Seniorology SENIORS is a curious compound called Seniors. It is a very rare compound; and, even where it is found, the elements of which it is made are not of such excellent quality as we have here. They arc all wise scholars, and it is even whispered about that some of them are destined to flourish the rule in the school-room and make life miserable for the youngsters. And say, one of their young men will some day astonish the world and make the sun stand still with amusement when he reveals his scientific knowledge. Hut in spite of the fact that honor and glory await them, they arc exceedingly shy, and at the same time shrewd and gay beyond a doubt. EAGER are they to be efficient and excel in everything they do. They always make a lasting impression even on the front walk that has so faithfully served many students in the past quarter of a century. They have eminent ability, and earnestly desire to Build For Character, Not For Fame. NATURE-STUDY is a specialty among this elegant band. Very thorough in- vestigation of human nature guaranteed. You will not hesitate for a minute to agree with me that this is a notorious crowd, even to the great extent that they are the very nucleus of the college. IDLE ARE they not for one minute, but on the contrary they are diligent workers in nil college activities. Their intelligence and practical application of it arc in- comparable and unequaled. They bravely and cheerfully press forward to the goal, and ns they plod along, may their light so shine as to spread a lasting gleam and to illuminate the whole countryside, so far-reaching and so everlasting is theii influence. OR, NOW, if you desire to analyze carefully another essential clement of this compound, you will find that the Seniors arc original. Why, one member is such a perfect example of originality that no duplicate has ever been known to exist. They are not only original in themselves, but all they do or say is far beyond the thoughts or deeds of others. REMARKABLE is this class indeed, and reliable are the members thereof. Al- ways regardful of others and others’ rights, yet the ruler of them all. But, on the other hand, never domineering, but giving praise to those deserving praise and honor where honor is due. SO STAND the Seniors ever sincere, steadfnst and supreme. Always and forever faithful to their colors of Blue and White, emblems of purity and loyalty; loyalty to their class and above all loyalty to their dear old college. As the white snow reflects the golden sunlight in all its glory, and makes it sparkle and dazzle the eye, so their pure snow-white reflects the Orange, symbol of enlightening power and high ideals of Ccdarvillc College. Their Blues takes on a deeper, truer hue and they pledge their lives to the great cause of education and betterment of the world. R 29

Senior Class Poem “All good things must come to an en We have thot of this often of late; And tho about most things we’ve something to say We bow to this Action of Fate. Tho we hope for a crown when we’ve finished our course, And feel that we’ve fought a good fight, Before we can place this reward on our blccks The things we must do are a fright. We must buy dainty dresses And curl our long tresses We must dig in for themes and exams, We must give a class play And go thru Cedar Day And all of the time-honored shams. The four happy years have a sad termination, Our time for departure draws near, Hut there’s one sweet oasis— The Juniors shall place us At a table of banqueting cheer. And now, my dear readers, Since I have the floor I will give you a bit of good news— This is the last time that my rollicking rhyme You will on these pages peruse. You would not have seen this one But one windy morn This message was brot to my door: “My dear senior, your meter is poor It savors of countryside loam But none else will do it So you must ‘go to it’ And write us a class-ical pome.” 30 Alice Dairies.
