Merial Cornelius Seninr YPear Come Senior year, and we appeared garbed in our royal robes, with a queer hushed feeling that we were really grown-up at last, that college had made us Sen.ors, and that we had a tradition to live up to. We sere- naded the Freshmen and did our best to help them over the wild days of just beginning. We gave our first moonlight sing and thrilled at the wonder of the moonlit river and to the gray wall which for a while was ours. We held tipping hats when the wind blew, but kept up the old tradition that we might hand on the trust. For the Faculty soccer game we practiced long and hard, determined to do our best, and afterwards repeated our motto knowingly. We cele- brated our mascot's first birthday and felt quite old and solemn as we ex- plained to wide-eyed Freshmen just what it meant to us. We entertained with all the vigor of our budding social duties; we look forward to the hurried bustle of Commencement week. Perhaps we want the end to come for the adventures that await us in the great to-come. but we know theres a feeling that college days have their own place in our hearts. And we think of our class of 24 in anxiety and pride, in joy and in tribulationtogetheroursand we are proud to save that place for it. 28

MARIAN ARMSTRONG Iike a sudden burst of the elements, Mariano's laugh shakes the walls of Blackstone. We wonder how, in her his- trionic appearances she ever managed to reconcile that laugh with the character of the only original Latin Father Time, or with that of the gay and dashing Spanish servant. This hints at good-nature, and does so correctly, though at times Achil- les or Agamemnon or an unsympathetic professor can arouse a heat of most clas- sical aversion. And even the classics themselves must look to their laurels if Marian sees no good in them, for her mind once made up is immovable. Yet, as a general rule, Marian greets the unclassical word about her with a keen sense of the absurd, memories of the big city of Middletown, and a delicate ringlet in the back of her neck. GLADYS BARNES Do yvou want a good giggle? Listen to Barnes! Have you been too athletic? Get Barnes to rub you! Have you a great secret that simply will be told? It's safe if you tell it to Barnes! Companionable is no word for it. We tremble with fear at the thought of the hordes who will inevitably accept her invitation to take an apartment with her next year. It will have to be an apart- ment hotel to accommodate the number- less guests. And Barnes will need plenty of room herself to keep in practice for her physical ed. classes. That's what she's going to teach, you know. Why, she couldn't do otherwise. She's a natural dancer how she loves it! she stands on her head for minutes at a time, and she's been a mainstay on '24's hockey team for four years. What more do you ask? K . We give you Barnes! Here's to er! 30
