(Senior Class M Mm mn »f- . . ' c-.gT ' V EVER in the hirLory of the Hill- I W ' P ' ' more unusual Senior pl r . carried on the traditions of George- town. Veterans, non-veterans, pre-war George- towners, transfer students were assimilated and united in a single class and they took their place with assurance at the head of the first post-war Georgetown student bod -. Old and new Georgetown men of e er ' age were represented in the Senior Class, and the maturity gained b - these men during the war was evident in classroom and extra- curricular activities in which they partici- pated. The earnestness and confidence of their endeavors in every acti it - of the university helped to make their reputations as leaders recognized throughout the campus. The Sen- iors numbered well over one hundred; but its influence in this year ' s activities and ac- complishments was stronger than that number would indicate. Due to the necessity of formulating an immediate plan of student activities, the Yard President conducted the elections of the Sen- ior Class during the latter part of the summer. When the first officers were elected, the Seniors began a full schedule of classes and a hectic year of acti ities. The reorganization of many clubs and groups which were temporarily sus- pended luring the war was completed in a business-like manner. Among the special activities sponsored by the Senior Class were the traditional Senior- I ' reshman Tea Dance and the Senior Ball.
