rig? THE STYL S tl .3 g, l geometry was by far the most boring, for we were not used to such concentrated study of parallelograms and angles. It was suggested one night about Eve o'elock that a cafeteria be installed to cater especially to college board students struggling with impossible originals. But these classes did not prevent my at' tending the S. O. S., French Club, and Spec' tator dances. The French dance was especial- ly picturesque with its gay booths, and venf dors in costume. The big event of the year for thc girls, however, was the Track Meet, and although we juniors did not win, we were awarded first costume prize for putting on a Pied Piper stunt. The Pied Piper, dressed in a dazzling costume with a green tunic, red and yellow cape, brown hat, green stockings, and black boots, led the procession. Following her came four frisky gray rats, who had considerable trouble manipulating their tails, and behind them were the people of Hamlin, arrayed in pied costumes and carrying red and gold balloons. Though in athletics we attained no lofty heights, we excelled in scholastic achieve- ments, ten members of our class being ad- mitted to the Intellectual Aristocracyf' an wk ae ae ae as as fMay 9, 1928, I am now a senior and enjoying the privif leges to be accorded to such an exalted posi' tion. We look down on the rest of the school with disdain and consider ourselves on top of the universe. At assemblies we sit on the stage, the cynosure of admiring eyes, and watch impassioned speakers slip too far into the footlights. At Josephson's word we are the irst to march out of the auditorium past the lower classes. Though I cannot believe it, we are soon to graduate, for we have al' ready completed the preliminary preparations, having ordered our rings at Fairchild's and chosen our class characteristics. Our class has assumed the burden of athletics, with Jacobs and Lukachik on the baseball team, and Ward and Swczey among the most prominent in football. Almost the entire personnel of the minor teams is made up of seniors. XVith our gradual rise in social standing fand perhaps in economic valuel, our type of work has changed. We are dipping into Browning and Wcardswrirth and the rest of the English poets with comparatively greater zeal, and are extending our efforts to science and American history. We are also considering the lineage of the Latin gods and translating the works of the ancients. These elevated subjects of thought and en- deavor have, as others say, molded us into seniors, but a literal interpretation of this term is apt to be misleading. The surest intif mation that I have become a senior is perhaps that I have taken up a broader estimation of life and its values, and have become a trifle philosophic. All the minor faults of my fresh' man and sophomore years have vanished into the thin air, leaving the finished product, the senior. My broader estimation of life and my acquired philosophic learning have not been permitted to interfere with my activities at home, however, for I cut the grass and tend the furnace with the same ardor as when I was a freshman.
