict11re i11 tl1e ijRl'f.Xll of lQO2,1XVllCl'C we were depicted as little chicks, 11estli11g under tl1e pro- tCClillg wings of an old hen whose head looked for all the world like tl1e ki11d face of o11r Uncle Joe, or fussinwg over a 112111 of taffy, which, we suppose, was intended to represent our sociable! 16
