It combines two opposing feelings--e-elution and sadness. Because it anticipates a linal achievement, the fourth year is a going for- ward and a look backward. The future is un- certain and unknown, the past has been LIC- complished. Yet, of all the years at college, the senior is closest to our hearts. For the history of the class of nineteen hundred forty, we shall return to our fourth year, making it appear on a revolving stage while we in retrospect watch each event take place. Our hrst realization of the responsibilities of seniors came at the last assembly of our junior year when the new oflicers for the coming year in both the class and the various clubs were announced. It was our first taste of the joy of achievement. We were formally advanced on Moving-Up Night when we proudly walked on the stage and the graduating class of '39 removed our blue and buff tassels, replacing them with the distinctive black tassels of seniorhood. Seniors! What a glorious word. Yet, despite the joy, there was mingled with it the first approach of foreboding. Look around you. Glance at the graduating class. Did they not once feel as we do? One year is such a short time. One year and we shall have left the sheltering arms of Saint Rose, one year and we shall have changed from collegians into graduates. Truly, all happiness is tinged with sorrow. We bade good-bye to members of a class who had been our traditional enemies in our lirst year, our acquaintances in our second, and ourfriends in the third. Good-bye '39! Hail and farewell! We shall miss you, we know, but we shall meet again in the Alumnae. In September 1939, studies for most of the class began before the olhcial opening of the Col- lege, with practice teaching, the boon and the bane of all seniors. After years of being taught by Others, we suddenly discovered our positions reversed. We were teaching. How small high 119
