entor GE Once upon a time there were some little freshmen who grew and grew until at last they were great big Seniors. It took’a long time to get to be Seniors, and they were all very proud of this fact. Things began in the usual way with this set of seniors . . . there was coffee in the parlor, across from the faculty, and of course they all acted just as dignified as they possibly could. They also had late, late, late per- mission—they could stay out until 12 o'clock on Saturday nights. Then there were Senior Days, when everybody could show off their robes and mortarboards and dignifiedly march into chapel together like one long black rib- bon. One day they all got little gold rings, which proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were really Big Seniors. Naturally, they all had a fine time, in between studying a little bit, and dating, and doing all sorts of things that Seniors love to do (like cutting classes, taking all their mid-weeks, and leaving on week- ends). Then there was a Song Contest to see who could sing the best out of all the classes. They won the Pep Song! But while they were still being proud about their victory, there came the first big Civ test—and Garibaldi and her red-shirts had quite a little skirmish—filibusters and all. They all came through with fairly nice colors— if not flying ones! They chalked up another victory, this time in the field of sports—they won the Hockey Tourna- ment, and later on they won the Volleyball Tournament, too. Interspersed with all of these exciting things were a few necessary evils. For you see, like all other classes, this class was almost void of money. So for money- making projects they sold Coker notes, Coker shirts, and stationary. They even ran the projector for the Saturday night movies. With a dollar here and a dollar there, they pulled through. We proudly wore our rings. Well, time kept flying by, and these people were having all sorts of fun. Some more exams came, and fi- nally one day everybody in the whole school put on a white dress for an event caled Class Day. This meant that these Seniors were getting ready to leave a place for some new Seniors. istory Some of the Seniors made Who's Who, and some of them made What's What? Four of them were asked to join the other three Senior members in Sophiades. The others were real proud of them. Time marched on and before they knew it they were in the midst of pandemonium—exams .. . Teacher's Exams, Graduate Record Exams, Civil Service Exams— exams, exams, exams. And then, for a while it was all over, and they could sit back and relax. But in March, they had to present the Senior play—Arsenic and Old Lace. That was a lot of fun, but it almost drove a few of them crazy. . . (pardon, crazier). Anyway, the play was a great big suc- cess. Then one weekend they all sneaked off when nobody ‘cept some juniors, and sophomores and- freshmen knew that they were going; they called that Sneak Weekend. While they were on their weekend they really let their hair down— they figured that they didn’t have to be dignified among themselves too much. Then the very next day they all put on their robes, caps and gowns for the last time and went to the Audi- torium to get their diplomas. This was a big day for the Seniors, for it meant that a whole lot of them would be going on to da all sorts of wonderful things, but they were very sad. These little freshmen had grown to be Seniors. They loved their old home, and although they were sup- posed to be grown up, now that they were getting di- plomas, they were really freshmen at heart—and would always be. Barbara Finch Arsensc and Old Lace was a big success . . . with Nancy as Dr. Herman Einstein; Liz as Jonathan Brewster; Peggy as Martha Brew- ster; and Frankie as Abby Brew- stera There were the lesser superlatives chosen Prayer group on Senior Hall brought everyone to Ward and .
