IOR Bob Koester President V Ioan Murphy Secretary-treasurer ww' 5 Bob Woodworth Vice-president i'At last, complete supremacy. Masters, after three years. These are typical ex' clamations of a senior on the iirst day of school. The next and following days, howf ever, said senior begins to wonder if he were in his right mind when he muttered masters, Some of the necessary evils endured by seniors are American history tests. Durf ing one of these examinations it is not an uncommon occurrence for the high spots of a senior's life to pass through his mind in a few seconds.
