SeereUiry-Tredsitrei SENIOR CLASS Our seninr class is held up la llie iiiulerelasstnnn e e As the model ihal each one should strive to mold his jiiliire In. So when you are a senior, thinking it ' s because of you. Rememher nhere ( ' U i ol your start. Give credit nhere it ' s due. What we need, shouted Snaki Knight as she balanced precariously on the window sill, is action! Are the students aware that tliere are Seniors on campus while our men were away? ei V little! Haven ' t we paid hundreds — er — dozens of dollars out of our own pockets to rent soldiers for dances? es! 1 am now broke, there- fore I vote thai we do something, just we seniors, to Seniors on campus? No! Have we had an fun sort of make up for our lost vears! Win don t we take a trip or something? President Christine Stan field. 1) banging mad- ly on the top of the piano, brought the meeting under control. Will someone suggest a sug- gestion? she called loudly. After a pregnant pause. Kay Wood ' s oice came from the depths of the electric Idue sofa. I like the idea of a trip. This was made into a motion, seconded, and the senior class declared formally that it would take a trip to some spot of the globe at some time not el decicled upon.

A spinning bicycle tire lo ' t fortunes for desperate veterans as they placed their little all on number 26 to win the slightly soiled pink rabbits discariled by finicky Kress stores. . . .

The seniors gloated o er their wealth in secret and in public until with dismay they learned that no week-ends were free. For awhile they were stunned, but on a bright Sunday morning in May, other early risers could see the class, tastefully arrayeil in paint-smeared jeans and ragged jackets, eating breakfast around the lire- |)lace in the pasture. This is much better than a trip. sighed Sue Shelton. looking lovingly toward (!()X. meanwhile squirting a stream of grapefruit juice in Bertie ' s eve as she dua; for another bite.
