Symbols of A Senior These are the marks of a senior—the class ring, cap, and diploma. Each person from the moment he enters the seventh grade anticipates these articles. To the seventh grader it seems very far in the future before he may attain these symbols of a senior. Time goes by very fast and soon you are a junior. When the class rings arrive in the spring, the prospective senior wears his ring with a great deal of pride. All through his senior year, the prospective graduate wears his ring with the school symbol, the tiger, facing inward. When he becomes a graduate, the ring is turned around; and the senior as well as the tiger looks into the future. In the spring the caps and gowns are se- lected and worn with pride. As he receives his cap, the senior anticipates the night of gradua- tion when he may switch the tassel on his cap to the opposite side. This will signify that he is a Cushing High School graduate. The most priceless symbol of a senior is the diploma. The graduate will cherish this valuable piece of paper for the rest of his life. The diploma not only represents twelve years of hard work, but it also stands for all of the fun we have had and the wonderful friends we have enjoyed. As we the Seniors of 1959 shine our rings, select our caps, and anticipate graduation night, it is our hope that all seniors-to-be will remember these symbols and strive to make their school proud of them. With pride, but with a touch of sadness, we turn our rings outward with the hope that we will all find happiness in the future.
