SENIDIQS Takelt HAS Y0u'Lik2ii'iz'9, All the school's a stage, And all the lads and lassies merely players, Q They have their exits and their entrances, And one boy in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. First the pre-school child, Clinging to mama's skirt in sudden fear. Then we have the jaunty kindergartener VVith his blocks and colored sugar candy. And then the whining grade-boy, with his yo-yo And shining morning face, creeping like a snail Unwillingly to school. Then the junior-high boy, Sighing like a furnace, with a woeful ballad Madewto his teacherls eyebrow. Then the sophomore, Full of strange ideas, and a fuzz upon his lipg Jealous inhhonor, eager and earnest to learn, Upholding his school's traditions Even across the river. And then the junior, Knowing a little, but puffed up a bit, With eyes aglow, and fuzz but slightly trimmed, Full of wise saws and modern instancesg And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into that of the digniiied senior VVith his raccoon coat and his saxophone, His gaudy hose of nightmare hues, drooping, Round his ankleg and his big manly voice Booming, making all the sweet young things gaze Longingly after him.r-Last -scene of 'all That ends this strange eventful history, ' Is graduation and then job-hunting VV ith courage, hope, and ribboned diploma. -MARGARET WILLEY. Winners in Personality Contest In a contest sponsored by the Senior Quill Staff, Virginia Ward and Dale Batesole were chosen as the two seniors with the most outstanding person- ality. Close runners-up were Merritt Hammans and VVil1na Shaw. All of these seniors have been interested in extra-curricular activities during their three years in East High. Virginia has been of great service to the school. She has been president of the Zetagathean Literary Society, secretary of the Senior Class, and an important member of the Student Council Citizenship committee. Dale's ac- tivities are almost too numerous to mention. but the most important of the offices which he held were: President of the Student Council, president of E Epi Tan, the senior class, and cheerleader captain. VVilma's extra-curricu- lar activities are well known, for she has been an active member in several clubs, while Merritt has- won distinction through his efforts in extemporaneous speaking. It is very' evident that 'the selection of these seniors is justified. Page Five
