llW here 011 where are the grand old seniors? We must confess that we feel neithel Old nor particularly grand but rather awe stricken to think that soon we will be out in the llwide, wide world away from all that makes up college life. Now there will be 110 more late permissions, First row: I. Major, Treas- urer; J. Adams, Sergeant-at- arms; C. Parchert, Sergeant at-arms; I Barben, Vice- President. Second row: I. Segall, Secre- tary; M, Mackie, President; Not pictured: I. Ledermann, Recordcr-of-Points. ttSo Herets To That New Look no more pop quizzes, 110 more W ednesday labs. All this we must leave behind. But the friend- ships and the knowledge that has come with our four years of study we shall carry with us. We shall remember Cotillion and May Day, Sing- Song and I.R.C. and much more.

Once again Roz Hammond and Theo Kramer found that Nit pays to advertise with another Sing-Song victory chalked up for the forty-niners. It is rumored that we are the Erst class to take first place two years in a row. We met two terms of deadlines under Editor-in-Chief Anne Lytle and in April sent the 1948 issue of Donnybrook Fair to the printer. Later that same month each of us took a senior to Junior-Senior dessert and suddenly it dawned upon us that in just one short year our college days would be almost over. Among the souvenirs of our Junior year are the heart-bedecked cotillion programs, ticket stubs from football games at Yale, Princeton, and An- napolis. There are memories of slam bridge hands, of mid-winter snow battles, and of a case of spring fever which came just at exam time. With these that weVe tucked away weKre left room for the trophies we shall collect during the best year ever. Senior Year, 1949! 21

We had a gay year but behind it all there was a lot of seriousness. First of all Com- prehensives were coming closer. But somehow Comprehensives were more than an examination to be dreaded. They meant the end of four wonderful years years in which Goueher has changed and grown and we have Changed and grown. True, bthe wide, wide 33 ' orld is terrif3L ing.
