lli0ili|lStit of Our Senior Year A senior to a newbie is the end of all being. A Girardian grows up with I the beacon of the senior year to guide him. After ten long years we have fulfilled our hope; the dream is reality. And now we are looking back on this wonderful year, crowed with the good life, but far, far too brief. We can still feel the emotional tang of enjoying our first day as seniors and vividly recall the pride of walking down the Chapel aisle as upper classmen. The White Supper, our final Christmas Concert, the dramatic produc¬ tions, WGC, swimming, soccer, fencing contests, N.H.S. elections, dances, trips, and the Dynamics; College Boards, term papers, hours of study. Each of these and many more are the color and strength painted into the wonderful year. Now even walking to the dining room or to the shop has a deeper meaning. We are more aware of our Girard than ever before. Perhaps our Washington trip, when we left the school as a body for a few days, brought us an awareness of class spirit. It w ' as a senior highlight etched in our minds as a gift from our older brothers, the Alumni. We are, of course, sorry to give up our rooms, to leave our friends, our teachers and our home; the bells, the classes, and all that made this Hum life so good. Suddenly we know how much everyone has been giving us to make us ready for the commencement of the next step in living—jobs, military service, or college. Allen will soon be empty and waiting to be filled with another class of Stephen Girard’s senior sons. Embedded in our every action was the knowledge that we reflected the intrinsic meaning of a Girard education. As seniors and school leaders we set the standards in the classroom, in athletics, in social events, and in school life generally. With graduation at hand we are deeply conscious of the fact that we could have done more and better work. This is probably the apex of our senior learning. 8
