X'- Eudora Hanke tried to explain to John SanderSOn that they could not use an organ- ist. iiBut I know ab0ut books, too, San- derson went away mumbling. Erland Nelson stood near the purple cur- tains heroically misquoting Scott: uLitres there a student with a soul so dead who never to himself has said, this is mine own, my blessed school; where none but the good may go? Al Walker was busily taking notes on the speech while he whispered to a student, Pd go great in that reporter role? A student mentioned that some one was needed to tell anecdotes. Alice Kibbe and Paul Hering rushed up, gulping Out their narratives while a student judge crossed his arms with an air of disgust. William Krauss was busy dictating a let- ter to J. Bryce Sardiga twho had previously boasted that he could type faster than Krauss could talks while he argued with Orville Riggs as to who was the best man for the role of business manager. Pearl Goeller stood by with the unsigned eonw tract. Ralph Hanson and Ferdinand Bale pointed out that history had proved that men with the biggest horn-blowers got the roles they wanted. Merle Boyer sought to bring the anxiOus Candidates back toe'ithe original premise. You both have :1 point there. But your reasoning is defective. Lloyd Larson pointed out the presence of federal laws. Elsie Grote was busy painting murals for the backdrop while Emily Pennock and Anna Wind discussed the possibility that the work would turn out to be a Minnesota farm scene or a Spanish village. Mrs. Bale suggested it might be a German rural view. Laura Baker and Eileen Watt giggled as they showed their prize cakes to a senior student in home ec. Archie Boatman and Milford Franks, attracted by the pleasant odor of the freshly-baked pastries, resolved t0 '1in the varying circumferences 0f the theoretically symmetrical cakes. Marilyn Brees tried to talk the student out of a bite of the cake, Just a taste,, she said coyly. Stanley Oexmann stood in the corner with his hand on his chin, considering the situation, While Ruth Dahlgren was busy running around trying to organize the group into a dancing class. Suddenly an irate student rose to the barrel-head and announced that rehearsals and casting would have to be postponed until the next day. The faculty members were too noisy. They say the play was never produced, but students had a lot of fun thinking abOut it. We even had fun, imagining it!

Yes, the senior class of 1948 is gone from the Carthage College campus. Their going is felt deeply by a majority of the student body. For, from among the seniors the students had picked many of their leaders. These senior stu- dents who were the leaders in athletics, student body activities and in scholarship won for themselves a high place in the history of the school. Many of the seniors were veterans who came back from war to finish their educa- tion. This graduation was an especially great thing to them. Their experiences made their whole college life full of a deeper meaning for them. Among the more than iifty seniors who were graduated from Carthage on May 31,
