Upper Senior Class History If you came late that first day, what a sight greeted your eyes ! Big girls, little girls, light-haired girls, dark-haired girls, girls who knew it all, lean girls, fat girls, quiet girls, and chattering girls were gathered around the tables in the hall. How did you react? Were you frightened or inter- ested, nervous or self-possessed? You, meaning everyone in the class, were probably in one or another of these conditions. It ' s a very exciting day to the new girls, but it grows less so each of the following three times. The Faculty Reception was a rather unique idea to those of us who were little accustomed to being recognized by teachers outside of class. It was indeed a pleasure to meet instructors and critics to be. The organization of the class and the election of Eva Meyers, president; Ruth Robinson, vice-president; Edward Weber, secretary-treasurer; and James Marshall, reporter, was also interesting because it was so like a really- truly election. But, of course, we women can vote now, so that is not so extraordinary. When we were Lower Juniors, the Lower Seniors gave us a reception and we got well acquainted with many upper class women. We repaid their kindness later by giving them a very pleasant farewell party. Our first attempt at furnishing a program was a success and one merited by long and faithful preparation. We thought of Lincoln, that birthday of his in 1914, rather differently than we ever had before. In our Senior year, we again elected officers: Irene Connor was elected president; Margaret Norton, vice-president; Bertha Kramer, secretary-treas- urer, and Constance Hafner, reporter. Our Thanksgiving program was an immense success! The various groups which represented Thanksgiving in other times and countries other than ours, were well received and students and faculty were well pleased. Since we were Seniors, it devolved upon us to make the little Lower Juniors better acquainted, which we did by a large reception in the new gymnasium. They responded by giving us a very nice farewell party. In the beginning of the year, in September, a number of our girls were put into practice. Their reports to those still waiting for assignments were sometimes joyous, sometimes disheartening. But in February we began, with great hopes for our success. With most of us this success has been realized and we look forward to happy days when we shall be individuals in the great teaching force of Chicago. Mildred J. Hall-
