EXTRACTS FROM A SENIOR'S DIARY Sept. 18-Summer over ! Our last long vacation gone! Once more back in old Elmi- ra ! How dear the old girls seem and how motherly we feel toward the new girls l Henry is so tactful-brings us straight up to the fifth floor with never a question. And we are really away up in the dizzy heights of Senior Hall-the land of tl1e midnight-lights. Nina, in spite of her usual irrepressible frivolity, maintained with great credit our new Senior dig- nity at the Y. WV. C. A. reception. Oct. 7-'We all elected astronomy, because it is such fun to do observatory with Miss Young. YVe looked at Jupiter and his moons for an hour, and then went down stairs and danced. Nov. 2-First number of the Sibyl out! It was ushered in with fitting ceremonies by black-robed priestesses of Her Sibyllian Highness. Academic gowns are good for more things than one. Nov. G-Greatest excitement l The china from Japan for Senior Parlors arrived. Three rousing good cheers for Mrs. Lowder ! Nov. 7-At last the curious college public has been welcomed to Senior Parlors, and we-1904-actually have a home all our own. Senior Parlors are all that our ideas, neces- sarily modified by our treasury, can make them. Gave a reception for our delightful Sopho- mores in the afternoon. In the evening the College came en masse, and, judging from the ls relished by the best of men - remarks made, we have done all and mo1'e than was expected of us. Nov. 12 out one thing -The worst ever! l T63.GllS1'SiEX2l.1l'1S. at Elmira Heights! VVe have found -even though we are Seniors there really are some things-in fact some rather trivial things- that we do not know. Nov. 16-Class meeting. Nov. 17-Class meeting. Nov. 18-Class meeting. Nov. 19-Class meeting. Tiny came. Nov. 20-Class meeting. Tiny had such a-good time she came again. Nov. 21 - A little nonsense now and then and even by the dignified Cso-calledj Seniors. Our Minstrel Show has at last come off. Talk about your swell coons H l If laughing steadily for more than an l1our means a good time, those in the audience certainly must have enjoyed themselves. The Freshmen seemed fas- cinated by such gross indignity on the part of Seniors-and especially on the part of Gen- ieve. Dec. 12-Our first Senior spread ! And such a feast as we had l Salad never tasted so good as it did from the dragon plate, and coffee had an added Havor from tl1e chrysanthe- mum cup. Everything was a success. Ethel was horrihed. though, when she discovered that there were thirteen at her table. We surely have never known what class loyalty is until this year, when every Senior is dear to every other one because she is a Senior. As we sang all the old College songs, Alma Mater herself became nearer and clearer, because we felt that all those who praised her had tried her for three years and more, and knew whereof they sang. Jan. 16-The hatchet is buried-or what has always been a poor excuse for such a weapon. The Juniors gave us the best kind of a sleigh-ride party. XVe expected great things of 19105, a11d our expectations were more than fulfilled. Rah,Rah, Rah for Pine City ! And Rah, Rah, Rah for the Class of nineteen five! Jan. 22-Every one breathes easily again l Astronomy Exam. is over ! NVe are still alive. hut decidedly the worse for wear. Greatest relief on the part of the Seniors, as well as Miss Young and all the rest of the College l Feb. 1- The beginning of the end is at hand E VVe have rounded the last curve and are on the home stretch.
